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.

        Well he's extremely lazy and wasteful in the final third. Has some ability but not enough work rate. He doesn't look for a pass within 20 yards of the goal, just puts his head down and shoots.

        He's ok but not great. He always seems a bit wasteful when it comes to being around the box and shooting too often.

        But he does have a hell of a pass when he wants to, just probably doesn't happen as often as it should.

    Since we're all sharing about our cup triumphs and disasters, here's my situation:

    IF Ade doesn't score or assist, its a likely scenario that I'll draw with my opponent (inc. expected baps).

    We both have 1 goal scored this gw.

    Which means I would then beat him on goals conceded (4-10 to me).

    Love this game...

        I think you'll find they can.

        Whether they're right or not, is another matter.

        But I think Ba = 2, Baines = 3, isn't a million miles off.

        I'm on 23p. Coming into the GW, I was inside 9000 in the world, and had 6 straight green arrows. My opponent had Begovic in goal, DeLaet and Ferguson on the bench and hadn't made a transfer since GW11. And yet today, I desperately needed a RvP goal and Vorm to keep a CS to survive. Needless to say, it is one and done for me.
