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.

Akers Richard or Akers, as he is known, has been regularly haunting this site since July 2008. He is young and foolish, take what he says with a pinch of salt. Follow them on Twitter

    Two words.... Hel guson. Best part of 60 points in the last 10 games. And that includes not playing one. Assuming you have rvp plus one other good captain option, helguson is fantasy gold. Oh and less than 2% ownership.

    Bad night to be a QPR fan.

    In the relegation dogfight now.

    Hopefully we can get a result against Swansea on Monday. Feared this would happen as soon as they bought O'Neil in. We always seem to play sh*tty teams immediately after they bring in a new manager, never before. This same thing happened last season as well.

    Oh well, rank p*ss poor defending never helps either. At least we know we'll be getting new Centre backs in the new year.

    Bad bad night for me though, folks.

    Good score in FPl (except for McAuley as 3rd sub!!!) but I'd rather swap that for 3 QPR points right now.
