Restricted to just ten matches, Gameweek 32 looks set to be an inevitable anti-climax after the recent triple-figure hauls. Nonetheless, with the double Gameweek chatter postponed, at least for a while, it’s almost comforting to return to the old routine – an early kick-off, the evening live match and a couple of Sunday joints to see the Gameweek out.

Today’s events promise to make an inauspicious start as we drop in on Old Trafford to witness a United side beleaguered by the midweek defeat to City and with one eye firmly on the clash with Bayern to come. It’s difficult to know what kind of performance that will produce from David Moyes’ men, although with pressure mounting, it’s hard to imagine that the Scot can afford to put out a side stuck in third gear. Villa will provide a test – Paul Lambert’s outfit are an effective animal on their travels and, in Christian Benteke, have a destructive force that can deal damage to a hesitant United back line.

This is all followed by five three o’clock matches, with Arsenal’s tea-time meeting with City to follow.

You can look to our Twitter feed for the news from the teamsheets, while our Dugout Discussion chatroom is open for those who like to dabble in some real-time banter.

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

    A bit early I know, but what do you think about the following moves:

    AJ, Sterling & Shaw -> Nasri, Barkley & Williamson (-4)

    (Shaw to Wiliamson in order to afford it, I'll only need one of them for a game or two)

        Yeah, in comparison to them he hasn't been as bad. Never got benched and picked up some assists initially. It's just those couple of games when he seemed so harmless on the right wing

        Silva quietly flies under the radar, 5th on points per game for midfielders and barely behind Hazard and Gerrard for points per game.

        At least he doesn't get regularly benched like Oscar
