Just two kick-offs this Sunday as Arsenal travel up to Goodison Park to try and capitalise on United’s draw at Villa Park and move into second place while Chelsea look to open up a lead of 5 or 6 points – depending on the Arsenal result – to their closest rivals at the top.

Everton have recalled Seamus Coleman and Johnny Heitinga to their starting line-up in place of Diniyar Bilyaletdinov and the suspended Marouanne Fellaini. Arsenal meanwhile recall Samir Nasri in place of Thomas Rosicky, the teams in full are…

Everton XI: Howard, Neville, Jagielka, Distin, Baines, Coleman, Arteta, Heitinga, Pienaar, Cahill, Saha.

Arsenal XI: Fabianski, Sagna, Djourou, Squillaci, Clichy, Nasri, Song, Wilshere, Arshavin, Fabregas, Chamakh

          Maybe, but I don't think it will change Nani's role. I think Rooney will play the main striker role again, so it will be down to Luis Nani to tee up the chances for him. He'll still be on set-plays, too. The only mark against Nani is that the bonus Gods don't deem him worthy for points.

    strikers really are crap this year, there are no good ones in the high price bracket! malaria is out of form, rvp and rooney are injured, torres hit and miss, tevez plays for city, bent is injured, chamakh scores in unpredictable games, berbatov is back to his sh*t old self, adebayor and balotelli... well.

    having gone with the tactic of cheap defenders, my defence is constatnly bringing home 4pts from 4 players which is not good enough.

    therefore i have come up with a new tactic which has probably been invented before:

    expensive defence
    expensive midfield
    cheap strikers

    think it'll work?

      Am considering doing currently have Carroll, Drog, Elmander upfront and thinking of doing Malouda to Albrighton and use the cash to bring in some of the expensive full backs.

    OK. Ready for kick-off. Looking forward to another high scoring game at Goodison with Drogba to sign off later with a couple.

    Its not the same watching Sunday Football when your captain had a stinker on Sat. Want points but also don't want the decision to look even worse.

            Fibbert - i'm sure there are plenty of players with great stats in the lower leagues but surely an England squad should be made up of players playing at the highest level.

    Hmmmmmm tempted by Drogs to Rooney for next GW. Reckon he and Utd will tear Wigan a new one at OT. Fergie will have them all fired up for that too.

        Returned to OT after doing 3 days of 3 training sessions a day. Will have a full weeks training at Utd in the build up to the wigan game too. 3 good fixtures coming up, he'll be fresh, yup this is looking better by the minute. Plus, Drogba has been hopeless recently.

            That's the beauty of it. No one else will transfer him in till he starts scoring. Hoping to get ahead of the masses. He can't do any worse than any of the other big players at the moment.
