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.

        Arteta missed a couple towards the end of last season and Moyes actually said Baines would be taking over. That is why I'm not particularly happy right now. Baines will stay for the next two games for me, but after that I can't afford to have an 8mill defender in an average - at best - side when he doesn't take pens. Downgrading.

          Arteta missed one against Wigan (30 of April). Then subbed off in 66´ and Baines scored his penalty in the 78´.
          That´s the only miss Arteta has in 2011.

    I reckon he's got the same amount of points as Given, if not 1 or 2 more due to making more saves.

    Every single defender that has played, and finished on my bench at the end of the gameweek, has kept a clean sheet so far this season.

    Week 1: Given, Bramble, Givet
    Week 2: Vorm, Williams, Simpson
    Week 3: Vorm, Williams, Brown

    Tekkers.
