The FA Cup affected Gameweek 34 swings into action with title challengers Manchester City facing a stern test at Carrow Road. The Dugout Discussion opens for what will surely be an eventful day, with one eye on the Premier League and one eye on the goings on at Wembley (and also perhaps Aintree). The team news from our early kick-off is in, and the line-ups are as follows…

Norwich XI: Ruddy, Martin, Ward, Ryan Bennett, Drury, Elliott Bennett, Howson, Johnson, Pilkington, Holt, Wilbraham

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

The Canaries name an unchanged side from their successful trip to White Hart Lane, and Pablo Zabaleta in for Micah Richards is City’s only alteration.

After the title race has either heated up or died down, we’ve got another three Premier League games to enjoy. The almost relegated Wolves take a trip to the Stadium of Light, fellow strugglers Blackburn travel to Swansea, and West Brom host QPR, another side looking to avoid the drop.

Follow all the action as it unfolds in our Dugout Discussion chatroom, which is open and can be accessed right here.

    I figure Surman might only get 1bonus point at best being on the losing side. So that will be 1 point for sub appearance, 5 for goal scored and at most 1 bonus.
    So I need Caulker + Sess to score more then 7 between to make a profit this week. It's not all bad.

        No I didn't its just that I was wondering for ages should I keep Surman in for 34 since he may start/may not start.
        Turns out I should have been more worried about Young for ma utd!

    I made a big mistake this week. My team is

    Vorm

    Assou-Ekotto Shawcross Evans J

    Dempsey Walcott Sessegnon(C) Sigurdsson

    Cisse Rooney Van Persie

    And my subs (in order): Simpson, Hibbert and SURMAN!

    I really need to know if Surman is going to come in!! I kinda feel he might not cos there always has to be 3 defenders. How will this work because only one of my defenders is playing this week. So does this mean the team will field 5 defenders and then Surman, or what?
