Gameweek 35 kicks off with a game between third-placed Arsenal and sixth-placed Chelsea. Champions League qualification (and all the money it brings) is at stake, and the Dugout Discussion opens to see how it plays out. The line-ups from the early game have been released, and are as follows…

Arsenal XI: Szczesny, Sagna, Koscielny, Vermaelen, Gibbs, Ramsey, Song, Walcott, Rosicky, Oxlade-Chamberlain, van Persie.

Chelsea XI: Cech, Bosingwa, Cahill, Terry, Bertrand, Essien, Romeu, Malouda, Sturridge, Torres, Kalou.

From the defeat at the hands of struggling Wigan there are four casualties, with Johan Djourou, Andre Santos, Mikel Areta and Yossi Benayoun all out of the eleven. In comes Laurent Koscielny, Kieran Gibbs, Aaron Ramsey and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

Juggling his priorities, Roberto Di Matteo makes eight (8) changes ahead of the second leg Champions League semi-final against Barcelona. Petr Cech, John Terry and Gary Cahill are the only survivors from the first leg.

After the game at the Emirates we’ve got five 3pm fixtures to enjoy, before the day’s football concludes at Loftus Road for the game between QPR and Tottenham.

The Dugout Discussion chatroom will be open for the entirety of today’s action, and can be accessed right here.

      But I played De Gea, can't really complain given United's recent defensive record.

        De Gea was still the logical choice for you.

    Not feeling too bad about this week...so far. Cisse with a goal and assist shouldn't hurt me too much...ML rivals have captained Dempsey and RVP pretty much so if Tevez(C) for me does something tomorrow it could turn out very well 🙂

    ...on a side note, COME ON WIGAN! Desperate for another win, Blackburn winning won't make it easy for us and it would be a fantastic result.

        Looks like it! Such a random assortment of teams and captains it's quite refreshing. Cisse goal was expected but he could and shove have had one or two more.

        My team is pretty risky with Bale and Ade relative differentials in my ML so I'm praying they perform well. Likewise with Tevez...could end up screwing me over 😀
