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.

          hang on.. the way its calculated, if its a tie, is:

          1. Most goals scored
          2. Most goals conceded
          3. Virtual coin toss

          Transfers don't come into it on these.
