A lacklustre Double Gameweek 34 limps to its conclusion this Thursday evening with the small matter of a Manchester derby at the Etihad Stadium.

Marcus Rashford returns to the starting XI in the second match of United’s Double Gameweek as they look for a win that would allow them to leapfrog Pep Guardiola’s men in the race for a Champions League spot.

Drafted in by a massive 457,000+ FPL managers last week and captained by 6.3%, the teenager served up a single point against Burnley on Sunday after being afforded a late role off the bench.

Antonio Valencia is also named on Jose Mourinho’s teamsheet, much to the relief of his 17.5% owners – the Ecuadorian was rested for three of his side’s previous four league fixtures.

The Red Devils’ arrive on the back of a fine defensive record, conceding just once in their last five.

Yet they face a man in form in Sergio Aguero, who is looking to score for a sixth successive league appearance – his most consistent streak of the season.

The Argentine has recovered from the knock that forced him off against Arsenal at Wembley on Sunday and carries the captaincy hopes of 8.2% FPL managers tonight.

With a trip to Middlesbrough up next this weekend and a pair of home fixtures in Double Gameweek 37, the likes of Leroy Sane, Raheem Sterling and Kevin De Bruyne could also play their way into consideration if they can overcome their resilient visitors.

We’re also keeping an eye on the pitch time of Gabriel Jesus as he looks to reclaim the lone striker role from Aguero.

The Brazilian – who bagged 24 points in his first two league starts – is fit enough to be named amongst the subs after recovering from the foot injury that forced him off against Bournemouth back in Gameweek 25.

      Classic Mourhino anti football tactics

      Defensive resilience goes a long way berbs.. your manager should learn a thing or two about it

      Somehow Simeone is praised for doing the same....
      Good plan by Mou with a depleted squad and EL games on the horizon.

      Yeah if Moyes/LVG played like this the knives would be out.
      It is all about marketing and packaging.

    At least I got a CS from Valencia. Too bad I did not gamble by getting DDG in as well

    What do people think about DDG vs Cech? And what about Caballero?

    Which thoughts do people have on Jesus now?
