After last night’s double dose of Premier League action, Wednesday brings us no fewer than seven games to enjoy. The Dugout Discussion is open for business and is the perfect place to follow all the action as it unfolds…

The race for Christmas number one will be decided tonight, with league leaders Manchester City just needing a point at home to Stoke City to maintain their position at the top over the festive period. Any slip-up and city rivals Manchester United will be looking to pounce, as they visit the capital to face Fulham.

Setting their sights slightly lower are Champions League spot contenders Arsenal and Liverpool, who are both on the road tonight. The Gunners visit Villa Park and The Reds travel to the DW Stadium.

Elsewhere, the other team in Merseyside host Swansea at Goodison Park, Newcastle United welcome the visit of Roy Hodgson’s West Brom, and Sunderland make the long trip down to Loftus Road to play QPR.

We’re tweeting all the team news as it trickles, so come and take a seat in the Dugout Discussion chatroom to digest the emerging news.

    What's the story with Jones' injury? Was it impact / hamstring / bad landing or what?

      head injury, doesn't seem likely it'll impact the next game.

    Nani like RVP is an all season keeper, dunno why so many ever transferred him out.

        I've had him all season. It's easy, he showed what he can do last year, and he's been steady this year.

        I agree, smart move was to take him out and then bring him in once he showed scoring form again

        Him and United were in temporary bad form, it was never going to just continue like that for the rest of the season. VDV was a must-have too of course.

      he most certainly isn't

      the people who smashed it last year knew exactly when to take Nani out. he's a form player and there are always points in the season where he drops down the pecking order

      Rooney tends to play like this now, he's always playing behind the other striker helping play move along.

      Protection doesn't kick in until the red or yellow flag is removed, then they are protected for 10 days or something like that. This season has been slightly different so I am not sure if I a completely correct saying that, can anyone else confirm?
