After Wayne Rooney grabbed a goal and assist during United’s win at the KC earlier, itโ€™s time to concentrate on a further feast of football this Boxing Day. Weโ€™re served up another nine games, with all but one of those kicking off at 3pm:

Romelu Lukaku earned third spot in this weekโ€™s Captain Poll ahead of Evertonโ€™s home clash against Sunderland. The big Belgian may have failed to find the net in the last four but with Wes Brown suspended and John Oโ€™Shea a doubt, heโ€™ll be hoping for a return to form.

Spurs welcome West Brom to the Lane as Emmanuel Adebayor (who finished fourth in the Captain Poll) looks to repeat last Sundayโ€™s brace against Southampton. Chelsea play host to Swansea, with Eden Hazard also carrying the armband hopes of many Fantasy managers into the Gameweek, as will Theo Walcott for Arsenalโ€™s trip to West Ham.

Yohan Cabayeโ€™s new owners will be looking for the Frenchman to maintain the consistency which has served up returns in eight of 12 appearances as Newcastle welcome Stoke to St Jamesโ€™ Park. Elsewhere, Villa play host to Palace, Cardiff go head-to-head with Southampton, whilst Norwich welcome Fulham to Carrow Road.

This leads us on to the final match of the Gameweek, where Cityโ€™s 100% home record is on the line against Liverpool. The Fantasy sub-plot is intriguing โ€“ can Yaya Toure, David Silva and Alvaro Negredo produce the goods at the Etihad yet again? And just how many points will Luis Suarez rack up against a defence that has conceded three times to Arsenal and twice to both West Brom and Fulham in the last four Gameweeks alone?

If thereโ€™s one thing that seems certain, the evening encounter at the Etihad looks set to bring goals aplenty. Our Dugout Discussion chatroom remains open for those looking for some real-time banter right up until the final whistle of that last match.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter
