Sunday Dugout Discussion

There’s just one Premier League fixture on this Easter Sunday, as Arsenal visit the Reebok Stadium. With title rivals Manchester United and Chelsea both securing three points yesterday, this of course falls into the ‘must win’ category for the Gunners.

As for Bolton, the 43 points they’ve already accrued this season means that they don’t really have a lot to play for. However, after suffering a major humiliation at Wembley last week, it’s perhaps pride more than anything else that’s at stake for the home side.

The Dugout Discussion chatroom is open, and the team news is in…

Bolton XI: Jaaskelainen, Steinsson, Cahill, Knight, Robinson, Lee, Elmander, Muamba, Taylor, Sturridge, Kevin Davies

Arsenal XI: Szczesny, Sagna, Djourou, Koscielny, Clichy, Song, Wilshere, Walcott, Fabregas, Nasri, van Persie

The Wanderers welcome back in-form striker Daniel Sturridge, who was cup-tied for the Stoke game, and Matty Taylor earns a start in midfield. Jack Wilshere comes back in after being rested in the North London derby, with Abou Diaby making way.

    Ok just say the WOlves Fulham highlights. Ill accept it is not an assist.
    However, wish they would be more consistent with their adding and deleting of assists, etc, and take some responsibility for awarding appropriate BP's

      Should be dropped for a game or two.

    Gary Cahill is very dangerous in the opposition box. Maybe Wenger wants him as a back-up striker.

                I don't accept everything everybody says, but at least it makes me think about waht I 'think' the correct approach might be and act based on that. Over 50% of what I read on here is total air. And Van Persie (c) was the % play fwiw.

      It hasn't payed off though. 6 points atm. Without Bonus. He will stay on for 60, but 6 points is hardly season changing.

      Yea, if he has grabbed 2 or 3 then what you say has some whatdoyoucallit.

    i don't know who this commentator is but he worships kevin davies to sickening levels. it's only due to a miraculous escape from a yellow he was able to throw himself into all those tackles, then spent his time in arsenal's half mis-controlling and passing it to wenger on the touch-line

    Wow. The only games that RVP has started and hasn't done anything are Blackburn (H) 0-0, Man City (H) 0-0, and Chelsea (H) 3-1, but its Chelsea. And in 3 of the 7 games he has been subbed on, he has got an assist.

    If he is fit, he is a 'Must-have' IMO. Next season hopefully he's 11m next season, a reasonable price.
