Sunday’s edition of the Dugout Discussion rolls into action just before the first game of the day kicks-off. The non-televised Midlands derby between West Bromwich Albion and Wolverhampton Wanderers serves as our starter before the three-course football feast goes to Emirates for Arsenal versus Sunderland, and then finally to St. James’ Park as Newcastle United host Tottenham Hotspur.

The team news for the day’s opener is in, and here are the line-ups…

West Brom XI: Foster, Reid, Olsson, McAuley, Jones, Brunt, Mulumbu, Scharner, Thomas, Long, Tchoyi.

Wolves XI: Hennessey, Stearman, Berra, Johnson, Ward, Jarvis, Milijas, O’Hara, Henry, Hammill, Doyle.

Our predicted line-ups haven’t faired too well here it has to be said, with the home side naming only naming Nicky Shorey, James Morrision, Graham Dorrans and Peter Odemwingie on the substitutes bench.

Fewer surprises in the visitors line-up, with only David Edwards and Stephen Hunt not playing as predicted, with Nenad Milijas and Adam Hamill slotting into midfield.

So join me in the Dugout Discussion, where you’ll find me slowly rocking in the corner, praying that I can improve my miserable total of 11 points. I have just three players yet to play.

    What a goal that would have been from Arshavin.

    Re the Larsson debate higher up the page, he also got a yellow card in the Carling Cup..I presume that counts too and therefore he is suspended? Or is a Prem League suspension only PL bookings? Anybody know?

      If the suspension can be cleared in the Cup, e.g. Adam, the booking in the Cup must be count too. That's my logic.

      PL, CC and FA Cup.

      Lucas has 4 yellow in league, 1 in Carling cup which is 5 and so is suspended for next week. Larsson now as well.

        He gave the ball away too much, but he made some incisive runs. Walcott and Arteta have had worse games, IMO.

      You seen the 'assist'? It was a lucky 3 points for nothing really.

      He didn't even start the game. Should prove to be a wise move.
