Everton v Manchester United is the first of three Premier League matches to take place on Sunday afternoon. Kick-off at Goodison Park is at 13:30 BST.

There were few shocks upon the release of the two teamsheets, with Ashley Young and Jesse Lingard demoted to the United bench after less-than-impressive performances against Barcelona in midweek.

Paul Pogba starts his 17th Premier League match in a row under Ole Gunnar Solksjaer, with Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial and Romelu Lukaku forming the visitors’ front three.

We’ll likely see one of Victor Lindelof or Phil Jones at full-back again given that Young is among the substitutes and Luke Shaw is suspended.

Alexis Sanchez is also on the bench for the Red Devils.

Everton’s two changes were widely expected, with Michael Keane returning at centre-half in place of Phil Jagielka and the fit-again Morgan Schneiderlin stepping in for the suspended Andre Gomes in midfield.

Richarlison, Gylfi Sigurdsson and Bernard will once again be providing support for Dominic Calvert-Lewin in attack.

Manchester United are without a clean sheet since Gameweek 27, while Everton have five in that time. Manchester City are the only Premier League side to have registered more shut-outs than the Toffees this calendar year.

United were 2-1 winners in the reverse fixture of today’s match.

Pogba bagged a goal and assist but also saw a penalty saved by Jordan Pickford, who walked away with three bonus points despite conceding on two occasions.

Richarlison and Sigurdsson combined for Everton’s goal that day and those two FPL midfielders, who were each sold by over 100,000 managers in the run-up to Gameweek 35, have 30 attacking returns between them in 2018/19.

Everton XI (4-2-3-1): Pickford, Coleman, Keane, Zouma, Digne, Schneiderlin, Gueye, Sigurdsson, Bernard, Richarlison, Calvert-Lewin.

Manchester United XI (4-3-3): De Gea, Lindelof, Smalling, Jones, Dalot, Matic, Fred, Pogba, Rashford, Lukaku, Martial.

    Ole ageing so well at Utd

      We might see a new manager by GW1 😉

        Lmaooo!!!

    Quick thought - why doesn’t Klopp play TAA as left midfield ever?

    He spends most of his time in that position or further forward. And then have Gomez as RB.

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Well he plays on the right for a start 😉

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah meant right midfield 😛

        1. Mysterion
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          He already does 😉 only a RB on paper, a RM/RWB in practice like Robbo on the other side

          1. Jafooli
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            So no need to rest him at RB then 😉

            1. Mysterion
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 3 months ago

              😛

    2. Marvin.
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      He's widely believed to be earmarked for a CM berth.

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Hopefully vs Huddersfield

    3. Ginkapo FPL
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Are you thinking of dropping Salah to make room for this? Its the right call to be sure.

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Have Henderson to cover Salah points. TAA is gravy 😎

    4. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      They'd have to take a player out of the front 3 or the central midfield, which are both more crucial than wide midfielders.

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Take Henderson off and replace with TAA...to give me more chance of points?

    5. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      If he plays most of his time in midfield then doesn't that mean Klopp is playing him there? 😮

      1. The 5% Team
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        haha very true

      2. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        😮 trying to make sense of my comments 😛

      3. Mysterion

    1. Nomar
      • 16 Years

      Why not?

    Double game week strikes again. Got rid of Ricky for doucoure. Sickening.

    1. JIMMY TUGGINS
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      That could still work out ok.

      1. Nomar
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        This

    2. Warby84
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Same

    3. Cruyff's Eleven
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Nr 1 in the world did Siggy & Calvert-L to Jota & Jiminez - 8...

      That's a 17 point swing already......

      My week is not going that bad after all...

  5. Baby Face Nelson
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    With the way UTD and Chelsea are playing top 4 is Spurs and Arsenal by default

  6. Nomar
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    I like having Digne in my team.

  7. Chandler Bing
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    What's the consensus with Trippier? He's been an awful pick and Spurs being part of the UCL now only expands his chances of rotation.

    Worth taking him out for Shaw/Laporte (-4)?

    1. Warby84
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      No love from spurs fans, if I’m right as regards to twitter saying they would drive him to Manchester.. So not sure what’s going on.. Think I’ll move him on if he is not selected on Tuesday..

  8. Chenku╰☆╮

    Ole got the job too early.. Deadwood walking too.

  9. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Get Rashford on Ole yah tool....

    1. Baby Face Nelson
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      haha he's on

  10. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Cmon now Pogba...

  11. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Are united even trying to get top 4?

    1. _Make
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Don't want the hassle of European football

    2. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah, Rashford just scored a conversion.

  12. IRBOX âš½

    7 years, 3 months ago

    Toffees dominating again at Goodison. 7th on live ladder now too! If only we had a quality number 9

    1. Marvin.
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Do you think they'll go for Giroud? He's out of contract in the summer.

      1. IRBOX âš½
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Possible. Mitrovic would be interesting!

        1. Marvin.
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          He would suit Everton. He's a dirty sod.

        2. Party time
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Yes

      2. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Pickford
        Coleman Keane Zouma* Digne
        Gueye Gomes
        Richarlison Siggy Bernard
        Giroud*

        * Sign on permanent deals from Chelsea

        Personally think Everton should avoid getting a EL place. Squad is not ready for two games a week.

        1. Marvin.
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          You mean deliberately lose games?

  13. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Utd are dreadful.....so many players stealing a living.

    Don’t know where to start....Jones & Smalling I suppose

    1. Dannyb
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Agreed, you can add Fred to that list, he literally brings nothing to this team.

  14. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Best thing about this game so far from a FPL perspective is the Utd CS has been wiped.

  15. Bouncebackability
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 17 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Rashford believing his own hype. That was 40 yards

    1. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      He's been like that always. Ridiculous shots, selfish player. Which is good for FPL I guess, but not for united.

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        To be good got FPL he would have to get goals and assists so not sure how that would be bad for Utd

    2. Dannyb
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      He's scored one free kick that I can remember. I cringe everytime he places one down to take.

  16. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    DCL adding to Duffy’s points on my bench 😎 Pity I don’t have a BB chip

  17. Scotty B
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Glad I sold Maddison and kept Richarlison now.

    Eases the pain of getting in KDB slightly.

  18. Chenku╰☆╮
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Quick one.. Why doesnt Klopp play TAA in goal.. More save points, can still be on all set pieces..

  19. Sandy Ravage
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Rashford on goal kicks

  20. DR0GBA
    • 9 Years

  23. Ginkapo FPL
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    De Gea is neither back nor not back.

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      They need a replacement not worth what they pay him let alone the 400-500k he wants.

  24. My heart goes Salalalalah
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Haha

  25. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
