Wednesday Dugout Discussion

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.

    Watching the Man City v Stoke game and Richards left the pitch at 59:05, so surely that's 60 minutes as that is the 60th minute?!

      He went off in the 60th minute after playing 59:05. He didn't play 60 so he shouldn't get the points.

        Gambled on the City clean sheet so made him captain!

        But yeah, the 0.01 - .0.59 is 1st minute. 1.01 - 1.59 is the 2nd minute, so the 59.01 to the 59.59 is the 60th minute is it not?

      The fixtures favour Brown and they're odds on to get the same gameweek score.

      What's the problem?

      Plus Wolves are terrible in defence at the moment. You can't rely on Ward's attacking exploits!
