The Weekend Team News

Filed under: Fantasy Football Team Selection, Team News - Posted by: Mark

Defoe set to start against Wigan as Spurs assess the need for his groin operation. Gomes and Modric will miss out for Spurs as they await Wigan who will be without Moses through injury and N’Zogbia who is talking terms with Birmingham. Ivanovic is a worry for Carlo Ancelotti ahead of Stoke’s visit. Marlon Harewood is set to miss out for Blackpool as they entertain Fulham. Dunn is in contention for Rovers for their Ewood battle with Arsenal. Agbonlahor is fit for Villa, along with Carew putting Albrighton’s chances of starting against Everton in doubt…

All today’s team news to this point has been lovingly collected for you in our Team News section along with our predicted lineups. We will keep you posted on any late developments up until kick-off via the tweets.

“Alex Chamberlain played three games for the first time in his career. He had a stiff neck at half-time, so I did not want to take a gamble with him. Then we had a problem with Koscielny, and I wanted to give some playing time to Benayoun.”

Arsene Wenger explains why Van Persie wasn't substituted in the 7-1 win over Blackburn following pre-game talk of the Dutch hitman needing rest
