[Q]: Stoke City appear to have bought astutely once again in the transfer market, strengthening in various areas and adding quality too. The departures of Steven N’Zonzi and Asmir Begovic are highly significant, but manager Mark Hughes has recruited in both positions and brought in players who can increase creativity and goals. They open their campaign at home to Liverpool, who were demolished 6-1 in the final game of last season, and the team is likely to have a number of alterations. Here, Sportsmail picks a likely XI for the duration of the season should all Hughes’s men be fit. Hughes set his team out in a clear system last year even while switching personnel depending on opponent and form. The front four, for example, was a carousel of names. It should be the same formation this campaign.Losing Asmir Begovic and Steven N'Zonzi this summer was a big blowBut Mark Hughes has responded impressively once again this summerStoke ended last season by battering Liverpool at the Britannia StadiumSo who is likely to line up for Hughes' side in this season's opener?Premier League news: CLICK HERE for all the latest from the EPL

[Q]: Jeremain Lens was axed from Sunderland’s first-team squad and is set to be fined two weeks' wages after refusing to take part in a post-match workout, Sportsmail can reveal. The Holland forward – a £9million summer signing from Dynamo Kiev - was an unused substitute during the 1-0 home defeat to Watford last weekend. Afterwards, Lens infuriated manager Sam Allardyce and his backroom team by refusing to join his fellow subs in a running exercise on the pitch at the Stadium of Light. The Black Cats boss and the club are now in the process of imposing a maximum fine – thought to be in the region of £100,000 – and Lens trained with the Under-21s towards the end of last week.Jeremain Lens failed to take part in running exercise after Watford defeatDutchman set to be handed maximum club fine and trained with Under 21sDropped for Sunderland's squad against Chelsea for 'disciplinary reasons'Boss Sam Allardyce and players infuriated by forward's attitude

[Q]: Hong Kong (CNN) -- Farmers from a village in southwest China literally turned a multimillion dollar windfall into a wall of cash. This week, residents of Jianshe village in Sichuan Province took delivery of blocks of money worth 13 million yuan ($2.1 million) in year-end bonuses they had earned from a rural co-operative scheme. Residents had invested in farmland and small-scale hydropower plants since 2010. Around 340 out of 483 households are shareholders in the small village, which has a population of less than 2,000 people. Before they could distribute their earnings to individual residents ahead of Chinese New Year, they had the problem of where to store -- and guard -- it.Villagers in China's Sichuan province build a $2.1M "money wall" out of year-end bonusesThey run a rural co-operative that invests in farmland and hydropower plantsThe money was heavily guarded before being distributing in time for Chinese New YearGuard: "It was so uncomfortable sleeping on so much money"
