Premier League champions Manchester United close out Gameweek 30 at home to Fulham. With a seemingly routine opportunity to open a three-point gap over city rivals, the Dugout Discussion opens to witness the potential fantasy points feast.

The team news for the clash at Old Trafford is in. Here is how the two sides line-up…

Man Utd XI: De Gea, Evra, Ferdinand, Evans, Rafael, Carrick, Giggs, Valencia, Rooney, Young, Welbeck.

Fulham XI: Schwarzer, Kelly, JA Riise, Hangeland, Hughes, Diarra, Dempsey, Pogrebnyak, Duff, Frei, Dembele.

Sir Alex makes two changes from the eleven that battered Wolves last week, with Ryan Giggs and Ashley Young replacing Paul Scholes and Javier Hernandez respectively.

Three changes for the visitors with Aaron Hughes, Kerim Frei and Damian Duff coming in for Philippe Senderos, Andrew Johnson and Bryan Ruiz.

        read and analyse the comment properly.

        A) Just because you're winning one nil doesnt mean your final ball has been poor throughout the match, which it has.
        B) I said "today", i didnt say throughout the whole season, did I?

        High horse much?

          Over dramatic much? Read and analyse your comment. You said "Hi I play for United and today my final ball is going to be w**k." sounds like something a caveman would say mate, not exactly top quality analysis of United's final ball is it? You could have worded it better....sound like a ten your old, leading me to believe you are sour. Young was poor enough but Giggs put Valencia through with a stunning ball and Valencia created chance after chance, Fulham defended well and Schwarzer made some great saves. Why wouldn't I be on my high horse? We're top of the league so I'm pretty much delighted, as you would be if your team were top of the league.

            Sorry, I didnt realise this was a website where I was required to give a fully detailed analysis of United's final third play rather than just giving a comment of how I feel their play was around the penalty area. And I still believe, that yes, it was very poor, lots of missed placed passes and overhit ones, particularly by Giggs.

        Media perception. Look at the stats for disallowed pens/red cards. Allowing for a margin of error, it's the same all over.
