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.

    For the love of christ, here's my trail of thought tonight.

    No Helguson, Warnock first sub, that's alright I guess
    Oop, there goes Warnock's clean sheet
    2-0? Great, I bet it was a Warnock own goal the way this is going.
    Warnock own goal, why? Just what was I thinking?
    Newcastle goal, hope Ben Arfa was involved.
    God dammit Raylor, and my foolish rivals who still have him over Simpson or Santon.
    Sessegnon scores, why on Earth haven't I signed him yet? Oh yeah, I went for Moses so I could afford Aguero.
    Blackburn penalty, at least this will justify having Krul and Santon on my bench......
    #@@#@?$$#%!!!!!
