Just the solitary Premier League fixture today, as Reading host Tottenham Hotspur with both sides looking for their first win of the campaign. The Dugout Discussion is open, and is the place to interact with your fellow fantasy managers as the events at the Madejski Stadium unfold. The team news is in, and here’s how the sides line-up…

Reading XI: McCarthy, Gunter, Gorkss, Pearce, Hartel, McCleary, Karacan, Leigertwood, McAnuff, Guthrie, Pogrebnyak.

Spurs XI: Friedel, Walker, Gallas, Vertonghen, Naughton, Sandro, Dembele, Lennon, Sigurdsson, Bale, Defoe.

It’s the men between the sticks that grab the headline team news, as Alex McCarthy replaces Adam Federici (injured) for the Royals, but Brad Friedel keeps Spurs’ new-signing Hugo Lloris at bay on the substitutes bench.

Elsewhere, Clint Dempsey and Emmanuel Adebayor are also on the visitors’ bench, and Kyle Naughton replaces Benoit Assou-Ekotto at left-back.

The Dugout Discussion chatroom is open and can be accessed right here.

      Not really. He scored, a scuffed effort. He's hardly running the show like he did previously.

      I'm happy with Hazard Cazorla at the moment.

        Forgot that you got less points for scuffed shots.

        Oh no wait...

        I want Hazard for next week but pretty sure that those of us who kept Bale have a right to feel smug as there was an insane over the top reaction to a couple of last minute draws as people followed the media script written for AvB. I think half the posters on here think they could win the portuguese league given the comments from last week.

        My smugness is somewhat tempered by the fact i've had no keeper for 2 weeks in a row which is borderline disgraceful management - as is my second 1 point captain of the year...

        Meh!

      true. Bale owners got lucky though. He's been anonymous all game then scores a flukey goal with a mis-cue

        Chances created pre this game would say otherwise for Mr Bale. It made sense.
