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.

The Dugout Discussion chatroom is open and can be accessed right here.

    I know Mac saw this at the bottom of the previous page, but...

    Gareth Bale, please take note of how Antonio Valencia plays. You have the ability to do the same, so get off your infield high-horse and get back to rampaging down that left flank.

    Many thanks.

    My defence for this GW week is:

    Raylor, Senderos, Evans, (Enrique 1st Sub, Rangel 3rd Sub)

    With Senderos not playing again tonight, do I take a hit to remove him and who for, got 5.4 in the bank.

      You haven't a clue what you're talking about. He's still an incredible passer,crosser and still has the ability to beat a man but he doesn't have the legs to play out wide so he plays in the middle-feeding players through

          As someone already said- it's not easy to play a team when they have the bus parked. Giggs is at his best when he has space to pass into. Fulham are doing well to get out of their own half. That ball through to Valencia was superb. He only needs a second.

        No he does. Wide in 4-4-2 means you don't have to beat men all the time. Giggs best performances this year have come playing wide left in a 4-4-2.

        erm... i dont disagree with you, hence why i say out wide or in a 433.

        You need tackle and be more mobile to be a centre mid in a 442
