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.

        Yup. I'd imagine Moyes will go for someone with a bit more passion/industry than Drenthe for the derby.

    Are people really surprised that Redknapp brought on Saha? Just because he recently switched from the club doesn't mean anything. What's more is it is his job to win games with the team, not uphold silly little agreements about not playing a player who is his. I have no doubt that had Pienaar been sold to Everton instead of on loan he would be on the pitch today. Back to study, just had to share my semi-rant. 🙂
