Manchester United once again beckon in the new Gameweek, this time playing host to Newcastle United in a 12.45pm kick-off. The Red Devils go in search of their third successive victory, while the Magpies look to bounce back from a 2-0 defeat against Swansea last time out.

Man United recorded just six clean sheets at Old Trafford in the previous campaign but have yet to concede this season. Louis van Gaal’s charges restricted opposing teams to just one big chance over the opening two Gameweeks, underlining their disciplined start at the back.

In contrast, the Magpies have been breached on four occasions already and will have to do without suspended right-back Daryl Janmaat during their visit to Manchester. Those Fantasy managers who’ve invested in their forward line will be concerned by the fact that no side has fashioned fewer attempts inside the box (seven) than the Tynesiders.

    Memphis shot straight at Krul.

    He's roasting Mbemba today.

    @Squawka: Wayne Rooney has had 2 shots on target in a Premier League game for the first time since 28th February vs Sunderland.

    Krul already on 6 saves... Wowza.

    1. FISSH
      • 13 Years

  6. Billy Gilmore

    1. OPTA FPL
      • 14 Years

    2. ​

    3. Rödallegabomb á´¿á´®
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Memphis for sure.

  7. Randy_Marsh
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Memphis is the real deal

  8. FISSH
    • 13 Years

    Depay seems like the player who just hits the ball at goal. Scores some screamers and has some terrible shots

    1. Billy Gilmore
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      A glorified Taarabt?

        Ah now that's harsh 🙂

  9. dcarlito

    Depay is buzzing. Needs to lift the head and see the pass though. Looking like he'll score though.

    Hernandez's look

    Anyone else watching BTSport online? My stream keeps stuttering! On 100MB Virgin connection and good spec laptop. Maybe if they invested more in technology than loads of presenters they'd make it good!

    1. Thick Of It
      • 13 Years

      Until recently plenty of Sky viewers had problems watching the BT Sport channels due to the crap frequency they were on, their online services are arguably worse.

      I'm watching it via the BT Sport app, steaming to my Apple TV and it's fine (~7MBps internet too).

        10 years, 8 months ago

        Hmm, I wish I hadn't sold my Apple TV now ðŸ™

    The Banter in the Arsenal changing room is the best in the world

    Memphis has the decision making skills of a brain-damaged sea otter

    1. Thick Of It
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      He is just hard wired to shoot, no real passing option.

  21. Costa in Wengerland
    • 14 Years

    Like the Batias Goal ( Sheff wed )

  22. FPL Daniel

    10 years, 8 months ago

    @Daniel, here's the radio link http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b066t4xt

    It's bloody annoying though - every 5 minutes they go off for cricket / athletics coverage

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Thank you Reedy. You are real chap 😉

  25. Lyonnais

    Mata never passes to Darmian

    1. Nascimento
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Darmian's probably one of the weakest in the team on the ball but I absolutely love the way he wins it back. Reminds me of Maldini. Going to be a real quality signing.

  26. 50shades of o'shea

    That header just shows that Newcastle aren't out of this. I still don't trust the Man U defence

  27. Touré De Force
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Come on Toon! If they can hold out for another 10 they might get in to this

  28. ​
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    6 shots, only 1 inside the box. Long range pepper spray from United so far

  29. Venom Snake

    OMG MEMPHIS WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!

      1. ​
