With yesterday’s results overshadowed by the now infamous non-handshake at Old Trafford, the Dugout Discussion opens today for what will hopefully be a controversy-free day of football. Having been displaced at the summit of the Premier League, Manchester City travel to Aston Villa where a draw will see them climb back to the top. Before that we have a Black Country derby to enjoy, as Wolves aim to drag their rivals West Brom in to the relegation scrap, and the Baggies try to increase their breathing space from it. The team news is in…

Wolves XI: Hennessey, Foley, Johnson, Bassong, Ward, Doyle, Edwards, O’Hara, Jarvis, Ebanks-Blake, Fletcher.

West Brom XI: Foster, Reid, McAuley, Olsson, Ridgewell, Odemwingie, Morrison, Scharner, Mulumbu, Thomas, Fortune.

Mick McCarthy names an attacking side which features a trio of strikers in Sylvan Ebanks-Blake, Kevin Doyle and Steven Fletcher. For the visitor’s, Liam Ridgewell makes his debut for West Brom at the expense of Nicky Shorey, and Paul Scharner starts ahead of Graeme Dorrans.

You can follow all the action as it happens in our Dugout Discussion chatroom, which can be accessed right here.

      Bin there, done that!
      Was surprised this morning when I found out that the bronze-final wasn't a part of the Fantasy-game, lucky for me though, as I had kept quite a few Ghana-players before that match. Hoping for Ivory Coast to give me one last point boost tonight!

      Because Keane is a good player who has played for about 12 different teams and Heskey is big, black and bad at football so everyone thinks he's a hilarious excuse for a footballer.

      Robbie Keane is a goal scorer and a goal-maker.

      He is also the 17th most prolific international striker in the world (by country) with 53 goals.
