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.

    Getting involved with the Adebayor chatter, I WILL stick with him. My frontline is RVP, Suarez and Adebayor. Will most likely do Suarez > Rooney when Utd's CMs are back. Have been looking at Aguero but even with his undoubted quality, his gametime is a real concern. With RVP, Rooney and Adebayor, you have 3 nailed on strikers playing in (other than Utd at present) free-scoring teams.

      i would rather have Suarez over Adebayor, probably would avoid both actually but if its a choice then suarez.

      Ade is too lazy and can go for several game doing nothing. He always turns it on when he wants to (which isnt often enough), good player, terrible attitude
