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.

      That'd be very brave given Swansea's home record, their possession stats read like those of a top 4 team. Can't see Tottenham scoring more than 1.

        Yup but they looked far from convincing against a weak QPR side, fancy Spurs to outpace them and get a comfortable win unless SuperVorm shut the lights 😉

    Not the ideal week to be doing it but can't afford Bale to rise in price..

    Any reason not to? Could also do Silva -> Bale but had Silva since he was 9.7

        yipee. Unless Ade bags a goal guaranteed to go back top of my ML, I'm 3 ahead of my rival right now he has Simpson to come of his bench and I have Raylor to come off mine.

      Have both at the moment but going to ditch Valencia - prone to being picked at right back and will then be prone to rotation once Young is back. Nani is a better long term prospect.
