Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Saturday

A trio of three o’clock showdowns continue Saturday’s proceedings before we drop in on Stamford Bridge for the evening encounter.

Palace host Southampton at Selhurst Park, with the likes of Adam Lallana and Rickie Lambert hoping to spoil the hosts’ clean sheet. Norwich entertain Stoke at Carrow Road – Robert Snodgrass will carry the Canaries’ attacking threat as John Ruddy and his defence attempt to register a fifth successive shut-out in front of their own fans. Finally, the bottom two go head-to-head in Wales, as Cardiff and Fulham attempt to clamber out of the drop zone.

Those matches lead us up nicely to the concluding match of the Gameweek, where league leaders Chelsea entertain Spurs at the Bridge. Leader of this week’s Captain Poll, Eden Hazard, carries the armband hopes of many as Jose Mourinho’s side look for a win that would stretch their lead at the summit to seven points.

As always, you can look to our Twitter feed for news of today’s teamsheets, while our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open and will accompany you through today’s matches right through until the last kick at the Bridge.

        Fancy Lukaku to return more than Aguero to be completely honest. So many questions surrounding Aguero's playing time and his fitness, and we have two matches before next gameweek also.

        Lukaku for me. Hope i dont regret it. Ill try and get Yaya in i think.

    A helpful score check will be after GW31 when people post their combined 29/31 gw scores since that weighed so heavily on transfer decisions.

    so with a score of 47, I'm hoping to reverse some of the damage of my 65k > 97k drop from capping Ivanovic last week..

    not sure how big a move I'll actually make 😐
