The final match of Gameweek 36 sees Arsenal entertain Newcastle at the Emirates this evening. Arsene Wenger’s side now look perfectly poised to claim a fourth place finish after Everton’s loss at Southampton leaves the Gunners a point clear of Roberto Martinez’ side with tonight’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.

        Same, trying to get closer to the top 10k. Knew the risks really with no set-pieces and a better PPG away from home. Oh well, 2 more GWs left!

          I should have picked up on the better away from home bit. I missed the 'sterling obliterates norwich' as well and swapped him for gerrard that gw a few weeks ago. Also ozil better at home so it figures...

          My only wish, as childish as it is, is to be 200 points ahead of everyone in my mini league by christmas next season. I'm going to use all my powers.

    irony is it would have been better if ramsey was with his partner giving birth tonight.

    on a serious note it's 3-0, could have easily been in amongst the goals, just one of those nights

        Could do with some advice from the pros out there. I was leading my ML by like 50 points and now it's down to 10 so I am now worried. My rival has the same team as me now apart from 1 player in defence. What move would you make for the next 2 game weeks, do I start taking risks, 1 could be Suarez > Wickham? Advice would be greatly appreciated especially with money at stake!
