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.

    Typical that this is the sort of week you get in the first round of a cup, the amount of luck you need to win these things is crazy... In the end it was Rooney who made the difference to my opponents team...

    Into the next round! Yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

    Shame about Dzeko playing 1 minute. McClean's 7 points would have made my gameweek decent instead of disappointing.

    Might have to shift Dzecko sooner than planned if he's not even going to play every week when Balotelli is banned and Tevez is in exile.

    a) Ba
    b) Rooney
    c) Dempsey
    d) Silva
    e) RVP
    f) Bale
    g) Kompany

    Have them in that order of preference
