There may only be one Premier League fixture tonight but it’s one of huge significance, both for our Fantasy Football fortunes and on the destination of the Premier League title. Manchester United are the visitors, and Chelsea are the hosts.

With Chelsea fifteen points adrift and having a turbulent season, it’s United who are looking to edge closer to that 19th Premier League trophy. More importantly of course, it’s United who are featuring in their second game of the gameweek, meaning most of us are loaded up with their players.

The Dugout Discussion chatroom is open for business, and the team sheets are in…

Chelsea XI: Cech, Ivanovic, David Luiz, Terry, Cole, Essien, Lampard, Ramires, Anelka, Torres, Malouda

Man United XI: Van der Sar, O’Shea, Smalling, Vidic, Evra, Fletcher, Carrick, Scholes, Nani, Hernandez, Rooney

Sir Alex has named his first unchanged team since May 2008 (thanks Shreevesy), meaning Dimitar Berbatov is once again left in favour of Mexican sensation Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez.

As for the Champions, and they also leave a big name striker on the bench in Didier Drogba, with Carlo Ancelotti clearly hoping Fernando Torres’ supposed hoodoo over Nemanja Vidic surfaces tonight.

      Yeah. He was all over the pitch, which is a great thing for FPL but a somewhat dangerous thing for a real footballing side.

      Does he really have license to roam so freely trying to break up attacks everywhere? If he's overplayed Terry is obviously left alone, and Ancelotti won't want that to happen too often each game.

    90 points...sweeeet. Moral of the story - I'd rather fail with a team I'm confident with and take hits than settle for mediocrity without points hits. Unfortunately, I did the latter for most of the season.

      Take the long term absentees out first and try to field 11. That means an eight point hit, if noone plays. RVP,Kelly and Cahill (if 3 weeks confirmed). You could get Zigic,Baines and Nasri or Lamps (if you have the funds)
