There’s only one televised Premier League fixture today, but with blockbuster games kicking off earlier at Carrow Road and Molineux, we’ve opened the Dugout Discussion chatroom so you can pour over all of today’s action.

We’re at Carrow road first, where Norwich City shortly begin their home campaign. They come up against a Stoke City side perhaps a little worse for wear after their midweek Europa League venture. Half an hour later, Fulham (another team having to cope with extra European commitments) travel up to face Mick McCarthy’s Wolves.

After that, it’ll be time to tune in to watch Gary and Jamie set-up a potential cracker between Bolton and Man City, with both sides looking to top the table.

So join us in the Dugout Discussion, which will stay open throughout the day to soak up your views on the action.

        My bench is Moses, De Laet and Enrique - no prizes for guessing which one was sub no 1 :-/

        Kompany and Yaya getting injured in warm up would be good!!

        I did a last minute switch and put De Laet on the bench.
        I played Kompany instead! 🙁
        I had him starting all week! Fingers crossed for a warm-up injury on Kompany 🙂

      I wish! I have him on my bench as a cheap defender. I had to choose between him at home or Komapny away. It was a close call but I just had to go with Man City defence compared to newly promoted and very attacking Norwich. Add this to the rest of my bench (Vorm and Simpson) and I'm having a nightmare!

        I don't think it's close at all. It's Norwich. It's Kompany. It's bad for a lot of us because the rational choices haven't paid off.

        Who'd have guessed Simpson would score 12 point against Arsenal and Sunderland? No one. That would have been an irrational decision.
