The Gameweek gets underway at Villa Park, where United arrive to test Gerard Houllier’s young, injury ravaged side.

The team news finds Patrice Evra fit and in at left-back, with Wes Brown at right-back for the injured Rafael; interestingly he is preferred to John O’Shea who remains benched. Further forward, Nani and Ji-Sung Park take the flanks with Javier Hernandez returning to partner Dimitar Berbatov up front. Despite the recent injuries and illness, it’s a strong United lineup.

As for Villa, their lineup includes yet another youngster as Houllier continues to struggle with injuries, with Jonathan Hogg, who has just one appearance for the club, coming in for the injured Ciaran Clark alongside Barry Bannan in midfield. The headline from their camp however is that Gabby Agbonlahor returns to the forward line, ousting an unfortunate Nathan Delfouneso to the bench.

Things get underway in just under half an hour and as usual, we’ve opened our Dugout Discussion chatroom to cover this game and today’s other kick-offs. Share your Gameweek highs and lows with other Fantasy Managers right here.

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

    I have no money on this, or fantasy points at stake, but Villa have been amazing - an absolute joy to watch! Pace, energy, determination. They have made this a superb second half.

            Villa have been excellent today, no doubt about it. Youth team too. No quarrels about it, we're poo today but if you think it's all over you are mistaken 🙂
