The Gameweek and, in all likelihood, the title race, ends at Old Trafford tonight. United play host to Aston Villa needing the three points to seal the crown, whilst the visitors turn up requiring something from the game in their ongoing battle at the foot of the table.

Fantasy managers will doubtless be looking for a United clean sheet, with more than a passing interest in the exploits of Robin Van Persie as he looks to build on his recent revival after the two-goal double Gameweek.

Our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open to steer us through the night’s events.

The team news finds Sir Alex Ferguson field another attacking lineup as he starts with Van Persie, Wayne Rooney and Shinji Kagawa once again. Ryan Giggs is recalled to midfield, shifting Phil Jones back to the defence. Both Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic miss out as Johnny Evans slots in alongside Jones at centre-back. Villa make one change in opposition – Gabby Agbonlahor returns from injury with Jordan Bowery dropping to the bench.

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

    Rooney definitely playing deep, Kagawa in behind Van Persie, Giggs wide left.
