A weekend light on Premier League fixtures (and Fantasy Football points in my case), finishes on a potential high as title contenders Arsenal welcome Liverpool to the Emirates Stadium. An important game, both in terms of the destination of the Premier League title and for us Fantasy Managers, you can follow it throughout in our Dugout Discussion chatroom.

The team sheets are in and here is how the sides line-up…

Arsenal XI: Szczesny, Eboue, Koscielny, Djourou, Clichy, Diaby, Wilshere, Walcott, Fabregas, Nasri, van Persie

Liverpool XI: Reina, Flanagan, Carragher, Skrtel, Aurelio, Kuyt, Spearing, Lucas, Meireles, Suarez, Carroll

No shocks whatsoever for either team, meaning that Wojciech Szczesny returns from injury as expected/predicted.

Both Wojciech Szczesny and Johan Djourou return to the Arsenal lineup then, handing us Fantasy Managers possible budget options for the remainder of the season once again. Arsene Wenger also starts Theo Walcott on the flank, with Samir Nasri presumably lining up on the left against young John Flanagan in the Liverpool side. Andrey Arshavin has to make do with a bench role once again; he sits alongside Alex Song who returns from injury but watches on as Abou Diaby keeps his starting role. Liverpool are unchanged – Kenny Dalglish keeping faith with the same starting XI that demolished City last time out.

In addition to the Emriates clash, there’s also the FA Cup Semi-Final tie between Bolton Wanderers and Stoke City taking place at Wembley, the team news for which can be found right here courtesy of the ever-reliable SuperDunny. If that’s the game you are watching (and have endured the 90-minute television build-up), then please take a seat in our Dugout Discussion chatroom and inform the rest of us how it’s going.
