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.

      Same here, but I bet you have good midfielders who will probably score you a ton of points over the course of the season.

      It doesn't happen every week, football doesn't work like that unfortunately. But I'm sure there will be gw's when our mids kill it for points and others when they don't.

          Absolutely foolish move. Played well against Everton and was purely unlucky not to get a goal in that match. Today he was up against one of the toughest defences in the league. Both will be home matches for him too. I think it's a very foolhardy move.

    Soooooooooo....

    I fookin HATE THIS GAME sometimes. supposed to be fun, yet it's more frustrating than anything most the time (until the end of the season when I win my leaguess).

    Anyway.......my mate brought in Suarez and captained him!!!! He ALSO has Ba....almost 60pts from 2 players FFSSSSSS!!

    He has Sterling and Cameron(c.s Stoke) and since Cuellar didn't play he will have triple West Ham coverage and potentially 18pts there at least.

    As for me....Baines got my capt vote 🙁 Fletcher a goal ok ok 🙂 HBA...Yaya...PIenaar..:( errrrrrrrrghhh
