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.

      We get it. You benched players who play this week for the ones that don't play. It's deceiving. Well done.

    Who to sell for Demps?

    Valencia, Walcott, Sess? And here comes the problem, if I see one of them I need to find the second one to go on the bench. If I keep Sess that means he is good on the bench.

    Bale and Siggy are playing

      Ditching Sessegnon here.
      Not sure who I will bench though.

      If you have Bale Siggy Valencia Walcott Sess I'd think twice about bringing Sess in.

      I think it's a case of, if you own Dempsey - keep him, as opposed to buying.

      You have a good midfield.
