Manchester United take on Arsenal this evening in the final match of Gameweek 7. Kick-off at Old Trafford is at 20:00 BST.
There were a few surprises upon the release of the teamsheets, the biggest of which saw Marcus Rashford (£8.4m) named in the United starting XI.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had, without explicitly ruling the England striker out of the Monday night clash, strongly suggested that Rashford would struggle to recover for this meeting with the Gunners in Friday’s press conference but the most-sold FPL asset of this week maintains his ever-present record.
All of which is bad news for the 20% or so of Mason Greenwood‘s (£4.4m) owners who started the budget FPL forward in Gameweek 7, as the teenage forward is only among the substitutes.
Paul Pogba (£8.4m) has also recovered from the swollen ankle he aggravated in the EFL Cup tie against Rochdale last week and returns to the midfield.
Pogba replaces Nemanja Matic (£4.8m) in the double-pivot, while Jesse Lingard (£6.4m) ousts Juan Mata (£6.3m) from the number ten role.
There is no Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£5.5m) in United’s starting XI, meanwhile, with his place in defence being taken by youngster Axel Tuanzebe (£4.4m).
The Red Devils have revealed that Wan-Bissaka misses out because of tonsillitis.
Unai Emery has made two changes to his starting XI from the team that beat Aston Villa 3-2 last weekend.
Ainsley Maitland-Niles (£5.1m) is available after returning from suspension but only makes the bench, with Calum Chambers (£4.4m) replacing him at right-back.
Dani Ceballos (£5.6m) also makes way, with Lucas Torreira (£4.9m) promoted to the line-up.
Hector Bellerin and Kieran Tierney (both £5.4m) aren’t involved despite their return to first-team action in the EFL Cup last week.
Budget midfielder Bukayo Saka (£4.5m) – owned by just 0.1% of FPL managers – gets his second successive start and joins Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.0m) and Nicolas Pepe (£9.4m) in a front three for the visitors.
Manchester United XI: De Gea; Tuanzebe, Lindelöf, Maguire, Young; McTominay, Andreas Pereira; Lingard, Pogba, James; Rashford.
Arsenal XI: Leno; Chambers, Sokratis, David Luiz, Kolasinac; Xhaka, Guendouzi, Torreira; Saka, Aubameyang, Pépé.
