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.

    Weirdly, pretty much everyone I'm competing with in mini-leagues has some combination of Jevans, Rooney, Rooney (C), Valencia and Young that yields them exactly 21 pts after Toni's imminent BAPs. So this doesn't really make much difference.

        At points in the game I think he was trying to bore them to death. Only had any threat on one flank and couldn't pass through the centre. United are better than them in all areas of the pitch so could have played their natural game they're best at, 4-4-1-1. Still, they won so can't really criticize. I reckon in the context of the first loss, SAF played it very safe and looked to dominate midfield.
