Some of us have been snowed in, some of us have been knocked down by winter viruses for more days than they would wish and others are just waiting for Fernando Torres to shine a light on their season. I confess, all those three are me so enough of the pity party as we’ve got one final fixture to close out gameweek sixteen.

The news that Fernando Torres wife has gone into labour (oh god, not that old chestnut again!) will cause many, myself included, to kick up a storm as Ryan Babel comes in to replace the Spanish maestro this evening. Some end to the gameweek. Teams in full are…

Liverpool XI: Reina; Johnson, Skrtel, Kyrgiakos, Konchesky; Kuyt, Meireles, Lucas, Maxi; Babel, Ngog

Villa XI: Friedel; L. Young,Dunne, Collins, Warnock; Albrighton, Clark, Hogg, Downing; Ireland; Agbonlahor

As always the Dugout Discussion is open late night today as we see what Houllier can do on his first return to Anfield.

          i'm trolling. earlier in the season i captained torres home to blackpool and some guy decided to wait until after he went off injured on 10 mins to tell me it was a stupid choice despite torres being the bookies' favourite for anytime scorer that week

    Andy are you doing an Alonso or is this real? Glad to say I don't have Torres here's hoping for Konch to bang in one from thirty yards then in a 1-0 victory. Konch to get 3BPs for such a great goal. Would finish off a good GW for me.

    Anyone know whether you can check what your emergency captain strategy was before GW16 closed? I have switched it a couple of times since GW17 started so not sure who will replace Torres for me. I hope Carroll, but could be Cashley 😐

    Stuck a fiver on Maradona being next Newcasle manager, he has said before he wanted to manage in the PL and if he stays away from the Iran job then there's a decent chance. Was 80/1 2 hours ago, wish i done it then - down to 50/1 now but still worth a gable even if some people find it mad. Maradona is mad so you just never know!
