Gameweek 18 concludes with three games staggered throughout the day – Arsenal Vs. Wolves, Swansea Vs. QPR, and Norwich Vs. Spurs. The Dugout Discussion chatroom is open and following the action as it unfolds, so venture in and share your views on all of today’s events.

The team sheets from The Emirates are in…

Arsenal XI: Szczesny, Djourou, Koscielny, Mertesacker, Vermaelen, Song, Arteta, Rosicky, Benayoun, Gervinho, Van Persie.

Wolves XI: Hennessey, Zubar, Berra, Johnson, Ward, Forde, Henry, Milijas, Jarvis, Hunt, Fletcher.

For the first time in the league this season, Yossi Benayoun is named in the starting eleven for the home side, whilst the visitors – playing with a lone striker today – hand a Premier League debut to 18-year-old winger Anthony Forde.

Over six hours of football is almost upon us – enjoy it in our Dugout Discussion chatroom which can be accessed right here.

    Cup rival has 39 points (or 38 if Pilkington is fruitless off the bench) + potential bonus points for Krul, Simpson, RTaylor, Aguero.

    I have Assou-Ekotto and 36 points + potential bonus for Valencia and Ba.

    It's gonna be close - a Spurs cleanie will certainly be welcomed.

    The odd thing is how bad this week has been despite precious little rotation. Next gameweek could see players rested, and could be even worse....

    I had a dream team ready for a 100 point week and I am barely going to make it past 35 points. Not upset though, I enjoy the challenge. Big game weeks always disappoint.
