Sunday delivers a double header of lip-smacking ties, as old rivals United and Liverpool clash at Old Trafford, whilst Arsenal host City in the four o’clock kick-off. With a host of big Fantasy assets on show, our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open to catch the real-time yelps and cries as events unfold.

The team news for the lunchtime kick-off finds Sir Alex Ferguson opting for the experienced pairing of Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand at the back, with Jonny Evans reportedly missing out with a hamstring problem. Elsewhere in the United lineup, Danny Welbeck is drafted in, along with Shinji Kagawa as Antonio Valencia and the rather unfortunate Javier Hernandez drop to the bench.

Visitors Liverpool make just one change: Joe Allen comes into the midfield with Jordan Henderson dropping out. Andre Wisdom again occupies the right-back role, then, with Glen Johnson deployed at left-back. Both Daniel Sturridge and the returning Fabio Borini find places on the bench.

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

        Man City are certainly thinking about selling Dzeko back to the Bundesliga (perhaps to Dortmund in the summer, if Lewandowski leaves) and have been putting him in the shop window during the winter transfer period.

        He's a class act if you build the team around him, and was excellent for Wolfsburg in their title-winning year, but loses confidence quite quickly otherwise.

    Was looking at Dzeko for next week as I ship Berba out.
    Options were:
    i) Berba to Dzeko
    ii) Berba to Fletcher
    iii) Luiz or Rafael to Gibbs (ahead of Wilcard)

    I'm leaning towards ii) at the moment.
