Gameweek 28 finally comes to its conclusion as Arsenal and Manchester City square up at the Emirates Stadium this evening.

After claiming the Carabao Cup with a 3-0 win over their hosts on Sunday, the visitors could have a significant say on the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) standings with another victory tonight.

City boast two of the top six captains for Gameweek 28, with Sergio Aguero and Kevin De Bruyne backed by 458,000+ and 159,000+ respectively.

Yet both have toiled on their travels of late.

Although Aguero has struck eight times in his previous four league outings, you have to go back to Gameweek 17 – at Swansea – for his last goal on the road. De Bruyne, meanwhile, has just one assist in his previous four away appearances.

Elsewhere for Pep Guardiola’s side, Raheem Sterling misses out with a muscle problem.

The most sold player (268,000) for Gameweek 28, he also leads the way for transfers out ahead of Saturday’s deadline – with City entertaining Chelsea this weekend, a further 81,000 owners have parted company.

We’ll be looking to the Gunners, meanwhile, for signs of form ahead of a very kind upcoming run-in that could prove conducive to Fantasy investment.

After tonight, Arsene Wenger’s side travel to Brighton and host Watford before a Gameweek 31 blank precedes home encounters with Stoke and Southampton.

Priced at 6.9, Aaron Ramsey looks one to keep an eye on, with the Welshman’s average of 5.8 points per match ranked fifth among FPL midfielders.

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

    I just realised why Kola is weird looking - it's his heed - it's like an orange on a big toothpick - Kola head too big for his body like one of those footy plastic characters - so glad this has resolved my months of wondering what was odd about that fella - Oh yeah and Sane on his game is real quality - like PlayStation levels

      Defence is the base for offence.

      1. Ghost Gooner
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        We don't do defence 😆

    Arsenal are good going forward but their defence is a shambles of epic proportions

    Lol at all these "Wenger gone" shouts. He's not gonna go. He's loved by the management. He spent less on transfers in 21 years than Guardiola did in 21 months. Net profit is quite high. Tickets are most expensive in the league and people still buy them. Fans angry? Who cares...

  24. DAZZ

    Go on Bernardo get me something else, i'd settle for an assist

  25. It’s gonna Ben Mee

    Wenger sacked in HT?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Contract extension more likely.

  26. diesel001

    Still think Arsenal will beat MIlan in the Europa League

    1. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Based on what evidence?

      1. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Form. Arsenal are absolute crap against the rest of the top 6. But they are better than the rest of the crap in the PL.

        Milan aren't that good.

    considering silva in for sterling on the WC, thinking might be less prone to resting as the season is tied up as he had a lot of time off with his family matters

    5 live saying the match could be postponed due to the heavy snowfall.

    Would tonight's points be wiped? Has that ever happened before?
