The Saturday Dugout Discussion opens to see a hugely significant relegation battle between Bolton Wanderers and Queens Park Rangers. As two of the bottom five clubs, where three appear certainly doomed, three points in this lunchtime kick-off will be fiercely contested for. The team news for the game is in, are the line-ups are as follows…

Bolton XI: Bogdan, Steinsson, Wheater, Ream, Ricketts, Reo-Coker, Mark Davies, Pratley, Miyaichi, Ngog, Petrov.

QPR XI: Kenny, Onuoha, Ferdinand, Hill, Traore, Barton, Diakite, Derry, Wright-Phillips, Cisse, Zamora.

The home side bring in Martin Petrov in a more attacking line-up, with Zak Knight making way. There’s another start for the impressive on-loan Ryo Miyachi.

As for the visitors, they welcome back Djibril Cisse and Samba Diakite from suspension and name them in their starting eleven. Cisse partners Bobby Zamora upfront.

After that we’ve another five Premier League games to enjoy, ending up at Goodison Park where Everton begin their double against Harry’s Spurs.

The Dugout Discussion chatroom will remain open throughout the day, and can be accessed right here.

          You have to remember people were saying Arsenal were going to be relegated after the 8-2 defeat, and here they are breathing down Tottenham's neck with good fixtures ahead? In terms of next six ahead, Arsenal's next six have the fourth lowest goals for and the third highest goals against. Tottenham's next six meanwhile have one of the lowest goals against, and Tottenham haven't scored in how many matches now?

      I know this is going to out one ear and out the other but hear it out. I remember right before the England-USA WC game, they were interviewing Donovan and they were basically like, you know you don't stand a good chance right? and he responds "man to man, you're right they are a better team but this team [US Men's National Team] is greater than the sum of its parts.

      I think that's England's problem in a nutshell. You guys have this awful habit of just putting together that year's hotshots and that decades icon's and just expecting to tear it up. You can complain all you want about how lucky Dempsey's goal was, but after scoring in four minutes, there is no excuse for blowing it. You need a manager that can actually handle big personalities and doesn't pick up that year's hot item #Walcottat17.
