The final match of Gameweek 36 sees Arsenal entertain Newcastle at the Emirates this evening. Arsene Wengerโ€™s side now look perfectly poised to claim a fourth place finish after Evertonโ€™s loss at Southampton leaves the Gunners a point clear of Roberto Martinezโ€™ side with tonightโ€™s match in hand:

Fantasy attentions turn to Aaron Ramsey after the Welshman was drafted in by an incredible 334,000 new owners last week, whilst Lukas Podolski goes in search of a third successive brace, having hit two past West Ham and Hull in the previous couple of Gameweeks.

Unsurprisingly, the Gunners are unchanged from the side that cruised past Hull last time around. Alan Pardew makes three changes as he desperately trying to halt a dire series of displays which has seen the Magpies lose six of the last seven, with just two goals scored over that run. Mathieu Debuchy, Moussa Sissoko and Loic Remy all come into the starting XI, with Papiss Cisse, Luuk de Jong and Shola Ameobi dropping out.

Full details of the starting lineups can be found via our Twitter feed, while the Dugout Discussion chatroom remains opens for those looking to indulge in some real-time banter.

    Mata or Yaya? Can't afford both unless I take -16.

      In UFPL Giroud got an assist and then penalised for a big chance missed. Can't get my head around this one really. He caused the goal yet is penalised for it when he's already been penalised a point by getting an assist rather than a goal.

          effectively yes, so it's a double penalty.

          Missing a big chance when your team actually scores from the rebound isn't right. It should be exclusive from any corresponding goal

      Looks like Yaya and Evra are rising tonight. With this in mind, I can do Baines and Ramsey > yaya and Evra for the exact amount. The other option would be to go Baines + Eriksen > yaya and a 5.8 def, preferably a DGWer.

      Appreciate your thoughts on this thanks!
