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.

    If there was Recovered Balls scoring in FPL, there would have been plenty of points in the Arsenal vs. Chelsea match... There have been some amazing tackles...

      Cazorla has earned points in the last 3 fixtures. He's against one of the best defences on the league, give hom a break. Hazard however, is free to leave my team.

          Olazabel is a muppet, he does his best to keep the english press happy by playing one on the brits in every match. Leaves Harrington at home, Muppet. Granted he only had two WC picks but how Kaymer is there is beyond me, Garcia too. There should only be 7/8 qualify from season scoring averages and two from recent form, then a couple maybe 3 wc picks.

            Kaymer wasn't a wildcard. Colsearts and Poulter were and you can't have issue with them.

          He won that free kick on the edge of the area then took it himself... he's looking look a good source of points

          Hazard has been anonymous all game
