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.

    Adam Johnson the best super-sub since Solskjaer?

      Solskjaer came on and won Utd games. Adam Johnson only comes on when the game is over.

    So Aguero for a hit has paid off but he deserved more didn't he,played so well two stunning strikes, hit the post, gave the assist for the assist for the last goal.
    And Tevez steals the show with three strikes all caused by mistakes.
    Could had been so much better.
    Wish Sess(C) rounds off a fruitfull day here.

      Before the game Aguero hadn't scored away from home in the league since October and Rooney has a very good home record. Also Rooney hasn't played yet and could do better than Aguero so it still may be a bad transfer.

            I get what you're saying. Its typical after such a big result for City.

            That said, I (like many) was already contemplating shifting Rooney for A.Nother for the dgw.. but with Wolves next up for an apparently rejuvenated City.. I understand the excitement.

            Wolves have already given up. Could be a massive score against them.

          Thanks.

          I've been saying for weeks that Tevez could be a great option from GW33. Bought him in Monday morning and 26 points so far (assuming 3 baps for today). Great to see it pay off.

        Was the logical decision. Hasn't proven to be the wrong one yet.
