A healthy schedule of seven games kicks off with Everton making the early afternoon trip to Wolverhampton as the Dugout Discussion opens it’s doors for today’s somewhat shortened -we’ll have no evening kick-off for the next two Saturday’s- affairs.

Everton’s squad continues to walk the fine line of obscurity (check out their bench and play spot the player) with injury hitting their squad heavily as Seamus Coleman fails to pass muster and now joins the likes of Tim Cahill, Louis Saha and Mikel Arteta on the sidelines allowing young summer signing Magaye Gueye his first league start.

Mick McCarthy has acted as intimated in the week and made a couple of changes from the side which were romped up at St. James’ Park last week as Stephen Fletcher comes in for Adam Hammill while Adlene Guedioura makes his first start in six months after recovering from a broken leg to oust Nenad Milijas. Teams in full are…

Wolves: Hennessey; Foley, Berra, Stearman, Elokobi; Guedioura, Henry, O’Hara, Jarvis, Fletcher; Ebanks-Blake

Everton: Howard; Hibbert, Baines, Distin, Jagielka; Gueye, Heitinga, Osman, Neville, Bilyaletdinov; Beckford

We’ll then close out our action this Saturday with six fixtures at once as the three o’clock games roll-in after affairs at Molineux come to a close as Chelsea host Wigan and Manchester United host Fulham in particular with eyes firmly locked on the line-ups of the two top-table sides ahead of their Champions League second leg on Tuesday.

The Dugout Discussion will be with you through all of this until the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) bonus points come in, we update the latest Opta stats and Sir Paulos’ knees get all jerky later on today.

      Nani did a little chip, Hughes got a touch and Tony headed in.

      50/50 if he'll keep it or not IMO.

    I was pretty close captaining Nani this week, but went with RvP again, because I lack balls. Let's hope Arsenal pulls their thumbs out of their asses and scores a couple tomorrow.
