Feeling the strain with one hour to go? With the comment boards sucking up last minute queries, you can get your answers and opinions a whole lot quicker by setting your browsers over to our live “Matchday Surgery” chatroom.

With this morning’s revelations (to me at least) that Charlie Adam is a major doubt, I’ve some thinking to do and may need your help. One thing I have decided on is to draft in Cesc Fabregas, what with the Scout Debate, the Scout Picks and the captains poll (55% for the Arsenal man) all indicating that I should.

The room is now open and accepting new arrivals – join the support group here.

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

    Anyhow not sure nasri is the reliable choice for regular points, i rather punt on walcot next week, might just do that.

    Anyone else hate having a captain playing in the early saturday kick off game?

    Its great if he scores well, but if he doesn't then it pretty much scuppers your game week.
