Last Minute Gameweek 27 Tips
With less than 24 hours until the deadline, check out all of the community Gameweek 27 tips.
Injury News
There’s worrying news for Arsenal fans, as Cech is struggling to regain fitness in time for the North London Derby. Harry Kane owners will be keeping a close eye on this news from Ben Dinnery. Does a depleted Arsenal defence make Kane the optimal Gameweek 27 tip for your captain’s armband?
Wenger reveals Petr Cech [calf] is a doubt for the NLD. "I don't know if he will be available." The goalkeeper is yet to train and Ospina is being readied. Monreal [illness] looks to be okay while Danny Welbeck could return to the matchday day squad. #AFC
