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.

    apologies for the timing of this post, not being mean, he's my skysports captain so i'm a bit gutted too:

    "cazorla has had the most shots of any midfelder this season."
    he's also had only 2 shots on target from inside the area in 6 matches.

    Giroud has missed a few but hes movement is much much better than lumbering Podolski. I think if both were on form, Giroud will be the better player
