The Gameweek and, in all likelihood, the title race, ends at Old Trafford tonight. United play host to Aston Villa needing the three points to seal the crown, whilst the visitors turn up requiring something from the game in their ongoing battle at the foot of the table.

Fantasy managers will doubtless be looking for a United clean sheet, with more than a passing interest in the exploits of Robin Van Persie as he looks to build on his recent revival after the two-goal double Gameweek.

Our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open to steer us through the night’s events.

The team news finds Sir Alex Ferguson field another attacking lineup as he starts with Van Persie, Wayne Rooney and Shinji Kagawa once again. Ryan Giggs is recalled to midfield, shifting Phil Jones back to the defence. Both Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic miss out as Johnny Evans slots in alongside Jones at centre-back. Villa make one change in opposition – Gabby Agbonlahor returns from injury with Jordan Bowery dropping to the bench.

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

    Hello all you lovely people.

    Bit off-topic given tonight's events, but does anyone know where I could access old Fantasy Football scores/points/players...like some sort of archive?

    I want to prove a point that Ferreria was once a legitimate pick in defense. 🙂

    With RVP's Golden boot already in now, Ferguson should bench him next week.

    Will he want to put him in that position?

    Score against the club he still respects and dent their title chances?

      I have a sneaky feeling he won't play. Why would ferguson put him in that position. He still loves arsenal, golden boot under wraps, title under wraps, old club fighting for a cl spot - why not give Hernandez a shot, give rvp and roo the week off to drink and celebrate.

        He will play ome games to keep the fans happy inspite of their imminent ticket price increase. But after 34 games played with 4 in last 2 weeks away against old team during a week where he wants to celebrate and be with family - I would say is right time to give him a rest. He's no spring chicken you know.

        It sends the message that you should spend money and win titles. That way instead of losing your best players at end of each season, you could let them chill and be happy while all other teams are stressing over bllshit.

          agree... why would he want to continue connection to a flea bag dog like Suarez. Evra is a disgraceful option as captain. give a young guy the armband

            It's the worst timing possible to rekindle the fire. Beat a man when he's down in a sh*thole.

            Classy, Patrice.

          How is that being a legend? Blimey, he's still dragging that incident out.. He should be a professional and put himself above it. His team have just won the title and he's still making himself centre of attention over something that happened ages ago.
