Unlucky for some? We’ll see what Gameweek 13 brings.

It all kicks off at the Stadium of Light, a game which, on paper, looks a tight affair, short on goal action. However, the Black Cats have their tails up after the win at the Cottage on Sunday and will surely approach the clash in-form West Brom with some confidence. With Fantasy managers eyeing up double Gameweek assets, the Sunderland lineup will be under scrutiny.

After this, we have five more encounters to come, including United’s home clash with QPR, a potential bloodbath, although with Harry’s presence already looming over the Loftus Road gang, we might just see some resistance from the basement club. With the Gunners closing matters at Villa Park this evening, we’ll have our Dugout Discussion chatroom open throughout the day to catch your reaction to events in real-time.

The Team News from the North East finds the home side unchanged from the lineup that earned the points against 10-man Fulham. The Baggies bring back Gareth McAuley from injury to replace Garbriel Tamas at the back, while Chris Brunt is the man to fill the void left by the injured Youssouf Mulumbu.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    United have too many players trying to be the end product and not enough trying to create...

    I think Welbeck has to come off for some midfield creativity...

    OK, I would just like to make 2 points:

    1 - That staute of Ferguson is pathetic. Although it is a great gesture, the likeness is extremely poor.

    2 - RVP is a complete & utter bastard. First he left Arsenal, then as soon as I put him in my fantasy team, he plays crap... 2.5 games = 1 assist in total. Against crap teams too.

    Thank you.
