Gameweek 27 concludes with three matches that address both title ambitions and relegation concerns.

Liverpool’s credentials as title challengers will come under the spotlight as they clash with Swansea at Anfield. The visitors come into the game potentially leg weary after their fine performance against Napoli in the Europa League on Thursday. In contrast, Brendan Rodgers side will be fresh and looking build on their last two home appearances which has seen them claim nine goals against the Everton and Arsenal defences.

Elsewhere, Newcastle will be looking to stem the tide of three straight defeats without a goal as they face up to Villa at St James’ Park. Paul Lambert’s side will be seeking to come away from the North East with at least a point to consolidate their position outside of the relegation places.

Events then conclude at Carrow Road, with Norwich battling to keep themselves out of the bottom three and hoping to get a result against a Totteham outfit that struck four goals on their last away trip at Newcastle.

Look to our Twitter feed for all the lineup news, while our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open for those looking to partake in some real-time banter.

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

      suarez shoots, it's blocked by williams, it then falls to henderson who shoots, vorm saves and henderson scores the rebound.
      henderson had to score with his first shot for the assist to stand

      it's verging on telling someone immediately after their relative has died that they are foolish for being related to that person when they could have been related to someone in better health over the last month. even if it's true maybe wait a day or 2 at least

    Is it worth getting in Sturbridge today before more rises? Gw29 strikers are a bit thin on the ground anyway.

    Bentaleb seems a decent 5th mid option. Pozuelo for him? Has a fix gw29 too...

          There really are no good options at all for that price. I was thinking about Meyler 😯

          Go for it

    Poor decisions from me this week. Sold Bony for Lambert and kept Eriksen, albeit I benched him for Noone. Villa concede in stoppage time and I lose my Vlaar CS and probable maximum BPs

    Team for next week:

    Boruc
    Azpilicueta / Koscielny / ?Gabbidon? / Bertrand
    Hazard / Gerrard / Puncheon / Zaha
    Suárez / Sturridge (c)

    Bench: Mannone[X] / Chambers / Mata[X] / van Persie[X]

    +0.4m, 2fts

    I want rid of Zaha, but he has a GW29 game so it's probably a stupid idea.
    Gabbidon->Molsson the best move iyo?

      Yes.

      Also, I don't think you should C Studge. Relying too much on Pool attacking cover and Soton might will have Lovren back. They let in 3 themselves so would be keen on sorting that defence out. That game also looks like the kind of game Pool might not do well in

      Looks good GB

      Any idea on what to do with my team for next GW

      Team ATM is

      Marshall Mannone
      Coleman Ward Burner Clyne Ivanovic
      Hazard Lallana Eriksen Pozuelo Mata
      Suarez Sturridge Adebayor

      I have 0.7 ITB and 1 FT

      I have some options on transfers to do but do you have any ideas?

      Should I do

      A) Marshall ➡ Adrian
      B) Burner ➡ someone ( Burner doesn't have blank in GW 29 )
      C) Eriksen/Pozuelo ➡ Nolan
      D) Clyne ➡ Chambers
      E) Save FT for the moment
      F) Any suggestions?

      Cheers in advance 🙂

        Depends on how many players you have for the next two gameweeks. I'm not working it out 🙂

        It's just a matter of filling in the gaps as best you can to field 11.

            Was thinking Clyne -> MOlsson but should I get rid of Clyne with my 1 FT this week. Personally I think it is the best option

            Cheers for the reply BTW, much appreciated
