The Gameweek continues with a pair of Sunday afternoon kick-offs, beginning with Fulham’s clash with Villa at the Cottage, in just a few minutes. Following on from that, two form sides clash at the Emirates as leaders Arsenal look for their seventh home victory of the season against an Everton outfit fresh from their midweek win at Old Trafford.

While those two teams are looking to extend a superb spell of results, Rene Meulensteen’s Fulham are desperately seeking to end a run of six consecutive defeats against Paul Lambert’s inconsistent Villa: they will arrive in West London unbeaten in their last four road trips in the league and boosted by the midweek win at St Mary’s.

Look to our Twitter feed for the latest news on today’s teamsheets as it breaks, while our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open and will remain so throughout today’s matches, up until the final whistle at the Emirates.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Giroud to Lukaku done

    Now I'm thinking -4 but what would be better for this week and long term

    Amalfitano > Fer or Redmond. Rest of mid is Ozil hazard Cabaye Barkley

    Clyne to Turner (cardif). Rest of d is Coleman Mert Williams Chester

    Or nothing?

    Thanks!

    *Important information*

    The goal by Everton's Gerard Deulofeu has been reviewed and the assist to Romelu Lukaku remains. Our forensics team have just got back to us from the North London laboratory and a skin cell believed to be from Belgian Congolese origin was found on the ball sandwiched between Costa Rican and Spanish skin cells.

      I honestly think Martinez has a good thing going here, no reason to play him from the start in top many games. He'll get the odd start over Christmas, but Martinez is wisely using him sparingly

      It doesn't matter what we think of Wally really. I mean, we know he's got the potential. It's just a matter of when Wenger will start him. I'd say wait until he starts a game. Better to be late one week than early a few weeks as they say
