Sunday brings the Gameweek to a close with a trio of matches featuring an array of Fantasy talent. Things get rolling with a pair of lunchtime kick-offs, as Villa host United and Swansea make the trip to Carrow Road to face Chris Hughton’s Norwich. That’s followed by the headline act, as Andre Villas-Boas looks to continue the Spurs revival against a Liverpool unit weakened by a string of injuries.

While the press will be focused on David Moyes, Fantasy managers will be more interested in Wayne Rooney’s performance. With a potential absence for Sergio Aguero looming, the United striker could make himself “essential” over the Christmas period if he can produce in the midlands. With Michu expected to earn a run-out at Norwich, we’ll have the opportunity to assess whether he can join both David Silva and Theo Walcott on our midfield Christmas list, while at 4pm, all eyes will be on Luis Suarez as he looks to overcome the absence of skipper Steven Gerrard and strike partner Daniel Sturridge against the Spurs back four.

Look to our Twitter feed for the latest teamsheet bulletins, while our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open and will remain available throughout today’s three fixtures.

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

    Liverpool need to score just one more now so they can let in their obligatory consolation goal when the other team don't ever look like scoring.

    Hindsight I know, but Rooney did score big at WHL and Spurs defence is hanging by a thread. Just hope he doesn't get any more, this is painful.

        Thing is, Moyes seems to be really cautious, which sucks, as he should start every game when fit. The way he played today, I would say yes.

    So the captaincies are going to form: Aguero scores, Lukaku gets a dubious assist, and Suarez outscores them both.

    Sigh.
