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.

        Tbh I'm probably not going there again, I've been scarred bad...i just want that to be the case...and I agree Di Matteo would be good. Chelsea under him were pretty great attacking wise. I don't buy this 'the new players need time to gel', spurs were like this last season, avb started well (win at old trafford for example) but this calender year mainly they've never look like scoring.

          He's just never responded to what's playing out in front of his eyes. Totally tactically inflexible with the inverted wingers and incapable of man management. Incapable of grand strategy. Prioritized Europa over 4th place last year.
