The final batch of Premier League fixtures before another international break, has three games closing out Gameweek 11. Not the biggest box office attractions on offer today it has to be said, but the Dugout Discussion is open for business regardless.

We start at Molineux with a tussle between two sides with the worst current form in the league, as Wolves play host to Wigan. With just a solitary point between them in their last six games, it’s no surprise to see them threatening the wrong end of the table. Here is the team news for the game that already qualifies for “six-pointer” status…

Wolves XI: Hennessey, Stearman, Johnson, Berra, Ward, Edwards, Henry, Guedioura, Hunt, O’Hara, Doyle.

Wigan XI: Al Habsi, Boyce, Gohouri, Figueroa, Alcaraz, Watson, Moses, Diame, Jones, Di Santo, Rodallega.

Mick McCarthy names an unchanged eleven from their trip the Etihad Stadium, whilst Roberto Martinez makes two changes from the side that lost to Fulham last week. Gary Caldwell is suspended so Steve Gohouri starts, and Franco Di Santo is preferred to Albert Crusat.

Then it’s down the M1 to Craven Cottage for a London derby between Fulham and Tottenham and, not televised, there’s a rematch of the 2011 FA Cup semi-final between Bolton and Stoke City going on.

Keep track of all the action as it happens in our Dugout Discussion chatroom.

      I can't decide whether to spend big bucks on a defender like Vermaelen, Jones or Santos, go for a cheapie like Olsson or McAuley or get Jagielka for Everton coverage? I am not too keen on Wilkinson, though as Stoke haven't impressed in defence. Mosesand Surman to Brunt and Sess sound good, I will be doing Petrov to Brunt, Sess, Rodwell or Drenthe.

          O'Hara 2 assists, Watson's missed pen would count as a shot on target.

          Man i swear ur constantly drunk... just cant type for shit ha! So happy no one hhas him tbh, and all the people above me have stoke defenders so im quids in. I have gone up 2 places already this weekend in my league, gonna be going up more today hopefully with VDV + Adebayor (in which the people above me havent got). And I should be getting more BPs then the peeps too!

          Walters wont score in midfield haha 😉 I hope.

            haha!! i know yeah, i think im gonna type at granny speed from now on, its already paying off.

            Yeah im happy nobody has him either, hardly anyone in my mini league has stoke defenders neither. Aw god i hope VDV has a brace today, would propel me into 4th position from way behind in 7th, even so, 20 points from walters, VDV, & BAE combined would get me there, nobody has VDV and only 2 people in my league has RVP so good stuff. Yup, BP's on the way also i reckon defo.

            I dont mind if Walters doesn't get one, just an assist would do me if nothing at all.

            Haha yeah it messed up last night, i called it a night as i was at gym at 10 this morning anyway 🙂 Typing slower agrees with my keyboard lol.

    I will be watching the International week very closely as seriously considering using my wildcard.
    Am I better to do it now and get the price changes.

          Pretty sure Dzeko won't play next game after his 2 internationals. Mancini didn't play him last International break and he had just scored his 4 against Spurs, so I wouldn;t be in a rush to transfer him in. He's always been in my team and plenty of people transferring him in is damn good for me but he'll be on my bench next GW (probably!!)

    I'm starting to see the point of owning Ferguson. It would save so much frustration...

    Not convinced by Stoke at all now on this kind of form, don't care if they're at home next 2 games. Got to go with the form.

      I had nearly given up on Sessegron , then he fired up bigtime.
      Nearly gave up on Ward , then this week he scored

      Im keeping Moses, most weeks he on my bench anyway . Obviously
      if i knew he wouldnt get any points for weeks on end i would of sold ages ago.
      But fact is he quite lively despite the lack of points , one day he will come good.
      Besides their not many alternatives at his price
