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.

        And I changed captain from RVP to Baines at last minute. Still need RVP to go ballistic.

        Thank God my rival captained Fellani, whom I got in for a hit.

        Just shows you how much luck there is in this game.

          Yeah, being a city fan it hurts to captain the flying dutchman, but the first rule of FPL is to keep calm and captain RVP...

      Haven't seen it but to quote BBC Sport:

      "Everton are level. Kevin Mirallas' cross from the right is aimed for Nikica Jelavic but deflects of him to present the easiest of finishes for Leon Osman in front of goal. He lashes the ball in and Goodison Park erupts."

      If that's accurate its a Jelly assist.
