There’s not one, but two lunchtime kick-offs in the Premier League today, and the Dugout Discussion chatroom is open and ready for a full day of football. We start at Villa Park in a matter of minutes, whilst the game at the DW Stadium is set to go at half past.

Once the dust has settled from Adel Taarabt announcing himself to the Premier League and Darren Bent scoring the first hattrick of the season, we have a somewhat meagre offering of just three 3 p.m. fixtures…

Blackburn and Everton do battle at Ewood Park, each side desperate for their first league point of the campaign. Swansea host Sunderland, who will both fancy their chances of earning a first win of the season. And then there’s Fernando Torres, with his belligerent of fantasy owners, all praying he finally nets today at home to the Canaries.

Finally, we’ll be off to Torres’ old stomping ground Anfield, where Liverpool and Bolton meet in today’s evening game.

All of which can be followed right here, in the Dugout Discussion chatroom.

      Doubt it. QPR had 1 shot v Everton and it went in. Personally, I dont see him doing anything.

    Hoping for Lampard to score big today....Everyone has captained either Rooney or Suarez so looking to shoot up the table with a nice captain choice.

    I'm banking on Heskey getting lots of chances, screwing them all up and Bent feasting on the rebounds.

        Chu-Young. He's on his way to London now.

        Was about to do a medical with Lille today, but didn't turn up.

        If Lille aren't already pissed off enough with us about Gervinho deal & Hazard interest, they're going to be facking fuming now.

            He played at the world cup. Decent enough all-round lone striker, and good with dead-balls.

              oh right. missed most of the world cup apart from those brilliant england group games (this is also my excuse for thinking gervinho was brazilian until last christmas).
              is there a price tag rumoured?
