Saturday’s afternoon action is focused mainly on the foot of the table as the likes of Fulham, Hull, West Brom and Aston Villa all face crunchy fixtures. The quartet of three o’clock kick-offs will do their best to hold our attention, before our focus switches to Old Trafford as a desperate Norwich arrive to take on Ryan Giggs’ United.

It has to be said, Fantasy talent is at premium and perhaps limited to Christian Eriksen’s display at Stoke and Wilfried Bony’s quest for further goals at home to Villa. In the main, we’ll save our energies for the tea-time clash as we get to assess the impact of David Moyes’ departure and the “Giggs’ effect” on the Red Devils. With a double fixture looming in Gameweek 37, the Old Trafford teamsheet will be of keen interest, as will the performance from United’s key attacking assets.

Full details of the day’s starting lineups can be found via our Twitter feed, while the Dugout Discussion chatroom remains opens for those looking to indulge in some real-time banter.

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

    absolutely no point relying on pace against a team who will have 1 player in your half....

      Did you watch Liverpool vs Norwich last week? I guess not, Norwich were attacking all game and leaving holes in the back. If they dont win this they are relegated, so I cant see why they would park the bus

          (as in, yes i watched it, but don't spout such nonsense - they aren't relegated if they lose, and they know what to expect today, so will be set up for the break themselves)

        Mata owners - lets wait until full time before getting disappointed. Yes it's stupid that he isn't starting but he can still come on and score some points. He'll probably be angry that he's been dropped and will want to prove his worth when he comes on. He's the type of player that doesn't need 90 mins to assist/score so there's still hope

                Nope, had a feeling he'd get 13, but Rooney and Aguero have a higher ceiling than that and have DGWs coming up, and Podolski could get a hattrick vs Newcastle so I took the risk on him..

              Yup, although they will be smashed in their next game.

            So, 5pts from 2 (-8)

            13 from 3 with (C) to go but with a -8! Still outscored my main rival so far even taking into account the hit and he has played 4! The joy of him playing both Baines and Coleman 🙂
