The Saturday Surgery

The weather may well be damp but our spirits should remain high as we look forward to a day that delivers no less than eight Premier League matches, including the early and evening live games. Postpone the last minute Christmas shopping until tomorrow morning, then, and turn thoughts to the Fantasy dilemmas of the day. Our Saturday Surgery Chatroom is open to offer a sounding board for those looking for real-time response.

The day’s Dugout Discussion follows at 12.30 ahead of Arsenal’s clash with Wigan, while a risky Pre-match Preamble follows very shortly.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      Not be more tempted by Cazorla (c)? At Reading Walcott seemed to open up the defence to let Cazorla push up from midfield.
