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.

    Genuinely considered Osman, may be one for the double.

      Since Rodwell's secret rib injury was actually really bad, Osman is worth considering.

      Indeed. More tempting than Drenthe who I don't think will start at the Lane given Moyes' recent comments

          He mentioned Drenthes lacking defensive abilites that will see his gametime suffer in away matches, especially against the better teams

    Starting to notice that Man City don't need Silva in the easy games an he can be sacrificed quite easily. He seems to be vital in the big games and is often the difference in the tight matches.

      He had 1 shot off target. yellow card (stupid ref), and only scored from the spot which apparently is not very useful for PPI. He might get 1/2. I hope he takes all 3bps.

        I wasn't a long suffering Drenthe owner as I only got him in this week, but I understand their pain. That he started was great news in itself, that he got an assist could be the start of a long run including DGW, got to be bonus there too in a low scoring game, so keeping a CS and say 1 bonus will knock him up to 7 which is better than most mids did today.
