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…

Chelsea: Cech, Ivanovic, Cahill, Luiz, Cole, Ramires, Essien, Lampard, Sturridge, Drogba, Mata

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.

West Brom: Foster, Reid, McAuley, Olsson, Ridgewell, Andrews, Mulumbu, Morrison, Odemwingie, Fortune, Thomas.

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

Roy Hodgson plays Peter Odemwingie on the flank as expected, and Martin O’Neil goes without Niklas Bendtner and Frazier Campbell.

Wolves: Hennessey, Zubar, Berra, Stearman, Ward, Foley, Henry, Edwards, O’Hara, Jarvis, Doyle.

Newcastle welcome back Ryan Taylor, Yohan Cabaye and Cheick Tiote to their starting line-up. Terry Connor rings in the changes for his first game in charge, with defence the area biggest hit.

Fulham: Schwarzer, Kelly, Hughes, Hangeland, John Arne Riise, Ruiz, Murphy, Dembele, Dempsey, Pogrebnyak, Johnson.

Mark Hughes gives Samba Diakite his QPR debut, and Andy Johnson replaces Damian Duff fr Martin Jol’s Fulham.

Aston Villa: Given, Hutton, Collins, Cuellar, Warnock, Agbonlahor, Gardner, Keane, Bannan, Albrighton, Bent.

The home side are unchanged from the victory last time out, and Villa name Robbie Keane amongst their starters for the final time this season.
