We’re treated to no fewer than eight Premier League games today, as an unpredictable Gameweek six gets underway. The Dugout Discussion opens for the first game of the day – a tasty encounter at the Emirates between title hopefuls Chelsea and Arsenal. Both sides will be looking to inflict a first league defeat on the opposition, and these are the line-ups charged with that task…

Arsenal XI: Mannone, Jenkinson, Kosielny, Vermaelen , Gibbs, Diaby, Arteta, Cazorla, Ramsey, Podolski, Gervinho.

Chelsea XI: Cech, Ivanovic, Cole, Luiz, Terry, Ramires, Mikel, Mata, Oscar, Hazard, Torres.

The visitors make one change from the side that saw off Stoke last week, as skipper John Terry replaces Gary Cahill. Arsenal also make the single change, which influential defender Thomas Vermaelen coming in for Per Mertesacker.

Once proceedings at the Emirates has concluded, we turn our attention to the flurry of six 3pm kick-offs, before settling down for an evening at Old Trafford, where Manchester United welcome the visit of Tottenham Hotspur.

Follow all of today’s action as it unfolds in our Dugout discussion chatroom, which can be accessed right here.

          I agree too, in the system Mertesacker flourishes as he reads the game so well. Would beat Torres to the ball everytime without needing to outsprint him

      I feel a bit sorry for Giroud, he offers something different and gets into the right positions, just needs to be clinical. It's odd because Gervinho has looked both brilliant and terrible at once. If they could combine their strengths they'd be that bit closer to being title contenders.

        Chamakh offered something different at the start too. Honestly have nothing against Giroud but he is struggling at the moment. Gerv is a different story, he's completely insane. One minute he's dribbling like Messi and the next he's sailing it out of the stadium.

    I have just enough cash to do Hazard to Gervinho and Berbs to Torres. Worth it for a hit?

      Gervinho? Hmmmm, strokes imaginary beard.

      Nah, I'd still get Cazorla.

        Have Cazorla already. I know I'm kneejerking but Nando looked sharp today and Gervinho is an extra forward.

    Anyone else thinking Cazorla may not be thr point merchant we hoped? Finishing has been poor.

      And so it begins.

      Cazorlas season so far;
      GW1 - Too soon, relatively unknown
      GW2 - Potential is there but Arsenal can't score
      GW3 - OMFG goal and assist, must have
      GW4 - One assist in a 6-1? No thanks
      GW5 - 7 points vs City you say? Must have.

        Not just based on that one game. His finishing has been poor every time iv seen him. He could be steady points like a silva tho

      he's not really a finisher though, you need to understand that, he takes set pieces and is a playmaker, he will rack up assists and the odd goal.
