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.

      if you're buying for bench, get tiote, should play till ACN, and it will be wild card time then anyway. and he might get a few points, never know.

    I should probably suck it up and buy Silva soon - not had him all season but I've finally managed to claw back a bit of a lead on my rival, so i'm not so much out for differentials. That said I reckon Mata/VDV might be better options for the next few weeks. Will be watching Drenthe with interest tonight.
