Gameweek 18 concludes with three games staggered throughout the day – Arsenal Vs. Wolves, Swansea Vs. QPR, and Norwich Vs. Spurs. The Dugout Discussion chatroom is open and following the action as it unfolds, so venture in and share your views on all of today’s events.

The team sheets from The Emirates are in…

Arsenal XI: Szczesny, Djourou, Koscielny, Mertesacker, Vermaelen, Song, Arteta, Rosicky, Benayoun, Gervinho, Van Persie.

Wolves XI: Hennessey, Zubar, Berra, Johnson, Ward, Forde, Henry, Milijas, Jarvis, Hunt, Fletcher.

For the first time in the league this season, Yossi Benayoun is named in the starting eleven for the home side, whilst the visitors – playing with a lone striker today – hand a Premier League debut to 18-year-old winger Anthony Forde.

Over six hours of football is almost upon us – enjoy it in our Dugout Discussion chatroom which can be accessed right here.

        +1.. Song is one of the better defensive mids that can also make the killer pass and even chip in with the odd goal. Been off today for sure, hopefully he (and RVP!) picks it up 2nd half

    FACT: Heidar Helguson has scored seven goals in his last nine Premier League appearances; QPR have the worst shooting accuracy in the top flight, finding the target with just 35% of attempts.

    FACT: Swansea have the best defensive record in the top flight on home soil, conceding just two goals at the Liberty Stadium so far; The Liberty Stadium has only seen 12 goals scored this season, fewer than any other ground in the Premier League; Swansea have lost just one of their last 16 home games in league competition (W10 D5 L1).

    I think I can guess what will happen this game....0-3 QPR!!
