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.

    Right seeing as I'll only have to wait 2.75hrs for it as opposed to the normal several hours, I'm stepping away from the TV and computer and attempting the MotD challenge.

        I wish I could have been on this page when that Kolarov bandwagon was raging. At that time I wasn't even member here, but I still got him in at the beginning of the season and after his injury. I had way too much belief in him after looking over his stats from his time in Lazio, and I boasted heavily to my friends that Kolarov would really lift my team to new hights.
