City’s comfortable win at the Liberty rolls us into another nine Premier League encounters, with eight three o’clock kick-offs and United’s Old Trafford clash with Tottenham rounding off Gameweek 20.

Arsenal are top of the bill as they welcome Cardiff to the Emirates, where the main issue around these parts focuses on Theo Walcott’s availability – as illustrated by our team news tweets, it’s good news on that front .

Elsewhere, Chelsea roll up to St Mary’s with Eden Hazard hoping to continue his superb festive form. The Belgian is on the search for a third consecutive set of double figures, having notched against Swansea and Liverpool.

Palace attempt to register a fourth clean sheet in five at Selhurst Park against Chris Hughton’s Norwich, while Sunderland are looking for a fourth shut-out in five Gameweeks as Villa make their way to Wearside. The crunch match at the Cottage finds Fulham and West Ham looking to take advantage of suspect defences in an encounter that could bring some differentials to the fore.

Those still holding Romelu Lukaku will be hoping the big Belgian embarks on a scoring spree away to Stoke, having ended his barren run at home to Southampton last weekend. Meanwhile, Yohan Cabaye’s new band of owners will be looking for an instant impact away to West Brom, with the Baggies have conceded three against goal-shy West Ham on Saturday.

This leads us into the final match of the Gameweek, where United take on Tottenham. Yet again, David Moyes failed to clarify his side’s injury situation, leaving Wayne Rooney’s owners desperately hoping the Red Devils’ boss is playing cagey once again.

News on that and the other teamsheet tittle tattle cna be found in our Twitter feed, while our Dugout Discussion chatroom remains open for those looking for a spot of real-time banter as the action and points build.

    How did Januzaj get the assist?

    From BBC

    "But Manchester United respond instantly! Javier Hernandez plays a clever pass through for Danny Welbeck who is in behind, and his finish is immaculate, clipping the ball over Hugo Lloris and into the net. Great game on our hands here..."
