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.

    A mate who sometimes posts on here said that Hart, Milner, Barry and AJ were on a night out in Ayr on Thursday having played golf during the day at Turnberry...surely back problems are not helped by rounds of golf!!

    On another note...is 50 behind with 4 weeks to go catchable..or a bridge too far?

    Right, so I've had a good GW so far - 72 with a couple of Stoke and Danny S to play again.

    Obviously early thoughts now shift to next weeks fixtures. I have 2.5 in the bank so can either do Barton to Toure or maybe Cesc for Silva? I still have Nani, but I doubt rival in 2nd will take him out so he will probably stay to cover him.

    Thoughts are always appreciated.

        At the end of the day no one knows what is gonna happen on the weekend. I do find this site helps a bit purely when it comes to reminding me who has doubles and who is in/out but when it actually comes down to picking a player, it is a solo effort. What sacks me off though is when people come on blaming the site for picking the wrong player!! ( I have been guilty once......mr Kolarov!) - he would have never even come on to my radar without the euphoria surrounding him (even to this day).....I still don't quite get it!........anyway here is my tip of who is going to score BIG till the end of the season.......

                    True, but relatively speaking. Charlton simply would not have been the fine Manchester United ambassador he has been for so many years if he had bad character. I would put any amount of money that when Rooney goes he will not be back at Old Trafford in any sort of capacity.

        Weeks not over, I wouldnt worry about it yet. A goal and Bonus from Zamora and you could break 60.

        And yes, doubling up on Brum defense was a pretty dumb thing to do

      Double Brum defence was a big error, they were always gonna ship goal in that fixture.

      You have plenty to play again, just hope Bobby Z gets a couple.
