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

    Lallana failed to impress me. Pedro, welcome to my team.

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Not sure United away is a fair test though

      Lallana is going to continue to get points with his runs and Coutinho now to feed him

      1. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        This
        Lally will do better next week; but Origi is out for sure now

        Will Lallana start deeper with Cout starting though? What is first choice midfield?

        Henderson, Wijnaldum,
        Lallana
        Firm, Origi , Cout

  13. F4L
    • 11 Years

    1. Kroosin'
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Lukaku based on fixtures.

  14. KingNidge
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Fellaini turned that game on its head

    1. Rolls-Royce
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Rooney was a poor sub tho.

      1. KingNidge
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Awful

        1. Rolls-Royce
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Jose went heart over his head. cost us any chance of a glance at title.

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
