Gameweek 25 reaches a conclusion with Sunday’s programme, as we’re treated to two televised affairs to round things off. West Brom host Spurs in the lunchtime encounter, with Gareth Bale carrying the Fantasy football hopes for many as he looks to build on his midweek strike at Carrow Road. Later this afternoon, Man City will attempt to close the gap on United after their win at Craven Cottage. Roberto Mancini’s side take on Liverpool at the Etithad, with Fantasy managers scouting for double Gameweek assets as Brendan Rodgers’ side come under the microscope.

Our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open and will remain so throughout the day to provide another option for those looking to express themselves over the course of the day’s games.

The team news from the Hawthorns finds the home side field both Shane Long and Romelu Lukaku for just the second time this season. Claudio Yacob makes a return from injury to start having returned to the bench in the week, while Steven Reid also gets the nod at right-back: Jerome Thomas and Billy Jones drop to the bench while George Thorne is out through injury. Visitors Spurs are unchanged from the starting XI which took on Norwich in the week; Lewis Holtby again starts on the bench, then, while Benoit Assou-Ekotto and Michael Dawson keep their starts in defence.

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

    I was really quite down about selling Mignolet last week as I felt I'd not only sold the wrong keeper but I'd betrayed by loyalties a bit as a Sunderland fan...that I didn't go with my gut and back my own team.

    But the funny thing now is...if I'd got Migs I would have played him twice in a row and got 8 points. But because I got Bunn/Bego...I've now got 13 points from 2 games.

    Depression lifted 🙂

    Two teams are going to regret not getting another striker in the transfer window.

    Tottenham and QPR.

    Tottenham will be OK but that decision not to strengthen an area of need of friggin epic proportions will send QPR down.
