Gameweek 23 gets underway this evening with six matches to entertain us. United welcome Cardiff to Old Trafford, where Juan Mata and Robin Van Persie both start, though Wayne Rooney is handed a place on the bench:

Aaron Ramsey fails to make the Arsenal squad as the league leaders head to St Mary’s, whilst in the other 7.45pm kick-offs, Newcastle roll up to Norwich without Yohan Cabaye and Wilfried Bony hopes to wreak havoc on Fulham’s porous defence.

In the two 8pm matches, Luis Suarez holds the armband hopes of many as Liverpool entertain neighbours Everton at Anfield – the big new is both Seamus Coleman and Phil Jagielka miss out for the Toffees. Elsewhere, promoted pair Palace and Hull go head-to-head at Tony Pulis’ new fortress, Selhurst Park.

As always, we have opened up the Dugout Discussion chatroom until the end of this evening’s action.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    "Stephen Quinn (Hull City) gets the ball from a rebound and fires a terific long-range shot towards the net. But unfortunately for him, it sails narrowly wide of the right post. Unlucky finish. None of the defensive players touched the ball. It's going to be a goal kick."

    PHEW!

          Pretty happy I held on to my JWC. Players from my team who have so far featured this round:

          Speroni, Ward, Puncheon, Giroud, Suarez.

          6 to play, 44 pre-baps and -4 hit. On my fast count 52 after baps and hit. That's significantly better than anybody else in my ML top-10 is doing, so I'm content.
