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.

    Danny Simpson is my highest scoring player this GW, and he's firmly rooted in the 3rd sub position. I really thought Young would tear it up on the left this evening, Damn you Lord Ferg. 😥

        Obviously not as good as he was in his prime, still sublime passing though.

    This Rooney dropping deep isn't working. He just does the most basic things when he plays there that Scholes is capable of doing. Get up front and cause the defenders some problems. He is coasting in that role.
