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.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Repost

    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.

    Your thoughts on this would be much appreciated!

        I'm not a fan of AJ so I would ship him but having a dgw is certainly enticing

        I have the same dilemma for bringing in mata.

        Surely we keep AJ?

      horrible gameweek on the whole when it comes to OR, as I ended on 54 (-8) but in terms of my fight with my rival for first place I've cut his lead from 28 to just 13 this gameweek alone so happy there
