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.

      Two people (in 2nd and 3rd in my ML and in the top 10k) don't have him. Jones for one guy and no Utd defender for another. Crazy people.

    Damn you Rafa you tempt me you do.

    But I trust Evans, Caulker and Verm more than Schwarzer so De Gea it is. Rafa could still be rotated for Smalling/Jones

        Much as I'd like Tony V, owning him now messes up all my plans, as does Rafa. De Gea is still my man.
