We’ve got six Premier League games to enjoy today, starting with five 3pm games before Manchester City have the chance to extend their lead at the top of the league. The Dugout Discussion returns, and we’ve got all the team news for the games kicking-off shortly…

Bolton: Bogdan, Steinsson, Wheater, Ream, Ricketts, Reo-Coker, Muamba, Sanli, Pratley, Miyaichi, Ngog.

Frank Lampard starts as captain today for Chelsea, and Ashley Cole returns at left-back. For the visitors, Tuncay Sanli and Ryo Miyaichi hold on to starting roles.

Sunderland: Mignolet, Bardsley, Turner, O’Shea, Richardson, Larsson, Cattermole, Gardner, Colback, McClean, Sessegnon.

    I will be honest, I am pretty happy with this gw so far. Aguero(c) and 18 pts from 6 players , looks like a very decent score when I compare it to most of the people on the site currently.
    I am almost guaranteed to have won the h2h in el nino's cl cup against fuzzy czarbles and am 50pts ahead in my mini-league.
    As for me, if Richards comes in for a 1 minute cameo, it doesn't make a difference, as Taiwo on the bench has just 2 pts.
    So far , so good. Of course please note I am talking all relative here.

      Actually I'm selling him before next GW. If he fails against BB, why on earth would he do anything different against Bolton? I think he's a terrific player, but just not a good value FF prospect, no matter how many stats you throw at me (that are usually based on the first 5 or so games of the season).
