Wolves rotate as Rashford starts for Man United

Nuno Espirito Santo has already begun the rotation process ahead of Wolves’ FA Cup semi-final next weekend.

Raúl Jiménez (£6.8m) and Matt Doherty (£5.4m) were both named on the bench for the Double Gameweek 32 trip to Burnley.

Diogo Jota (£6.1m) keeps his place leading the Wolves line, while Joao Moutinho (£5.3m) starts in midfield.

Elsewhere, there was good news for those with Marcus Rashford (£7.6m) in their squads as he was confirmed as starting against Watford.

The England international has been deployed up front alongside Anthony Martial (£7.2m).

Romelu Lukaku (£10.8m) and Jesse Lingard (£6.7m) were named among the substitutes although there was no place in the match squad for Victor Lindelof (£5.1m) after his wife gave birth earlier this week.

It’s Phil Jones (£5.1m) who is paired with Chris Smalling (£5.6m) at centre-back for Manchester United.

Meanwhile, opponents Watford have rested some players but have made fewer changes to their attack than Wolves as they prepare for the FA Cup semi-finals.

Troy Deeney (£5.9m) and Gerard Deulofeu (£5.7m) start up front of the first-choice four-man midfield.

Intriguingly, it’s in defence where the Hornets have made a change, with Craig Cathcart (£4.5m) on the bench, allowing Miguel Britos (£4.3m) to start.

Daryl Janmaat (£4.9m), Christian Kabasele (£4.4m) and Adam Masina (£4.3m) keep their places in the side after starting against Manchester City in Gameweek 30.

There was good news for those invested in Crystal Palace assets as Vicente Guaita (£4.2m), Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£4.5m), Jeffrey Schlupp (£4.5m), Luka Milivojevic (£6.3m) and Wilfried Zaha (£6.9m) all start.

There was some rotation for Brighton ahead of their involvement in the FA Cup semi-finals as Martín Montoya (£4.3m) and Bernardo (£4.2m) come in at full-back.

Chris Hughton has gone for a front-three of Anthony Knockaert (£5.2m) and Alireza Jahanbakhsh (£6.7m) either side of Glenn Murray (£6.3m).

Burnley keep faith in their front two of Ashley Barnes (£5.7m) and Chris Wood (£6.2m) while Jeff Hendrick (£5.2m) reclaims his starting berth on the right flank from Johann Berg Gudmundsson (£5.5m), who drops to the bench.

Brighton XI: Ryan; Bernardo, Duffy, Dunk, Montoya; Bissouma, Stephens, Pröpper; Knockaert, Murray, Jahanbakhsh.

Huddersfield XI: Hamer; Smith, Schindler, Kongolo, Durm; Bacuna, Hogg, Mooy; Pritchard, Löwe; Grant.

Leicester XI: Schmeichel; Ricardo Pereira, Morgan, Evans, Chilwell; Tielemans, Ndidi, Maddison; Gray, Vardy, Barnes.

    I've had double Leicester defence (ChilPer) since GW27 or so. Nice to finally see some Chilwell returns when I'm on a FH without him

    Very, very nice feeling
