We have four matches on this evening’s agenda as Gameweek 26 gets up and running. Cardiff welcome Villa to Wales as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side prepare for a run of three home games in four – the Bluebirds will have to do without Craig Bellamy, though, after he decided against appealing a three-match ban for violent conduct.

Elsewhere, Hull and Southampton go head to head at the KC, with Steve Bruce’s side looking to curtail the attacking talents of Adam Lallana, Jay Rodriguez and Rickie Lambert. Tigers new boys Shane Long and Nikica Jelavic both grabbed a goal apiece against Sunderland and will be hoping to prosper against a Saints backline devoid of the injured Dejan Lovren.

West Ham entertain Norwich at Upton Park in the other 7.45pm kick-off. Kevin Nolan is looking to continue the form that has seen him bag braces in each of his last two appearances, though Norwich have three clean sheets in four and make their way to London having nullified the threat of City at Carrow Road last Saturday.

The final match to get underway takes place at the Hawthorns. West Brom welcome league leaders Chelsea, with Eden Hazard carrying the armband hopes of plenty after his scintillating hat-trick against Newcastle at the weekend.

As always, our Dugout Discussion chatroom will support your real-time banter requirements throughout this evening’s matches.

    Here is why I hate Chavski and there fans in the 80s they chavs were so racist towards black players and even their own that they made league tables excluding goals that black players had scored in the league and even if a black person scored for them they wouldn't count it and back then they would not be able to fill a stadium with 20,000 capacity because they were that small back then and they were the equivalent of Wigan now. But when money bags comes along and buys them trophies and more people support them cause they had money it's annoying cause they are all plastic especially when everyone hated the shite out of them.
