The Gameweek gets underway at Villa Park, where United arrive to test Gerard Houllierโ€™s young, injury ravaged side.

The team news finds Patrice Evra fit and in at left-back, with Wes Brown at right-back for the injured Rafael; interestingly he is preferred to John Oโ€™Shea who remains benched. Further forward, Nani and Ji-Sung Park take the flanks with Javier Hernandez returning to partner Dimitar Berbatov up front. Despite the recent injuries and illness, itโ€™s a strong United lineup.

As for Villa, their lineup includes yet another youngster as Houllier continues to struggle with injuries, with Jonathan Hogg, who has just one appearance for the club, coming in for the injured Ciaran Clark alongside Barry Bannan in midfield. The headline from their camp however is that Gabby Agbonlahor returns to the forward line, ousting an unfortunate Nathan Delfouneso to the bench.

Things get underway in just under half an hour and as usual, weโ€™ve opened our Dugout Discussion chatroom to cover this game and todayโ€™s other kick-offs. Share your Gameweek highs and lows with other Fantasy Managers right here.

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

      In case you didn't realise, the league is longer than 2 games long, so getting 1 more point out these two games means f*ck all.

      Fact is we are 6 points clear, and probably will stay top of the league for the rest of the season, after being top since the first week.
