A packed Wednesday night of Premier League action sees no fewer than eight teams take to the field. With fantasy points galore on offer (hopefully), the Dugout Discussion opens to watch then roll in. The team news from all four games is in…

Wigan XI: Al Habsi, Alcaraz, Caldwell, Figueroa, Boyce, McCarthy, McArthur, Beausejour, Moses, Di Santo, Maloney.

Man Utd XI: De Gea, Jones, Ferdinand, Evans, Evra, Valencia, Giggs, Carrick, Young, Rooney, Hernandez.

The champions travel to the DW Stadium looking to cement their position at the top, and make three changes to their starting line-up. Rafael, Paul Scholes and Danny Welbeck all may way, with Phil Jones, Ryan Giggs and Javier Hernandez coming in. The hosts are unchanged.

Man City XI: Hart, Richards, Kompany, Lescott, Clichy, Silva,De Jong, Barry, Nasri, Aguero, Tevez.

West Brom XI: Foster, Jones, Dawson, Olsson, Shorey, Cox, Mulumbu, Scharner, Andrews, Dorrans, Long.

Hoping to pounce on any slip up from United, City name Carlos Tevez amongst their starting line-up for the first time since September. Micah Richards, David Silva and Nigel De Jong also come in. West Brom make five changes, with Liam Ridgwell, Chris Brunt, Gareth McCauley, Peter Odemwingie and Marc Antoine-Fortune all departing.

Wolves XI: Hennessey, Zubar, Stearman, Bassong, Ward, Kightly, Henry, Davis, Edwards, Jarvis, Doyle.

Arsenal XI: Szczesny, Sagna, Vermaelen, Djourou, Santos, Song, Arteta, Ramsey, Benayoun, Walcott, Van Persie.

Sylvan Ebanks-Blake and Stephen Fletcher are dropped by Terry Connor, with David Davis and Kevin Doyle their replacements. As for the Gooners, Johan Djourou, Andre Santos and Aaron Ramsey earn starts.

QPR: Kenny, Onuoha, Ferdinand, Hill, Taiwo, Mackie, Barton, Diakite, Buzsaky, Taarabt, Zamora.

Swansea: Vorm, Rangel, Caulker, Williams, Taylor, Sigurdsson, Britton, Allen, Routledge, Graham, Sinclair.

For the slightly later (and televised) 8pm kick-off, Mark Hughes welcomes Joey Barton and Bobby Zamora back in to the starting eleven, having missed the 2-0 defeat at Old Trafford on Sunday. Swansea also recall a couple of big names, with Scott Sinclair and Danny Graham restored to the line-up.

      m looking at the same, him or McClean.

      Would lead an 8 point hit in DGW though to get Jelavic, Baines and VdV/Lamps in.

    Looking at DGW strikers, I'm not so sure Adebayor, Jellyfish, Torres (lol) and Suarez will play both games
    Might just keep it as it is then.

        Well Jelavic was just rested and Everton won 4-0.
        Adebayor might play both but he's honestly not been good, those 2 headed goals vs Swans are misleading I feel, he wasn't looking likely that whole game.

      Jack, care to share your opinion on this one?

      Suarez > Aguero

      or

      Kaboul > Verm

      for next week

        I guess it depends on if Kaboul is fit.
        If so, I'd do the first one as it sets you up better for GW35 (Verm has Chelsea, Kaboul has QPR) and 36 (Kaboul DGW, Suarez might not play both)

      Yeah it's not looking that exciting for the DGW after all. The teams eliminated from the FA Cup might be more appealing as they won't have a final to rest up for but even still the games are Sat/Sun and Mon/Tue.

      Pienaar is cup tied so I think i'm getting him in for a punt.

          If u asking about the double I think I've decided who is gonna be my Che player. Cech. He is the only one nailed on to play both. I am scared that even Terry with the last injuries could be rested.
