After Everton’s 4-0 hammering of Man City at Goodison, we head over to Old Trafford for the final match of Gameweek 21.

As expected, Zlatan Ibrahimovic has recovered from illness to take his place in the Man United starting XI against Liverpool.

The most captained player for this round of fixtures, United’s frontman has been handed the armband by over 18% of Fantasy Premier League managers on the back of nine goals and four assists in his last nine league outings.

With the schedule smiling kindly on Jose Mourinho’s men from next week onwards, Paul Pogba – with two goals and a pair of assists in five – has the chance to stake a claim for a place in our five-man midfields.

Jurgen Klopp, meanwhile, opts against starting Philippe Coutinho for the first time since Gameweek 13 and names the fit-again playmaker on the bench instead.

Recovered from an ankle injury, the Brazilian is second only to Dele Alli for transfers in for midfielders since yesterday’s deadline passed, rising in price to 8.3 overnight.

With a plum home clash against Swansea up next, we’re keeping a keen eye on the Reds’ main men, with Adam Lallana and Roberto Firmino handed the wide roles on either side of Divock Origi as Daniel Sturridge warms the bench along with Coutinho.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Ibra blank would be hilarious. He will be up against Stoke next week - remember that performance Lee Grant put up against him in the reverse fixture?

      United just don't look great going forward

      Ibra to Kane a possibility

        1. George Sillett
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          What a really stupid comment . You are actually advocating getting rid of him by insinuation.

    7. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Hiliarious- he just scored !!!

    8. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      An Ibra brace would be hilarious. Stoke up next , could do all kinds of damage.

    The direct ball game works if you have people who can cross

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      You should buy ADM.

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Would fit them very well, wonder why they haven't thought of that.

    2. Syd.
      • 16 Years

      Do you want to borrow Navas?

  4. NATSTER
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    It was so lucky to be offside. Lallana dangerously pulled Fellaini.

  5. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Can't believe how bad the two manchester teams have been today

          • 9 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          strangely, I am able to have my laptop and TV switched on at the same time. Always remember, nobody is interested in your team except you.

              • 16 Years
              9 years, 3 months ago

              Are you at it again!
              Why don't you offer some advice then?

              1. Deulofail
                • 10 Years
                9 years, 3 months ago
