Gameweek 27 concludes with three matches that address both title ambitions and relegation concerns.

Liverpool’s credentials as title challengers will come under the spotlight as they clash with Swansea at Anfield. The visitors come into the game potentially leg weary after their fine performance against Napoli in the Europa League on Thursday. In contrast, Brendan Rodgers side will be fresh and looking build on their last two home appearances which has seen them claim nine goals against the Everton and Arsenal defences.

Elsewhere, Newcastle will be looking to stem the tide of three straight defeats without a goal as they face up to Villa at St James’ Park. Paul Lambert’s side will be seeking to come away from the North East with at least a point to consolidate their position outside of the relegation places.

Events then conclude at Carrow Road, with Norwich battling to keep themselves out of the bottom three and hoping to get a result against a Totteham outfit that struck four goals on their last away trip at Newcastle.

Look to our Twitter feed for all the lineup news, while our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open for those looking to partake in some real-time banter.

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

    Granville, as you're on, I'd forgotten how unpleasant this site gets over the weekend, particularly during matches (serial gloating, LOL@ Suarez owners, "90 points, is that good?"etc.).

    I know you're averse to introducing a forum system, but it does seem unfortunate that the comments section is totally unusable during the two-day period when most people want to look at it.

    Any solutions in mind?

    Not taking into account Sturridge eating up his goals.. but fixtures do not fall in his favour.
    Southampton away
    BLANK
    Man United away
    Cardiff Away
    Tottenham home
    WHU away
    City home
    Norwich away
    Chelsea home
    Palace away
    Newcastle home

    look at all those away games.. home ties all wasted up on tough opponents.
    Adebayor - Aguero - Sturridge for me.. bulk on my backline and midfield with the cash.

      i think one of suarez/sturridge may need to go for one of rvp/rooney. presuming you want aguero you then have 2 players with those fixtures.
      lots will depend on where the liverpool dgw falls, as it's a good fixture that needs fitting in
