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.

      Hmm it's a toughie. Pens does swing it for Ade. What are your reasons?

        Could be on pens and plays further up the pitch. More likely to get a hattrick than Bale, and gets assists aswell

    No don't take him off gives league leader a CS. He's gonna easily pass 50 now for sure on the worst week this season... 🙁

      was about to ask, looking through the rules, it seemed to me that if Spurs concede now, BAE will still get CS bonus, am I correct?

    Bale is having an excellent season. The play of Adebayor has a lot to do with it - the second goal a great example, freeing Bale to run at defenders. Deadly.

      think I'm doing the exact same move. Only way I can get Bale in, is either move out Nani or Silva. I'm not moving Nani, so it looks like I have to reluctantly sell Silva.

      I've a feeling Silva's price will drop soon, whereas Bale's price will skyrocket once again.

    Hands up if you would have kept VDV and not got Bale this week if he hadn't been flagged so early and Harry hadn't said he would be out until at least new year?

    Thinking of going with all 3 of Bale, VDV and Adebayor for the double GW. Will mean Enrique being transferred out for a week or two at a loss of at least 0.1 but it's difficult to predict who of those 3 will score the most points.

        Possible.

        VDV averages 5 points a game - 10 points
        Walker 2 clean sheets - 12 points.

        Difficult decision.
