The first midweek Gameweek of the season starts with two games where Premier League survival is the ultimate goal. There’s still an hour before the Gameweek 17 deadline, but the Dugout Discussion swings it’s doors open nice and early for tonight’s games…

Relatively high-flying Norwich travel to Molineux to face a Wolves side perilously close to the relegation zone. Although there’s an eight place gulf between the sides, anything but a home win against Norwich – who will be viewed as eventual fellow candidates for the drop – would constitute as a failure.

Mid-December is normally too soon for clubs struggling for points to begin to worry but, for Blackburn Rovers and Bolton Wanderers, a loss tonight would ensure mass hysteria. To say both managers’ jobs are on the line pending this game’s outcome, might not be that far off the mark.

That bottom-off-the-table scrap at Ewood Park is the televised game tonight, but you can follow all of the action in our Dugout Discussion chatroom.

    had surman to start the year, when i saw he was getting regular starts lately at 4.3, was going to bring him in this week, as bench fodder to be fair. I would have looked a genius. Oh well. Now everyone looking to upgrade elsewhere will use him as a way to free up funds. Hopefully Norwich go back to rotating heavily and Surman becomes dead weigh, no offense to the chap.

    The Independent Regulatory Commission announced its decision on 20 December 2011, which is as follows:

    Mr Suarez used insulting words towards Mr Evra during the match contrary to FA Rule E3(1);
    the insulting words used by Mr Suarez included a reference to Mr Evra's colour within the meaning of Rule E3(2);
    Mr Suarez shall be warned as to his future conduct, be suspended for eight matches covering all first team competitive matches and fined the sum of £40,000;
    the [penalty] is suspended pending the outcome of any appeal lodged by Mr Suarez against this decision.

    I would assume Suarez won't appeal and the appeal period will be left to expire which gives owners a few weeks. The problem is less informed FPL players will read "8MATCHBAN!!" and ship him straight out meaning anyone holding on could lose value.

    for completely selfish reasons, happy with suarez news, hve no liverpool coverage outside of enrique, chose to double up on chelsea and spurs for next few weeks, only concern was pools fixtures. but with suarez out, i think it lowers their overall attack down a peg, and having no pool is an easier pill to swallow.
