It’s Monday night and champions Manchester United frequent our screens once more – this week away at struggling Blackburn Rovers. The Dugout Discussion opens to see Gameweek 31 wrap up, and the team news is in…

Blackburn XI: Robinson, Lowe, Dann, Grant Hanley, Martin Olsson, Orr, Pedersen, Nzonzi, Marcus Olsson, Hoilett, Yakubu.

Man Utd XI: De Gea, Rafael Da Silva, Evans, Ferdinand, Evra, Carrick, Scholes, Jones, Valencia, Hernandez, Rooney.

Steve Kean makes one change from the side that lost to Bolton, with Bradley Orr coming in for Mauro Formica.

Three changes for the visitors see Ryan Giggs, Ashley Young and Danny Welbeck all miss out to Phil Jones, Paul Scholes and Javier Hernandez.

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

    Sigh. I had the choice of Gerrard or Valencia a couple of weeks ago. Should have went with my gut and got Val in. Terrible decision.

    Makes my midfield transfers for GW34 and GW36 planning very hard now:

    Bale - keep DGW
    Valencia - keep on fire
    Miyachi - keep DGW
    Walcott - most likely to go > Siggy (save cash to get Baines)
    Dempsey - keep DGW

        Agreed, Bale-Valencia-Siggy looking very good. McLean is brilliant value for money too. Dempsey, given fixtures, might be the one to go, but even he could be OOP from now on with Pog injured.

        Great midfield, I'd stick if I were you.
