We can finally wave goodbye to Gameweek 20 after tonight’s events, as Spurs and Everton clash at the Lane to bring it to a conclusion. Our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open to capture your thoughts, comments and opinion in real-time as events unfold.

The same double Gameweek assets that disappointed the first time around, will now be expected to deliver with Gareth Bale and Emmanuel Adebayor once again carrying the armband for thousands of Fantasy managers.

Investment in the Everton lineup was far more modest and, with both Phil Jagielka and Leon Osman sidelined, it’s likely to be just Leighton Baines who goes into tonight’s game with Fantasy backing.

Away from the Lane, City and Liverpool clash in the first leg of their Carling Cup semi-final – a distraction perhaps, but Roberto Mancini’s teamsheet and the form of Steven Gerrard will be on the agenda for watchful Fantasy managers.

The City lineup shows no start for David Silva, with City moving quickly to offer reassurance that the inspirational Spaniard won’t be sidelined for long – it remains to be seen if he’ll make Monday’s trip to Wigan. The Liverpool lineup has Jose Enrique on the bench with Martin Kelly, drafted in; Craig Bellamy and Steven Gerrard both start, as does Andy Carroll.

At the Lane, Jake Livermore comes in for the injured Scott Parker while both Michael Dawson and Aaron Lennon earn starts. Everton recall Tim Cahill, with no place for Royston Drenthe – he’s left on the bench.

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

    A yellow for Drenthe please, for comedic value.

    So I need a 1 week punt on a 6mil or less midfielder before I WC.

    Surely Cabaye is the best option?

    2126: A big penalty shout by Everton. Royston Drenthe goes past Younes Kaboul in the area and goes to ground. Kaboul definitely made contact and that looked like a spot-kick to me. Referee Martin Atkinson thinks otherwise.

        because he's done well for me since I had him, and this GW has only increased the love.

        It just means I'll have to sacrifice Clint or Schwarzer to keep him.
