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.

      People that have scored 4 in a match in recent years (post Solksjaer) have been pretty inconsistent types - Arshavin, Saha, Yakubu, Berbatov, Dzeko...

    I don't understand what all the fuss is about Suarez. You judge a striker by his goal scoring record, and his is poor at Liverpool. End of. Better with Jelavic.

    Most likely 4 of Suarez's ban will be cup games (Carling Cup semis and 3rd and 4th round (probably) of FA Cup) so will only miss 4 PL games.
