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.

        He played right wing, Woodgate was rb and was subbed off on 70 for Pennant so Shotton slotted into rb.

      Unlucky, you're team looks alright 😉

      Looks like i''m going out to someone in the top 150k still playing, I'm on the edge of top 100k.

      For me to go through I need generous BPs, a Swansea clean sheet and a 1 point sub appearance from Pilkington now, we share too many players.

      N Taylor is nearly back from injury, he could play at the weekend, Simpson has Liverpool away but they're not scoring many goals, hopefully one of Jones or Evans will play for you and Richards could recover from his knock - then you're sorted 😉

      On the other hand you could end up with Simpson as your only playing defender and them getting spanked by Newcastle..

      Try to minimise your hits though
