While some of us have already begun tinkering with the winter wildcards, there are five games taking place today as double gameweek 20 gets underway.

The big news is that Daniel Sturridge is not in the Chelsea squad- those overnight reports of a leg injury appear to have been true, then.

Here’s the line-ups of this afternoon’s four fixtures before Arsenal make their way to the Cottage this evening:

Blackburn: Bunn, Lowe, Samba, Hanley, Henley, Nzonzi, Formica, Dunn, Petrovic, Pedersen, Yakubu
Stoke: Sorensen; Woodgate, Shawcross, Huth, Wilson; Shotton, Whelan, Whitehead, Etherington; Walters, Crouch

Wolves: Hennessey, Stearman, Berra, Johnson, Ward, Hammill, Henry, Frimpong, Forde, Edwards, Doyle.
Chelsea: Cech; Bosingwa, Luiz, Terry, Cole; Meireles, Romeu, Lampard; Ramires, Torres, Mata.

QPR: Kenny, Hill, Derry, Gabbidon, Taarabt, Faurlin, Mackie, Barton, Young, Helguson, Ferdinand
Norwich: Ruddy, Martin, Drury, Johnson, Whitbread, Holt, Jackson, Pilkington, Bennett, Lappin, Ayala.

Aston Villa: Guzan, Cuellar, Dunne, Collins, Warnock; Petrov, Clark, N’Zogbia, Ireland, Agbonlahor, Bent
Swansea: Vorm, Rangel, Caulker, Williams, Taylor; Britton, Dyer, Routledge, Agustien, Orlandi; Graham

          I agree, most of the "Big" club will rest players for the FAC. Therefore there won't be as much of a chance to gauge form.

    did anyone notice that when ramires scored, everyone( Except FAT frank and JT) went straight to avb but when frank scored, he rushed towards the corner flag as quickly as he could, and JT seemed to look far more happier that time o_O

      yeah well he's the first manager to bench lampard (rightly so) so i'm sure fatboy would be against avb. him and JT are close after all the years so i wouldn't be surprised if they're the 2 against him.

      Probably not. I think he's behind Shola and Cabaye for a start. More than likely behind Ben Arfa too.

      Plus I think he wont be such a regular in the starting XI now.

          Think Ben Arfa may get starts with Ba away at ACON, playing just behind Best or Shola. Problem is Pardew doesn't trust him defensively to start him on the wing so his only chance is further up the field.

          And I'm looking at Cabaye too, hopefully Santon will start more instead of Raylor and Cabaye will take over FK's.
