With no early fixtures today, gameweek 23 kicks-off with five 3pm games before Arsenal travel to Upton Park this evening. All the action can be followed in our Dugout Discussion chatroom.

The team news from the afternoon games is in, and here are the line-ups…

Chelsea XI: Cech, Bosingwa, Ivanovic, Terry, Cole, Essien, Ramires, Lampard, Anelka, Drogba, Malouda

Blackburn XI: Robinson, Salgado, Nelsen, Samba, Givet, Dunn, Olsson, Pedersen, Hoilett, Kalinic, Mame Diouf

Didier Drogba and Michael Essien both start for the home side, contrary to earlier stories. As for Blackburn, they make several changes notably welcoming back Chris Samba and benching El-Hadji Diouf.

Man City XI: Hart, Zabaleta, Toure, Kompany, Kolarov, De Jong, Barry, Adam Johnson, Toure Yaya, Tevez, Dzeko

Wolves XI: Hennessey, Zubar, Stearman, Berra, Ward, Hunt, Milijas, David Jones, Jarvis, Doyle, Fletcher

The major news from the game at Eastlands is that the new £27m signing Edin Dzeko makes his Premier League debut for the home side.

Stoke XI: Begovic, Wilkinson, Shawcross, Huth, Higginbotham, Delap, Whitehead, Wilson, Etherington, Jones, Sanli

Bolton XI: Jaaskelainen, Ricketts, Cahill, Knight, Robinson, Mark Davies, Muamba, Holden, Taylor, Kevin Davies, Elmander

Tuncay’s self-promotion earlier in the week seems to have done the business, as he starts for Stoke City today. Importantly for Bolton, Stuart Holden has come through an injury scare to start.

West Brom XI: Myhill, Jara, Tamas, Scharner, Cech, Mulumbu, Morrison, Brunt, Dorrans, Thomas, Odemwingie

Blackpool XI: Kingson, Eardley, Cathcart, Evatt, Crainey, Vaughan, Adam, Grandin, Taylor-Fletcher, Campbell, Varney

Roberto Di Matteo drops goalkeeper Scott Carson for the first time in the league this season, handing a start to Boaz Myhill.

Wigan XI: Al Habsi, Stam, Gary Caldwell, Alcaraz, Gohouri, Watson, N’Zogbia, Thomas, Diame, Figueroa, Rodallega

Fulham XI: Stockdale, Pantsil, Hangeland, Baird, Hughes, Davies, Etuhu, Murphy, Duff, Dempsey, Kamara

Charles N’Zogbia returns from suspension and starts for Wigan. As for Fulham, strikers Andrew Johnson and Moussa Dembele are only fit enough to make the bench.

Man City: Hart, Zabaleta, Toure, Kompany, Kolarov, De Jong, Barry, Adam Johnson, Toure Yaya, Tevez, Dzeko

          I think Fabianski is great value for a 1st choice top 4 side, he is a season keeper for me.

        Don't agree. The midfield is more fluid than that. He's made run forwards, he just either hasn't been found, or has messed it up.

          It's that notion that teams hack and bully arsenal's better players into submission. I simply don't agree, but i can understand you are worried by your cap's peril. Did you watch the game at OT? My god they were dirty, if they did get a bit of physical ruffing up they'd deserve it frankly!

            i don't see why it has to be something that always happens. team x is very dirty, team y always receive rpugh treatment. it's simply in this one off scenario today in this match i am worried west ham players will start lashing out in frustration.
