The last day of the gameweek before another International Break dawns. We’ve got four games to get our last fantasy fix on as we open the Dugout Discussion. We start with Bolton playing host to Chelsea.

Bolton have made a whole host of changes from the side that which lost at Arsenal, including Adam Bogdan coming in as goalkeeper. Didier Drogba comes in for the suspended Fernando Torres and Daniel Sturridge is fit enough to face the side he helped so much in the spring of 2011. Team line-ups in full are…

Bolton XI: Bogdan; Steinsson, Boyata, Cahill, Robinson; Gardner, Pratley, Reo-Coker, Petrov; Ngog, K Davies

Chelsea XI: Cech; Bosingwa, Terry, Luiz, Cole; Ramires, Lampard, Meireles; Mata, Drogba, Sturridge

Before this tie finishes we’ll have two of the newly promoted sides facing off against two Europa League combatants as Swansea play host to Stoke and Fulham welcome QPR at three o’clock. All of this will be the pre-cursor to the main event as the big North London Derby kicks off with Spurs playing host to Arsenal. Odds of 33/1 on Emmanuel Adebayor replicating “that” celebration. He wouldn’t, would he?

We’ll be here through all of it, come what may.

    What's the thinking on future playing time for Sturridge. I considered bringing him in but held off thinking that he would be on the bench 50% of the time. Will he be a more regular fixture in the team now?

        He didn't actually do too bad at Old Trafford to be fair. We had high hopes for him when he first joined but then he had a stint filling in at full back and was awful there.

      I have Drogba as well, I think he is worth keeping, could do with regular game time and he hasn't really done anything wrong. Sturridge could have passed it several times to Drogba where he would have had an easy shot at goal
