The first day of a gameweek that stretches over five successive days gets underway shortly at Molineux. Follow all the day’s action with us in our Dugout Discussion chatroom.

So Mick McCarthy’s side host a Liverpool team looking to avenge the defeat from their previous league meeting in today’s early game, and the team sheets are in…

Wolves XI: Hennessey, Zubar, Stearman, Berra, Ward, Jarvis, Henry, Milijas, Hunt, Doyle, Fletcher

Liverpool XI: Reina, Kelly, Skrtel, Agger, Johnson, Kuyt, Lucas, Poulsen, Meireles, Maxi, Torres

Both sides line-up as expected, with only Christian Poulsen starting ahead of Jay Spearing for the visitors.

Following that we have a colossal seven fixtures this afternoon and evening. At 3pm Arsenal host Wigan, Blackpool kick-off their home double against Darren Bentless Sunderland, West Ham travel to Steven Pienaarless Everton, Fulham welcome the visit of Stoke, Man United take on Birmingham and Spurs are up at Newcastle.

Then, this evening, big-spenders Man City face big-spenders Aston Villa at Villa Park.

        One of the reasons I have a love/hate relationship with this bloody game being that I'm annoyed at taking out Vidic and putting in Evra even though it's been a great week. No perspective.

    Sorry. I went out. So how many assists did Rooney get? Just the two? Rooney will get a hat-trick at Blackpool for those who chose him over Berb by the way... Also I almost came up trumps with my bet on Man U 6-0 Blackpool. 🙠Oh well.

    Just Picked myself off the floor after Rooney's header miss. FPL managers get more stress than Fergie or Moyes or Wenger or Harry or poor old Avram - all they have to worry about is one game while us FPL managers have to worry about dam near every game played. Its only a game no point getting so fecking worked up - note to self get a grip and stop fecking swearing and relax. COME ON TEVEZ! Hahahahhaha almost every key striker filled their boots today now will Mr T????

    Blackpool boss Ian Holloway on his in-demand midfielder Charlie Adam: "There are three teams in and around us in the league who have all offered unbelievably little amounts of money for him (Liverpool, Aston Villa Birmingham). I am disappointed by that - £2.5m, £3.5m and £4m. Any chance of putting a one in front of that and you might have a chance. If he's only worth £4m then I'm a Scotsman called McTavish."

      Man City did not put their second team in againt Blackpool and they have a better second team. You can't take Blackpool lightly, Rooney should play he needs goals and if he cant do it against Blackpool even ManU should sell him in the summer.

    Interestingly I just got a text from United advertising the Villa game. First time that's ever happened in the three years since I gave them my mobile number. Struggling to put bums on seats in the face of a boycott perhaps????

      I actually completely forgot about that whole anti-Glazer protest.

      I guess the Norwich City club shop ran out of scarves.

        Erm, it's not like it's stopped. It's just getting less media attention because united are doing well.

    Almost the perfect Saturday for me - if only I had got Dempsey in my WC. Still should break 100 for the 1st time this season.

    Hopefully Tevez has a howler and Man City concede
