Saturdayโ€™s events kick-off with a relegation humdinger. Southampton will consider themselves close to safety as Mauricio Pochettino continues to inspire some vibrant performances but opponents Reading are fighting for survival, with three points a necessity. Throw in the fact that the Royalsโ€™ new boss, Nigel Adkins, is facing his former club and we have ourselves a tasty scenario as our amouse bouche for the Gameweek.

Three more matches follow at three oโ€™clock, with Norwich hosting Swansea, Stoke facing off against Villa and West Brom taking on Arsenal at the Hawthorns. Fantasy managers will perhaps be looking to that final clash in the main, with Santi Cazorla continuing to hoover up new owners this week ahead of his two fixtures in Gameweek 33.

Our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open for business, plying its trade by soaking up your real-time reactions as every pass, tackle and shot is played out.

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

    After success last week, I fancy a punt on another win-cast accumulator - what do you think?

    Norwich/Kamara
    Arsenal/Cazorla
    Stoke/Walters

    £5/£520

            no I'd be bringing Maloney in on wc, same as Lamps.

            Selling Theo or Caz to him was my route to Bale, but I have found a way that allows me to keep Suarez. Bar Rooney, who I have, Berba, who I will have and RvP, who I can't afford, I can't see any DGW strikers who could outscore Suarez v Reading. Maloney may only get me 2 points, but Suarez should make up for that.

    Alaba misses a penalty for Bayern Munich against Eintracht Frankfurt. Wonder if he'll be allowed to take the next one?

      Is it true that Bayern has no fixed penalty taker?

        Müller usually takes the penalties if he starts the match. If he's not on the pitch, or has only come as substitute then Alaba takes it.

        This was Alaba's first miss after two successful conversions - it hit the outside of the post and went wide. Keeper would probably have saved it anyway.

      He's benched quite often if you look at his history. Scores off the bench though.

    Best Man U cover for DGW?

    Have Rooney already and can get in RVP for Suarez if I also do Bale to Fellaini for a hit. Begs to DDG worth another hit? Not liking any United mids so defence and forwards only look good to me, right?

      Correct. Not sure either Rooney or RVP will start both games though
