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.

    Vorm squeezing in with a save point at the end leaves me on 64 with Studge and Ade to go.

    If Jones is ruled out of the BD game, would this be worth a 4 point hit?

    Jones, Brown & Suarez -> J Evans, Caulker & Rooney

      Suarez vs Blackburn 'could' produce goals. Or it could produce plenty of shots against the post.

        Can't understand how anyone still even gambles on Suarez after a season of being 'unlucky'.

          Yeah I got rid of him ages ago. You can only call someone 'unlucky' so many times. After so long it stops being unlucky and actually starts becoming a player that just can't finish. The post is not the goal.

          same boat.

          I'm thinking Hernandez/Rooney/Sturridge/Adebayor... In that order.

He has BAE and Ade to go, I've got Bale, Walker and Ade to go (if any of them play) 🙁 On a works Xmas do with him tomorrow too, it's gonna be nailbiting, although with a 101 point advantage over him going into tonight it could have been worse!

      Cheers Demi makes it an easy transfer for me this week after thinking I didn't need to change my team! Further weakens the United defence, and a switch to an arsenal defender does not look appealing (no full backs).

      Nani totally ripped it up. Giggs was world class. Valencia looks like a lock in the United lineup going forward. Rooney was lucky to score, but played well linking play, deserved his goal. Berbatov is just pure class and skill, hands down the most underrated striker alive.
