The Gameweek gets underway at Villa Park, where United arrive to test Gerard Houllier’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 O’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, it’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, we’ve opened our Dugout Discussion chatroom to cover this game and today’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.

          Hernandez was total rubbish as well, smalling was a better forward than him. Seems the hype was a little excessive. His touch even after he was in control of it was woeful.

          Shouldn't have had any players sent off.

          1) Rio was last man, not Brown.
          2) Nani's was never a red.
          3) You never get a second yellow for celebrating with the fans.

                Why the hell was it funny? Refs being biased towards Utd yet again isn't particularly funny in my eyes.

                I'm finished now though, unless some 7 year old Utd fan says something retarded again.

                  It's funny because even though you give the illusion of intelligence you can't see the truth staring you in the face: That it was another excellent utd comeback, and instead of realising that your CfC biased brain tries to validate the confusion by crying about refs. There are thousands of incidents i could highlight about utd not getting the rub of the green with refs, but it's a pointless argument because you choose to see it as you choose to see it.

                  Fact is it was an excellent comeback and point when playing so badly, and the true kicker for you, that's the result champions get. Thank you and goodnight.
