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.

    I'll put this on here again for some more votes:

    Quick Vote: Would we like to see the Fantasy Champions League system of substitutions incorporated into FPL. For those that dont know you get to choose who to substitute rather than have auto subs. Yes or No.

        Wrong!
        you get auto subs, if you make no changes, however this rule would help the avid player who has time to make changes, but would involve even more thinking and tinkering

        Unless you're RBJ's rival. Then your subs should get double the points.

    Just realised over 1/4 of the Premier League manages are from Greater Glasgow: Coyle, Ferguson, Mcleish, Kean, Moyes, Dalglish. 7 if you include Garry Mcallister just now whilst Houllier is ill.

    Surely a record?

        Well he's not, he self-identifies as Scottish; would you call Lawrenson Irish?

        Besides Coyle was born in Paisley, Greater Glasgow so my point stands.
