Wolves will need to make do without Jamie O’Hara once again this evening, as Norwich make their way to Molineux. Chelsea expect John Terry to be fit for Thursday’s clash with Spurs after suffering an Achilles tweak, while reports suggest Gareth Bale is winning his fitness battle ahead of the all-London showdown.

Steve Kean’s worries mount up, with Scott Dann and Gael Givet both out for Blackburn in tonight’s Lancashire derby with Bolton. Arsene Wenger and Alan Pardew both have dilemmas in the midfield area, with Alex Song and Yohan Cabaye missing out against Aston Villa and West Brom respectively due to one-match bans.

As ever, keep checking Team News for all the latest reports, outs and doubts and predicted lineups. There’s also our handy Twitter feed which brings you news links direct from the source.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

          I am not going to go ahead with it, as it is a waste of a transfer and I will lose value, also i fancy Chelsea Spurs to be high scoring anyway..

    Im not at all happy with my side for this week..
    But then I was supposed to do really well last week with about 10 home ties...
    But right now it looks in poor shape!!
    Advice please....

    Vorm (Friedal)

    R Taylor Jagielka Jones Richards (Young)

    Bale Nani Mata B Arfa (Allen)

    Ade Ba (Sturridge)

    Thoughts- B Arfa, what a disappointment but I think i ll wait another week to change. If he dont play at home to WBA... forget it! Sturridge will come in for him anyway in my team

    Worried about R Taylor and Richards too.
    When is R Taylor due back?? I brought him in two weeks ago.. what another disaster..

    Players Im thinking of bringing in- Moses, Gomez, Shelvey...

    worth waiting another week to make two FTs.. or should i bring in somebody this week!!!

      Richards will get goals/assists, but City won't get many CSs in my opinion, I'd say worth keeping him in for the attacking threat. I'd get someone like Skrtel or Walker in for R.Taylor - both play in teams that get CSs and are goal threats.

      Seven of those starters at home, decent enough. I'm not sure why you're so done on this team, looks very decent to me. I'd be switching BarFa out for Studge though.

      Adam is very consistent but never too exciting. That is exactly the kind of player that keeps your squad going through lean patches. Points-wise, an assist a game is what he's been recently managing, and that's better than most players in fact. Mata may outscore him but it may be by far less than you think and you got some spare cash now.

      I think it's pretty good, apart from the keepers - that's a pretty horrible rotation. My suggestion would be to up Morison to Sturridge, the obvious way to do that would be to downgrade Baines but I suspect you won't want to do that prior to the DGW.

        Easier still you can downgrade one of Larsson / Walters to someone 5mil or less and stick them on your bench, your back line is strong enough that they might not even need to be first sub.

            Both of those are good options, the fixtures are pretty bad for a while but you can sit that out - hopefully you won't need your cheapie mid for a few weeks, having Evans as your 4th defender gives you a bit of cover.

        Yeah, I agree with Stili on GKs. But my way to squeeze Studge in would be to sell Mata for Milner. Studge gives you Chelski coverage (if that's your thing) while Milner should start this GW, and get decent playing time over the next 608 GWs due to Yoyo going to ACN.

    Silva Nani Drenthe Bale (Eagles)
    RVP Ade Sturridge

    If Bale plays, Eagles won't play, but he's playing Blackburn and he could score big.

    Should I
    A) Stick with my team
    B) Change my starting mids
    C) Go 3-5-2?

    Hey guys! Thinking of saving my transfer this GW, let me know what you think.

    Ruddy (Schwarzer)

    Jones, Baines, Simpson (Ward, Ntaylor)

    Sinclair, VDV, Silva, Jarvis (Moses)

    RvP, Adebayor, Ba

    The obvious problem is Schwarzer. I'm sick of using transfers on keepers though, I bought Schwarzer in for Given and had him for a week before he got injured. I'm thinking of replacing him with a cheapie, Sorensen most likely. His fixture is city away, so I'll play Ruddy anyway. Might as well save it then since Schwarzer is long off a drop? Any other transfers I need this GW?

    Pilkington is going for moses/gomez this week.. just not sure which one.. rest of my attackin 8 have to play every week so they're in incase of rest/rotation only.. so considerin that
    Moses -
    0.3 cheaper
    OOP(seems to be playin better with just 2 upfront)
    Involved in pretty much everythin at wigan at the moment
    90 mins guaranteed
    Gomez -
    Penos, free kicks
    Just takes a few shot from open play else not much of a threat
    not guaranteed 90 mins as proved by his history
    more expensive and considerin will be on the bench most weeks worth payin that 0.3 extra?

    so who do i go for?
    team linked.. thanks in advance

          I think Shelvey will get this GW but Spearing returns from suspension on 26 Dec and will threaten his position. Also Liv still have Adam, Downing, Henderson, Kuyt and Maxi as realistic starters, not all of which play his position but he's bottom of that pile.

          Unless it's a 1-2 GW gamble I wouldn't...
