We’ve got six Premier League games to enjoy today, starting with five 3pm games before Manchester City have the chance to extend their lead at the top of the league. The Dugout Discussion returns, and we’ve got all the team news for the games kicking-off shortly…

Bolton: Bogdan, Steinsson, Wheater, Ream, Ricketts, Reo-Coker, Muamba, Sanli, Pratley, Miyaichi, Ngog.

Frank Lampard starts as captain today for Chelsea, and Ashley Cole returns at left-back. For the visitors, Tuncay Sanli and Ryo Miyaichi hold on to starting roles.

Sunderland: Mignolet, Bardsley, Turner, O’Shea, Richardson, Larsson, Cattermole, Gardner, Colback, McClean, Sessegnon.

    Unless you've got double Newcastle defensive coverage that goal is irrelevant.

    Bit of help on this one much appreciated guys.

    Any transfers I make in the next 3 weeks I want it to benefit the upcoming skeleton fixtures of GW29. I remember the good post a couple of days ago (can't remember who) regarding the lack of concrete fixtures but commenting on the potential midweek games which may fall into GW29.

    Taiwo is coming out leaving me £5.2 to spend but I want to bring in a defender who will definitely have a fixture in GW29 and not try and guess who might be playing.

    Fulham v Swansea
    Wigan v West Brom
    Wolves v Man United
    Newcastle v Norwich
    Man City v Chelsea

    Already have Kompany, Evans, Santon, Kelly.

    So with the above fixtures in mind and £5.2 to spend who would you bring in?
