    Despite being a utd fan i genuinely hope liverpool tear fulham a new one after their ridiculous attempt to postpone their game. They deserve a good hiding for trying to manipulate the situation.

    My team for the week:

    Adrian
    Ivanovic Coleman Mertesacker
    Mata Lallana Hazard Yaya
    Suarez Sturridge Ade

    Subs: Mannone, Terry, Ward, Noone.

    Terry missing out is a pity but I still feel I may have played Mert because Arsenal have every chance of keeping a clean sheet against United the way they played against Fulham. Chelsea are away as well.

    I'm more than happy to double up on Chelsea for the rest of the season, even on weeks with their tough fixtures. If they can keep a clean sheet away to City, then can do it against anyone. I had thought about Cech and then Demel from West Ham but Ivanovic offers alot going forward and tends to go on runs of good form where he scores well for a few games straight. In recent matches, he has been getting forward alot, hence his recent goal and assist. Terry is also due a goal at some stage. I've been saying it for weeks now but he's come close on a few occasions.

    Ivanovic and Adrian work out cheaper than Cech and Demel as a combo. I actually don't expect Adrian to keep a clean sheet tonight. West Ham have now kept three in a row so are surely due to concede eventually. That said, for the rest of the season, I think West Ham defensive cover is a necessity. I've often said I play this game based on managers as much as players and Big Sam was on SSN this morning boasting about how West Ham would be building from the back and to not expect beautiful free flowing football against Norwich tonight.

    Would you start Mata (ARS away) or Sterling (FUL away)?

    Probably Sterling, and that isn't saying alot for Mata at his current price really. A player at that price should be a no-brain starter every week.

    Sterling could end up scoring more but it'd be nuts to ever bench Mata.

    Bit annoying not having much interest in tonight's games. Have Hazard but won't be captaining him so could do with a flop. Only other player that features is Marshall and he's unlike to keep a CS based on recent form. All I can hope for is boring 1-1's with no big goalscorers!

    Am I mad to bench Rooney? I don't see United doing much at the Emirates and after conceding 5 on Saturday Arsenal's defence is going to be on it's toes. Team Below.

    Yeah you'd be mad to bench Rooney, might be as well selling him though because he is no longer worth that price.

    Why have Rooney if you're going to bench him? Of course you play him, and if you don't rate him get rid. Your £8m+ players should play every single week.

    Need to bench one of them as I'm happy with the rest of the team, which of the 3 is least likely to score points v Hull?
    Just looking at Soton's stats, they have only kept 3 clean sheets in last 18 matches, so will drop Fonte on that basis alone.
