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.

    Can people stop banging on about Kelly's clean sheet? He wasn't subbed off, according to virtually every news outlet in the universe.

    The more Steve Kean and Blackburn keep doing what they're doing the more ignorant and disrespectful their fans look. They have been a disgrace this season. Jumping on a bandwagon that was detrimental to what the club was trying to do. When Fergie and Moyes come out and say how disgusting the behaviour is you know something is wrong.

    I have 0.2 rise in Suarez so will get 0.1, is it worth getting Pog in today for the inevitable rise tonight and to free up some cash.

      Chasing 0.1 in price difference isn't really worth it at this point in the season, an early transfer for 0.1 when there's a possibility Pog got very annoyed at the last minute goal and started smashing plastic lucozade bottles with his head.

        I could have had Ruddy instead of Bogdan in goal if I had 0.1 extra for WC team, so it still makes a difference.
