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.

    I hope Utd play on Mondays for the rest of the season - literally saving my arse for the past two weeks.

    If Rooney doesn't get you, Valencia will.

    Tony V for the 3 bonus - lovely.

        Valencia was United's best player by far...scores a goal and gets an assist..where's your logic?

          You're 1 ahead, that's all that counts. My plans are sorted for these weeks (as in I don't have a plan). Got an XI for 34 and don't fancy any team bar Spurs so not much to do really!

            Haha annoyingly I'm concentrating more on another ML which wins me money, otherwise I'd change my team up a bit more...although this team is pretty much win 😀

            Nice, I'll probably have 10 or 11 for GW34, not too sure yet but got a rough idea. Same thoughts on the DGW, I said after the Bolton game Spurs would fight back and they have done, reckon they should keep it up and they easily have best fixtures.

            Think it'll be captain choice as the most pivotal aspect!

        I'm no expert at predicting baps, but surely Young didn't play enough minutes to take the 2bps from Rafael? Cleansheet + assist surely gives it to him.

        Young maybe 1pt I'd have thought.

          I'd hope so, that's what I thought but gave Young because of the goal.

          Would hope Rafael gets the 2 though, helps me out in ML.
