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.

        But I have Baines and Fellaini. Confused.com

        I might sell Fellaini and buy Jelavic this week in a crazy move.

          It's damn knee jerkish, but I am considering doing something similar with Piennar....Fellaini still had a few shots that hit the bar, but I'd be better off with players who are at the focal point of their team's attack.

        True.

        What is your job at Amazon? I only ask because my brother works on the software for Ocado, (grocery delivery using a highly automated packing factory), and I thought you might be doing similiar for Amazon, especially as they bought automisation hardware recently.

    Which would you say was the more pressing transfer out, nasri or papiss cisse?

    Would probably get sahin or suarez?

    Could do both for a hit, but wouldn't want 2 Liverpool players, 1's usually a gamble
