The curtain comes down on the second of four quick-fire festive Gameweeks this evening as Crystal Palace welcome Arsenal to Selhurst Park.

Up against the only side yet to keep a clean sheet in front of their own fans, the Gunners’ Alexandre Lacazette is the tenth top captain pick for Gameweek 20, handed the armband by 2.1% of Fantasy Premier League managers.

Having found the net in each of the last two, Mesut Ozil is the visitors’ form player, though Alexis Sanchez was back on the scoresheet against Liverpool last time out.

Both are owned by just 2% and could prove big differentials this evening.

Tonight’s teamsheet brings good news for the 11% still holding Sead Kolasinac, as he returns to the starting XI for the first time in four Gameweeks as the visitors revert to a wing-back set-up

The hosts, meanwhile, welcome back Christian Benteke from suspension. He bagged a goal and assist in his previous league appearance away to Swansea to hint at a return to form, though it’s Wilfried Zaha who has been the Eagles’ most impressive attacker of late.

Stationed up top in a front two, he has scored or assisted in five of his six home matches since returning from injury.

That output has been key to a run that’s seen Palace score two goals in each of the last six at Selhurst Park and could prove pivotal against an Arsenal rearguard with just two clean sheets in six on the road.

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

        Good advice.

        You wouldn't want to watch his effort for the first two Arsenal goals

    Sanchez scores! Laca assists! Nobody cares cos nobody owns them!

      • 15 Years

      I do. I've ruined my season by doing Salah and Kane to Laca and Sanchez. These points, although welcome, are just a painful reminder.

    A.
    Save 2 FTs with this:

    Gomes
    Christensen Jones Lindelof Mee
    Salah Coutinho Sterling Sanè
    Firmino Wilson

    (Elliot, Shaqiri, Mbemba, Kane)

    B. Use 1 FT to punt on Morata in for Kane (sell for 12.7m and get him back at 12.9m next gameweek). I have 0.2m itb to afford it. Leaves this:

    Gomes
    Christensen Jones Mee
    Salah Coutinho Sterling Sanè
    Morata Firmino Wilson

    (Elliot, Shaqiri, Lindelof, Mbemba)
