Arsene Wenger believes Fabregas “won’t play on Saturday” (while Cesc thinks his season may even be over), no real word has been forthcoming as of yet on the state of Mikel Arteta after he sat out last weeks trip to Wolves and barring Rooney coming back from the brink (Well, it is Easter this weekend after all…), all signs point to him being out of action too.
All this is before Liverpool and Fulham take part in some Europa league action this evening too, heaven knows what is yet to happen. So then, just who is going to lead your fantasy team out this week?
Nicklas Bendtner? Last time someone did that one of us was none too pleased. Darren Bent? He’d certainly love to show ‘Arry Redknapp what he can do. Carlos Tevez is still scoring and is about to face Burnley? I’m going to leave this one in the stewardship of your safe hands…
The eagle-eyed amongst you will have also noticed that in light of these big candidates being all but ruled out in recent days we have wiped the slate clean and started the poll afresh so you can once more make your vote for this week.
We’ve said it before, but this really could be time for the “differential” for those of you in the chasing pack – so many big guns out of contention or against otherwise unfavourable opposition. Go place your votes and use this post as your discussion point for all things armband. (Or is it handband?)
