After a frenetic Deadline Day Tuesday that saw an abundance of big-name moves, such as Nikica Jelavic to Everton (massive), the Dugout Discussion returns to complete Gameweek 23. We’ve got five more Premier League fixtures to pour over tonight, but with most of the big-hitters on show yesterday, fantasy points may be a little thin on the ground.

We start at Villa Park with a slightly earlier kick-off, where Alex McCleish’s side play host Mark Hughes’ Queens Park Rangers. The other four games get under way on the hour, including the televised game at the Stadium of Light between Sunderland and Norwich City (definitely worth watching ahead of Valencia Vs. Barcelona).

There’s also Blackburn Rovers versus Newcastle United, Arsenal travel to the Reebok Stadium to face Bolton Wanderers, and a Bobby Zamora-less Fulham welcome the visit of Roy Hodgson’s West Bromich Albion.

Follow all the action in our Dugout Discussion chatroom, which will remain open until all the dust has settled from what has already been an eventful Gameweek 23.

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

    Vorm, Kelly, Senderos and Richards all losing clean sheets to late goals. Santon on the bench, bad choices but will be happy if Newcastle win 🙂

    - 3 City players fail.
    - RVP(c) fail.
    - Krul & Simpson on the bench fail.
    - Krul saving a penalty fail. 5th penalty save on my bench this season.
    - 9pt backward swing thanks to Fulham conceding fail.

    This gameweek was just saving that extra boot in the balls until the end. 😈

          Fulham just really pissed me off because I built my WC defence around them, so future GWs look buggered. And Toon really piss me off because they seem to have lucked this one, yet another jammy CS, yet another jammy Raylor haul.

            I gave Fulham another chance to prove their home CS and they just failed epically again. That's a keeper and a defender that are potentially useless and I have no more WCs.

      Same as me, except I only have 1 Fulham defender and Dempsey. But Stephen Warnock coming off the bench for me has compensated with a stunning own goal.

      We're 5th on merit, some people really can't take us doing well for a change.

      So Blackburn missed chances, they've done that all season (bar yakubu who wasn't playing today), they're in the relegation zone without their only goalscorer they're hardly gonna score loads are they.

      Face it, we deserve to be where we are.
