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.

    Walcott is the only one being direct enough, I don't know why Arsenal aren't starting him.

      He's always been a bit of a halted chicken that can't pay the team game.

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

    No difference for CL between 2nd and 3rd? Straight through to the group stage for both teams, yes?

    1. Heels_Over_Head
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      aye, but Arsenal need to lose to have a shot at nicking the Wenger Cup still

      8. lastmanback
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Why is Panti not on for max bonus or any bonus for that matter? Craziness!

        1. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          Man in the stand is turning in his grave.

      9. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Defoe goal would be orgasm!

      10. Danstoke82
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Wow Panti is bossing it

      11. Andy1
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        A draw would still mean arsenal need a point to guarantee third.
        Means giroud and Sanchez play sunday

        1. Heels_Over_Head
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          I'd play Wally ahead of Giroud on current form

        2. Jimmers
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          7 goal turnaround needed by ManU

      12. guardian.c
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        0-0 or a giroud goal best for me

      13. Make United Great Again
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Panti in goal for me. Is he on for any bonus?

        1. Punty
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          It's a farce

        2. Towsor44
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          To a lot of consternation, no at the moment! All Arsenal defence

        3. Hybrid.power
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          Doesn't look like it unfortunately, Arsenal defenders bossing them

      14. Wings of Steel
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Baps system always been flawed. Panti wont get 3bps

        1. Danstoke82
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          That is ludicrous if he doesn't get the full 3.

        2. darko
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          It has Kos and Bellerin ahead of him? Ridiculous!

      15. You Must Be Jokin Ere
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Defending by defenders and outstanding goalkeeping by keepers not recognised in the Baps

      16. Duke Silver ☑
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        If Panti tests positively for steroids, his fpl points are null and void, right? 😉

        1. Heels_Over_Head
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          * HGH

      17. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        I wonder if a Cazorla shot will ever reach the goal

      18. brianutd-why always we? 20
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago
