We have five Premier League fixtures about to get under-way, so the Dugout Discussion chatroom has been opened for you to absorb all the action as it unfolds.

The team news from all the 3pm games is in, and here are the all-important line-ups…

Aston Villa XI: Friedel, Walker, Collins, Dunne, Luke Young, Downing, Reo-Coker, Petrov, Ashley Young, Bent, Heskey

Wigan XI: Al Habsi, Alcaraz, Boyce, Gary Caldwell, Figueroa, Cleverley, McCarthy, Watson, N’Zogbia, Moses, Rodallega

Villa can call upon the services of Richard Dunne and Emile Heskey despite being slight doubts earlier in the week. The visitors can also breathe a sigh of relief as Charles N’Zogbia starts.

Bolton XI: Jaaskelainen, Steinsson, Knight, Cahill, Robinson, Chung-Yong, Muamba, Elmander, Taylor, K Davies, Sturridge

Sunderland XI: Mignolet, Bardsley, Mensah, Zenden, Malbranque, Henderson, Onuoha, Colback, El Mohamady, Sessegnon, Ferdinand

Daniel Sturridge is deemed fit to start for the Wanderers, but Sunderland are forced into naming a make-shift side.

Everton XI: Howard, Hibbert, Jagielka, Distin, Baines, Arteta, Heitinga, Neville, Osman, Rodwell, Anichebe

Man City: Hart, Zabaleta, Kompany, Lescott, Kolarov, De Jong, Vieira, Milner, Toure Yaya, Silva, Dzeko

Tim Cahill, Jermain Beckford and Seamus Coleman are all named on the substitutes bench for Everton. Also on the bench is Mario Balotelli, who gives way for Edin Dzeko.

Newcastle XI: Krul, Simpson, Steven Taylor, Coloccini, Jose Enrique, Barton, Nolan, Tiote, Gutierrez, Lovenkrands, Ameobi

Birmingham XI: Foster, Carr, Jiranek, Johnson, Ridgewell, Larsson, Ferguson, Fahey, Bowyer, Beausejour, Jerome

The Magpies line-up as expected, and Birmingham’s only slight surprise is that Jean Beasujour is favoured to Alexander Hleb.

West Ham XI: Green, Jacobsen, da Costa, Gabbidon, Bridge, Spector, Hitzlsperger, Boa Morte, Sears, Cole, Ba

Blackburn XI: Robinson, Emerton, Samba, Givet, Olsson, Nzonzi, Jermaine Jones, Diouf, Pedersen, Hoilett, Roberts

David Hoilett finally makes his Rovers return in what is a huge game at the foot of the table against West Ham, who cannot call upon captain-fantastic Scott Parker today.

After all that we’re off to White Hart Lane, where Spurs take on Blackpool in a game that will have significant ramifications at both ends of the table.

        Sorry i didn't realise i was going for ranking at the beginning of season. Many unneeded subs used just to make sure i win my mini-league. Would rather beat 20 mates than a bunch of keyboard warriors. N yes i find many opinions on here funny as hell 🙂

            Actually it does. I've rolled the dice on many occassions. Soemtimes enter into pakts with the guys above me that we'll make so many subs in a gw just to make it fun. I really haven't taken overall ranking too seriously like some of the no-lifers on here but starting to do O.K now n an average of 7-pts for last 14 weeks is pretty decent after deductions.

            I come on here mainly for injury news and the odd sane opinion - this usually comes early in the morning when there are less knobbers on.

            I don't mind playing devil's advocate on a site with a 80% component of sheep. Its quite funny to read. But to shy away from my opinion i will not just because someone disagrees or gets upset about it.

              Come here this is highly hypocritical. You were fobbing peoples opinions earlier because of their rank and now your saying rank doesn't matter. Almost as hypocritical as slagging people for suggesting taking out nani because "it'll ruin peoples teams" and then doing it yourself.

            Funnily enough most of my mates can't be bothered with fantasy football. Clearly they have better things to be doing with their time than i do.

            I take FF as serious as i wana beat my mates and thats the bottom line. After that i will have a keg...and as mentionned this morn i am guna throw a random £4.0mill guy in as captain in last week just to annoy them.
