The Saturday Dugout Discussion opens to see a hugely significant relegation battle between Bolton Wanderers and Queens Park Rangers. As two of the bottom five clubs, where three appear certainly doomed, three points in this lunchtime kick-off will be fiercely contested for. The team news for the game is in, are the line-ups are as follows…

Bolton XI: Bogdan, Steinsson, Wheater, Ream, Ricketts, Reo-Coker, Mark Davies, Pratley, Miyaichi, Ngog, Petrov.

QPR XI: Kenny, Onuoha, Ferdinand, Hill, Traore, Barton, Diakite, Derry, Wright-Phillips, Cisse, Zamora.

The home side bring in Martin Petrov in a more attacking line-up, with Zak Knight making way. There’s another start for the impressive on-loan Ryo Miyachi.

As for the visitors, they welcome back Djibril Cisse and Samba Diakite from suspension and name them in their starting eleven. Cisse partners Bobby Zamora upfront.

After that we’ve another five Premier League games to enjoy, ending up at Goodison Park where Everton begin their double against Harry’s Spurs.

The Dugout Discussion chatroom will remain open throughout the day, and can be accessed right here.

          Depends on the make up of the team. I reckon Klasnic and Davies in a 442 worked really well. Davies does the fighting for about 5 people, and Klasnic has enough finishing for the both of em.

              You'll be comforted by the fact that Ryo was coming in for McClean until Kompany decided to have a calf fail.

              I'll have nothing to complain about if Graham does indeed smash Ba. Bold and differential call on your part.

                I wanted to do Graham to Straq as a crazy punt for a hit, but 0.2 short. Not unhappy with Graham though to be fair, he has done me great since I got him.

    Belha Nadaliste - I get that you saw Kelly was red flagged and assumed he wouldn't play but is that not all the more reason to bench a player and make him your 3rd sub than start him?

    And why take the risk with a player like Rooney and not someone like McClean?

          Had a passing accuracy of 91% though, which was the highest on the pitch from both teams. No idea about the influence of losing the ball on bps though. He also had 0 shots off target which is key

        If this is true, its great news. I would've thought Klasnic would've pipped Miyachi to 2?

        Awesome. Good return for a 4.9m punt. And more great fixtures to come. Let's hope this stops the stupid 'You're a fool for getting Miyaichi' posts.

    Strange QPR 2nd half performance that. Thought they looked great going forward 1st half and expected an onslaught after the equaliser. Nothing like it. Bolton didn't deserve the win but thought they were better in the 2nd half.

    Now Miyaichi has actually done something in FPL I will strongly consider him. However I reckon McClean may still outscore him this week playing up against Liverpool with Kelly and Coates ...

      this game is boring if we only bring in prospects after they have done something. this game is rewarding when you see potential and are proven correct.
