Just the one Premier League to concentrate on this evening, as Blackburn look to battle for points against a Liverpool side desperately looking for a change of fortunes ahead of their FA Cup semi-final with Everton. Our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open to welcome your real-time chatter as the game unfolds.

The team news from Ewood is interesting and somewhat predictable. While Steve Kean tinkers by bringing in Mauro Formica and Marcus Olsson for Morten Gamst-Pedersen and Jason Lowe, his opposite number has a different agenda with the weekend cup tie in mind. Kenny Dalglish rests Steven Gerrard from his squad, whilst Luis Suarez is shifted to the bench, allowing Andy Carroll and Craig Bellamy to start up front. Glen Johnson returns to the side, with a left-back role looking likely as Jose Enrique also makes way. He sits alongside Jamie Carragher and Dan Agger as Sebastian Coates starts alongside Martin Skrtel.

Follow the action on your screens with one eye on our Dugout Discussion chat via this link.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Sky Sports had no right to question Jones' celebration after his penalty save. He's son has passed away from an illness stop making him feel uncomfortable especially live on tv! Chin up Braddy J!

    Oh and Maxi is so underrated.

      Maxi's not underrated - he's underplayed.
      I know he goes missing sometimes but his goals to games ratio is exceptional I don't know why he's not given more oppurtunities.

          You're allowed to disagree. But saying that a post-match interview cannot ask a player about the happenings during a game is daft.

          I see that you're the moral protector of lost souls 🙄

          If he didn't want to be asked, he shouldn't have made any 'celebration' - and asking about it is in no way disrespectful.

            Yes ask about happenings in a match but something like the death of your son should not be bought up. Anyway that's my opinion, each to their own really.

    Well, I think I’ve finally cracked my DGW team

    Mingolet (BOL)

    Baines (FUL, sto) Santon (wig, che) Caulker (WOL)

    VdV, Bale (BLA, bol) Dempsey (eve, liv) Sess (BOL), Siggy (WOL)

    Jelavic (FUL, sto) Cisse (wig, che)

    De Gea, RvP, Verm, Evans

    Only one that might change is VdV to Mata.

    only a 4 point hit needed

    In 37 I can sell Sess to Moses. and 38 Clint to Fat Frank

    I'm leaning towards a right now, but both are great options.

    I just feel I'd want jelavic at home to Wolves, would mean a hit to get as i want to do Sess to Moses in 37 and Clint to Lampard in 38.

      That has always been my thinking going in to this run of fixtures. Some people are obsessed with double gameweeks. Even though there are lots of teams with two games its not worth heavy investment when you look at the fixtures. Added to that the GW34 home games all look good. I can still get 6 or 7 double gameweekers out if I want to

      It depends on the make up of your team. If you have mostly 11 players set up for GW34 then take the 11 in GW 34 approach. If you have heaps missing for GW34 and its too difficult to get 11 players then take the DGW36 approach. There is no right or wrong really, its simply better to do what is best and easiest for your team
