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.

    F*ck you Surman. Why did I get Saha in for a week long punt only to bench Jarvis. F*CK.

      Why did you bench a 6.0 over a 4.5?

      It was arguably an easier fixture too. Shame on you...

      not sure about vorm, for example he didn't get a save point so made <3 saves, depends how highly they weight a penalty save. you could argue a penalty save is reward in itself.
      not sure about suarez either, you'd like to think 3 of liverpool's midfielders or defence did more in 90 mins than suarez did in 20

      So far I can take solace in that my low-scoring team did so when most other teams are happy to reach the 30's(!)... I really need Sergio to have an off day though, even if it spites my Draft team.

      Otherwise I'm going to be severely tempted to play wildcard # 3 in a row, even though I'd make about 2 changes. *Must hold firm!*

        I'm keeping Torres. Mad to get rid when he's home to Norwich.

        I honestly think the only reason he got subbed yesterday was because Anelka scored. Otherwise le sulk would have gotten the ax.

        I really think he's first choice and I'm happy enough that he isn't my first priority to sub out this week, and isn't worth spending four points to get rid of.

      Was going to get him in, and (c) him.

      So glad i went with Bent instead, added etherington instead of him but then walters takes his penalty.

      debate over it, he definitely passed to doyle but there may be some deflections involved in doyle's dribble. if he deserves one he'll get it

    Just came home and saw that Walters missed a penalty... Also got rid of De Laet last minute and Simpson last substitute.

        he's a good full back and plays in a very solid team......rotation may apply but surely no need after just 1 game.

        Well at least Haangaland comes in for him 🙁

        Disagree. Lescott has more goal threat than Kompany. Richards can get a couple of assists as well. However, Kompany is their No. 1 defender so when Kolo Toure returns, he'll displace Lescott.
