After last week’s reduced fixture list we are back to a full schedule of games for Gameweek 30. The action starts at the KC Stadium where Hull City square up to Manchester City, who will be looking to bounce back after their Champions League exit in midweek.

Today’s match is the first of three that City have in hand over their title rivals Chelsea and a victory is vital if they hope to catch Jose Mourinho’s charges. Going into the match just five points outside of the relegation zone, Steve Bruce’s Hull will be looking for a strong finish to the season to ensure they avoid being dragged into a relegation dog fight.

Our Twitter feed offers up all the news from today’s teamsheets, while those wishing to indulge in some real-time exchange of views can do so via our Dugout Discussion chatroom.

        I already had him, which means I'll likely ship him next week.

        If the fixtures were the other way round (I.e. he missed the United game) I'd probably just keep. But not worth it for an away trip to United, when there are teams playing twice. Will cost me 4 points, mind!

        Haven't even thought about his replacement tbh. Maybe not even his cheaper replacement...

    This is very tough isn't it for next week. Do you transfer out proven points scorers like Lallana, Chelsea players etc who have tough single GWs?

    Thinking at the moment either:
    A) Lallana and Rodriguez out with Rooney and Gerrard coming in.
    B) Puncheon, Lallana and Rodriguez out with Yaya, Lukaku and Nolan/AJ coming in.

        Cheers - it's probably obvious but B is for -4 whereas A is free.

        I'm just not particularly attracted to Nolan or AJ as long term options, but AJ's doubles are ludicrous so I guess he is probably an 8-week season keeper.

      I'm interested, yeah. Dunno if I'll take a hit for him next week, but he's got be on the short list of defenders with the most potential the rest of the season.

    As a non-owner, i'd be pleased with nothing more than 6 points for Yaya now, which looks like very likely

          You would expect the defenders to get more BPSif they keep a cleanie, or the anyone who score for hull

            He got bonus in the Chelsea game (1-0) despite losing. Anything's possible with Yaya

      I'd be quite happy with that as a new owner too so suits all parties

    I know nobody owns any Fulham players but I'd expect a different team to normal this week. Magath has said he's going to play a few of our young players. Pat Roberts has been training with the first team, he's an unbelievable talent.

    Sheesh. Just getting in to see the Kompany red card. Kept him on my bench for his blanks just for the DGW and now there goes my CS potential this week and completely ruins my plans for next! Grrr....
