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.

    Fabs has been immense tonight. Even without a goal and assists he would get 3bps.

        Nasri played very good game but Fabs is a different kind of monster.

              No, changed my mind just before the boxing day deadline (which was Sunday - my bad) when I knew he would play cos of Eve game being off.

    Phew. 53pts plays 51pts inc his bench in the cup. And I should have Tevez as emergency captain so should be done and dusted!

    Might even go second in my main 2 mini leagues as well for an added bonus. However am thinking of 3 transfers for a 4 pt hit! Madness?

      B - Bent's sharing the wealth these days. Gerrard in for Nasri is a good move, but with Fabs out at Wigan, Nasri could have a big game.
