This is what we’ve been waiting for. A potentially momentous Gameweek in our seasons begins very shortly, as Chelsea face Arsenal at the Bridge in a fixture that offers plenty to the neutral and the committed Fantasy Football manager alike.

Eden Hazard’s owners will be clinging to the Belgian in hope that he can overcome the Gunners’ resistance to offer a decent points haul to justify selection ahead of a double Gameweek asset. Those holding Chelsea and Arsenal defenders will be seeking a more subdued encounter, fought in midfield, with little incident at either end. It’s one of many contrasts and conflicts ahead of us as Gameweek 31 unfolds in the coming days.

Once we know how this one falls, six more three o’clock kick-offs follow, with United’s visit to the Boleyn Ground in East London bringing the day to a close.

Our Twitter feed offers an insight into today’s teamsheets, while our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open to allow for your real-time interaction throughout the day.

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

        Looking good so far. Mine's the first bet in a challenge thing I'm doing. Turn a tenner into a couple of grand in about ten to fifteen bets. All between evens and 1/2.

    Oh my. Wish I hadn't done that analysis on Hazard's performances against big teams now - my over reliance on stats instead of gut instinct has let me down badly on this one!

    Well done to anyone who played Hazard and benched a DGW player.

        Well, I can still justify my decision but the game doesn't reward moral victories unfortunately. I remember the Chelsea DGW 1 a couple of years ago when I refused to buy Torres - he was dreadful but got a scrappy offside goal to reward owners. Cold comfort.
