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.

    its funny too thinking back a week or 2 ago some people were
    getting slated for the cheap ruddy/vorm combo to spend the funds elswhere

    you certainly couldnt have lost with that combo this week

    David Platt sounds pretty unconcerned about Aguero's fitness, especially with seven days between games at the minute.

    5Live asking about Tevez playing with Aguero and Silva - Platt doesn't mention any possibility of Tevez not playing - sounds like business as usual...

        Indeed, Moses hitting the bar was really annoying. I thought about getting rid of Sinclair but given fixtures kept him. Definitely looking at Jarvis now though. Wolves seem a lot better than last season, with nice fixtures.

        For what its worth - there is bound to be rotation at Liverpool with Kenny, and the large midfield he has to select from, especially when Gerrard returns. However, Dowling is the only real out and out winger to supply Carrol, so I think he will be exempt and will pretty much play every week.
