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.

    my FPL cup opponent is currently ranked 1,397,421, hasn't made any transfers since GW14 and has a team value of 100.0M

    and he's going to win.

    At least my cup opp is a serious player, currently in the top 5,000 (22,000 ahead of me atm) - and I could still scrape it with Bale and Ade scoring (and Spurs not keeping a clean sheet). I suppose I shouldn't be to upset if I lose.
