The Dugout Discussion opens for the concluding fixture of Gameweek 34, which sees 17th placed Wigan Athletic travel down the 3rd placed Arsenal. The team news for the game is in, and the sides line-up as follows…

Arsenal XI: Szczesny, Sagna, Djourou, Vermaelen, Andre Santos, Song, Arteta, Walcott, Rosicky, Benayoun, van Persie.

Wigan XI: Al Habsi, Alcaraz, Caldwell, Figueroa, Boyce, McCarthy, McArthur, Beausejour, Moses, Di Santo, Gomez.

A single change from the side that brushed Wolves aside for the Gunners, as Tomas Rosicky comes in for Aaron Ramsey in midfield.

Despite condemning Manchester United to only their fourth defeat of the season, Shaun Maloney isn’t in the visitors squad. Jordi Gomez replaces the Malaysian born Scot.

    Maybe time to abandon the good ship RvP.

    It's not about how well you play, it's about how well you score.

    1 pen in 5 games is poor form, Rooney has 4 in the same period. Plus he has better fixtures, can honestly see him scoring in the derby. Only 3 goals behind RvP now. Plus if Everton are without Baines next week, Tony V mat run riot down the wing

    It's an Arsenal trait to fade at the end of the season - sad to say it looks like it's happening again.

    Unlike Man U.

    SAF is a much better manager than Wenger or Mancini
