Gameweek 37 finally comes to its conclusion this evening as Arsenal take on Sunderland at the Emirates. Tonight’s match remains crucial for both sides. The Gunners need a win to clinch third and potentially allow Arsene Wenger to rotate at home to West Brom on Sunday ahead of the FA Cup final, whilst Sunderland need a point to seal their survival for another season.

Arsenal’s 1-1 draw at United saw all of their big-hitters fail to deliver the goods in the first match of the double. Alexis Sanchez, Santi Cazorla, Olivier Giroud and Aaron Ramsey were afforded significant investment prior to the deadline and their new batch of owners will be desperate for the Gunners to turn on the style. All four start this evening, although Arsene Wenger does make two changes – Jack Wilshere and Kieran Gibbs come in for Francis Coquelin and Nacho Monreal. Laurent Koscielny is fit to start in central defence, despite a recent flu virus scare.

Sunderland arrive on a four-match unbeaten run, though, and have conceded more than a single goal just once in seven matches under Dick Advocaat. Can the Black Cats record a third straight shut-out for the first time this term and reward owners of Costel Pantilimon and Patrick van Aanholt again? The Black Cats make just one change – Adam Johnson starts on the flank as Liam Bridcutt misses out through injury.

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

    If only Arsenal scored an early goal this game would probably have ended 5-2

    1. Camp No No
      • 12 Years

      They might be sitting at the centre circle playing duck, duck, goose?

  16. Viper
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    A Sanchez (c) goal wouldn't really be much use to me FPL wise with Panti & PVA in my side!?

    1. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Do the math.

      1. Viper
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        I'd gain more points from a Sanchez goal but in the grand scheme of things, the CS would be better.

        All of this is in FPL terms of course. I wouldn't mind any Arsenal goal.

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Surely at this stage you would take the cs?

    3. Camp No No
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      It would be bad for you.

        You know this fpl game needs some rule changes when it comes to major enthusiasm for a save point.
