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.

    Do you think it's too much to ask that Rooney progresses from a walk to a jog? I mean only if it's not too much trouble for him.

    My own fault for changing captaincy last minute from RVP to Cisse. I gave into the speculation. Still 1166 place though
