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.

      I don't know why people keep saying he's nailed on, all you've got to do is look through Richards + Zab history and realise Zab will play the odd game.

    I would like your opinion on this.

    Setting the price value of a player aside who will get more points for Sunderland by the end of the season starting from GW 26 - McClean or Sessegnon?

      The only striker on the bench, so will probably come on. Only forced injuries to defenders, or winning by 2+ goals margin over 45min might prevent him from playing a few mins

      On the bench.

      My Round 8 Cup game just got interesting.

      Me - 30 pts + Aguero + Richards(Taiwo to sub if Micah doesnt come on).

      Rival - 18pts + Aguero + Silva + Kompany!!!!

      (A goal for SIlva or Kompany will break my heart).
