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 have been considering him for a while as you know. It's just whether I take -4 for him this week, or wait 1 week. Or play the wc.

      U think? Maybe a fan overreacting. Hazard owner here. Got him for a hit and he hasn't done nothing for me so far. And I can't believe when he had a blank week he got almost triple rise. everybody were knee jerking I can't believe what happened.

      And Bale scored and assist and 6 BP in mean time. So bad decision.

    If you believe Gervinho will stay OOP CF by all means get him in.

    Short term he may well, and I reckoned he was a good differential last week based on the Southampton and City games. I do know you will spend every game in doubt though, wondering if the CF is Giroud / Podolski / Gervinho / ... Walcott. I don't fancy that.

    Don't get sucked in by 45 minutes of football... and DON'T plan Cazorla > Gervinho switches before the match is even finished. Bloody hell!

    My team looks great for next week, I figure 10/11 valid captain choices (excluding Clyne).
    Benching Kagawa next week.
    I am thinking about transferring Kagawa out for Gervinho but that will leave me with an annoying selection headache.
    I figure I can save a transfer this week and get Gervinho in for Hazard after Chelsea play Norwich.
    First time in three weeks I won't have to take a 4 point penalty.

    Am I the the only one who thinks its time to jump off the hazard wagon?
