Gameweek 31 continues this evening with a trio of fixtures for Fantasy managers to focus on. There’s the small matter of a Manchester derby at Old Trafford, with both sides impressing defensively in recent matches – United have kept out their opponents in all but one of the last five, whilst City have registered four back-to-back shut-outs and welcome skipper Vincent Kompany back from suspension:

Elsewhere, Arsenal entertain Swansea at the Emirates, with Arsene Wenger’s side looking to bounce back from Saturday’s humiliation at the Bridge. The visitors face a tough time of it, given that the Gunners have conceded once in the last six in front of their own fans, though they are without Laurent Koscielny after the Frenchman picked up a calf injury over the weekend.

Newcastle take on Everton at St James’ Park in this evening’s other match. From a Fantasy perspective, this could be one for defensive returns – the Magpies have scored once in their last five matches without the injured Loic Remy, whilst Everton have mustered a single strike in their previous four road trips. Potentially good news for Seamus Coleman and Leighton Baines owners, then.

As always, you can look to our Twitter feed for news of tonight’s lineups, while our Dugout Discussion chatroom is open and ready to go for those looking for real-time interaction.

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

      Seeing as you have Azpi, Coleman & Zabaleta you could go cheap and boost elsewhere.

      I'm keeping the same frontline as you until after the next DGW and then maybe doing Lukaku to Rooney. Started raising the funds by doing Sissoko (what was I thinking?) to Mutch already.

      High I would say. May however be spared to run in behind spurs high line on Sunday though.

    Gutted. I went Lallana to Silva - rather than Mata to Yay - this week. That decision has cost me big.

    can I get a do-over, please?

      Lallana to silva looked obvious
      Mara with a Dgw looked worth keeping
      But Yaya absolutely trolled you and many others
      Hard luck.

      Silva still scored the same as Lallana….it could have been even worse.

      Chin up and keep fighting.

    Amazing how my level of expectancy has dropped under Moyes ,
    Before him I would be fighting and kicking every ball ,
    Now I don't fancy them in any game - it's depressing ,
    Moyes has to go please.

        I'm not a violent man in any sort of sense , I don't condone violence in any shape or size ,
        But I'm very very angry at how this whole sorry saga has evolved .
        Yes there's blame everywhere , but someone's head has to roll to kick start the whole thing ,
        It's depressing champ.

              Him and Shearer, the dream team. Chuck Russell Brand in there as well and you could dominate for years...

            I can't answer this right now ,they need to be underhand and poach an experienced manager .
            Stop the rot right now , Moyes is not up to it

    As I have gone Sturridge (c) I basically need him to get at least 1 more goal than suarez tomorrow to advance in both my cup-ties. Chances?

    Play Silva (ars) or Sterling (TOT) at the weekend?

    Leaning towards Silva because of persistent Sterling rotation risk.
