The first day of a gameweek that stretches over five successive days gets underway shortly at Molineux. Follow all the day’s action with us in our Dugout Discussion chatroom.

So Mick McCarthy’s side host a Liverpool team looking to avenge the defeat from their previous league meeting in today’s early game, and the team sheets are in…

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

Liverpool XI: Reina, Kelly, Skrtel, Agger, Johnson, Kuyt, Lucas, Poulsen, Meireles, Maxi, Torres

Both sides line-up as expected, with only Christian Poulsen starting ahead of Jay Spearing for the visitors.

Following that we have a colossal seven fixtures this afternoon and evening. At 3pm Arsenal host Wigan, Blackpool kick-off their home double against Darren Bentless Sunderland, West Ham travel to Steven Pienaarless Everton, Fulham welcome the visit of Stoke, Man United take on Birmingham and Spurs are up at Newcastle.

Then, this evening, big-spenders Man City face big-spenders Aston Villa at Villa Park.

    Praying for Hernandez to start with Rooney against Blackpool. Rest Berba, you know it makes sense Whisky face.

                I think that was probably more to do with him having to compete against ronaldo/raul.......

                (He had the highest goals to minutes played ratio in 2004/2005)

          Two tap ins. First half he was very good though. He was having a right tussle with one of the Wolves defenders (can't remember who) and it clearly made him angry and spurred him on. Was quieter second half.

          Meireles should definitely get the 3 baps though, he was brilliant today.

        I know, I never said it did? I'm a United fan, I'm perfectly aware of the reasons O' Shea came in today. He had Brown/Fabio to compete with for the position though, was not long off a comeback from injury with the reserves, and Rafael will be back next week. 12 points is pretty lucky for someone who brought in O' Shea. imo.

        Anyway, that's beside the point - anyone hear anything from a post match presser maybe about Rio?

      No. The keeper has to save it, not just watch it land in Hertfordshire.

        On another note, Al Habsi had 7 saves by half-time and this was unchanged by FT - didn't he touch the ball in 2nd half?

      No, as it wasn't a save.
