Put up your feet, pour yourself another glass of mulled wine and grab that tin of Quality Street. After all it is christmas, and after all we’ve got another match to take in as we round out gameweek nineteen just as soon as it starts.

The Dugout Discussion closes it’s door for no-one and a festive game between Arsenal and Chelsea are no exception. Just nineteen weeks down and Arsene Wenger finally gets to start his two key players – Cesc Fabregas & Robin Van Persie – together for the first time this season, while the likes of Walcott finally get a start after weeks waiting patiently on the bench. Managerial heavyweight Carlo Ancelotti meanwhile gets to start Frank Lampard for the first time since August also. Team sheets in full are…

Arsenal: Fabianski; Sagna, Koscielny, Djourou, Clichy; Song, Fabregas, Wilshere; Walcott, van Persie, Nasri

Chelsea: Cech; Ferreira, Ivanovic, Terry, Cole; Essien, Mikel, Lampard; Kalou, Drogba, Malouda

Come join the festive banter as we all gorge on treats ahoy together and close out the gameweek in the Dugout Discussion.

    With Sunderland's good fixtures I am thinking of shipping Welbeck/Gyan in for Elmander (don't have the cash for Bent)

    Now when they play all (Bent, Gyan, Welbeck), Isn't Welbeck on the wing and Gyan and Bent up front? If so I am thinking about getting Gyan.

    A surprising 88 this week and ranked 1,134. I'm so excited I just had to share. It's my best ranking ever. The only downer is Fab's yellow card. I love Fantasy Football.

    Did anyone else think tonight's game was a seriously good game to watch for the neutral? I was expecting it to be a cagy affair.

            Talk about flu, but he had a hip injury that no one mentioned.

            That's not the point though. Form/Value makes it impossible in some cases to select a decent vice capt.

            I could not pick Tevez if I wanted to because I had Drogba(higher value)Carrol/nasri had higher form than Tevez.

            But hey, 7th green arrow in a row,highest rank of season, won h2h, won cuptie.

    Now i got a big problem since Fabs got his 5th yellow 🙁 Alrdy used the sub to get VDV instead of Kuyt, so was thinking of a -4/-8 hit, lets say Robinson > Gordon only might be a smart move not going more than -4... Welbeck/Gyan maybe for Elmander?

        No because Rosicky will play for Fabregas and Arshavin will definitely play because he was rested today

        Walcott is fit to play because he hasnt played a lot and Nasri looked knackered cause he played everything recently
