The last Premier League fixture before the October international break takes place at St. James’ Park, as Newcastle United host Manchester United.

Kick-off on Tyneside is at 16:30 BST.

As anticipated, the Red Devils are without Paul Pogba (£8.4m), Anthony Martial (£7.5m), Luke Shaw, Jesse Lingard (£6.4m) and Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£5.5m) for this encounter.

Lingard, Pogba and Victor Lindelof (£5.4m) – who has picked up a back injury – make way from the team that drew 1-1 at Old Trafford, with Juan Mata (£6.3m), Fred (£5.3m) and Diogo Dalot (£4.9m) replacing them.

Ashley Young switches over to left-back to accommodate Dalot, with Axel Tuanzebe (£4.4m) partnering Harry Maguire (£5.5m) at centre-half.

There is still no league start for Mason Greenwood (£4.4m), who is only among the substitutes.

Marcus Rashford (£8.4m) again leads the line for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side.

Steve Bruce has rung the changes after the Magpies’ 5-0 thrashing at Leicester last Sunday.

Emil Krafth (£4.5m), Paul Dummett (£4.5m), the suspended Isaac Hayden (£4.5m), Yoshinori Muto (£5.3m) and Christian Atsu (£5.4m) all drop out, with Ciaran Clark (£4.4m), DeAndre Yedlin (£4.4m), Jetro Willems (£4.5m), Matthew Longstaff (£4.5m) and Allan Saint-Maximin (£5.4m) coming into the starting XI.

Not a single Newcastle player on show is owned by more than 5% of FPL bosses.

Rashford, Maguire, Daniel James (£6.2m) and David de Gea (£5.6m) all have double-digit ownerships, along with Greenwood.

Just over 100,000 FPL managers have captained Rashford for this fixture.

Newcastle United XI: Dubravka, Yedlin, Schar, Lascelles, Clark, Willems, M. Longstaff, S. Longstaff, Saint-Maximin, Joelinton, Almiron.

Manchester United XI: De Gea, Dalot, Tuanzebe, Maguire, Young, Fred, McTominay, Andreas, Mata, James, Rashford.

    Man united made Saint Maximin and Alimiron look like prime Robben and Ribery

  3. rozzo

    Odds are currently 250/1 for Man Utd to be relegated

    How much would you be willing to put on?

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Not yet, they will survive if OGS is sacked?

      1. rozzo
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Most of their squad is championship level though what manager can turn that around

        1. Magic Zico
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Tempted to take the 15/2 on OGS to be the next PL manager sacked

        • 8 Years

    Fergie took the decision to sack Moyes after 0-3 against liverpool.

    History repeats itself

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Hopefully he lasts that long.

      1. Peter Ouch
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Do you care much?
        I do care for a 0-3 again!

        1. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          I want him in charge for it.

  5. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Cheech not available

  6. Albrightondknight

    • 11 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Ah now they can't be firing Ole this is a project he has given a contract and needs time to bring players through.
    Time to make me happier if that is in anyway possible.

    Another Sideshow Bob? Why.

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Pogba never leaves the barbers chair to let others get a cut.

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Luiz scored so why not.

    3. Artemis Titans

    Ryan Button
    TAA Matip Digne Otamendi Lundstram
    Salah Sterling KDB Mount Saka
    Abraham Pukki Greenwood

  9. Party time

    Please don't sack Ole before the Liverpool match

  10. have you seen cyan
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    James was a funny trap really, hook line and sinker 😀

    1. Party time
      6 years, 9 months ago

      All utd players are traps

    2. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Some deep hooks on it too, cant get rid of him without a hit

    3. Miguel Sanchez
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Same here. Might sell for Maddison

  11. XabiAlonso
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Leicester gonna do another Leicester at this rate

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      This crossed my mind earlier, Liverpool can definetly fck it up and everyone else bar Chelsea is woeful so Leicester could swoop in 😀

  12. Party time
    6 years, 9 months ago

    So many selling Livepool assets because of United & Spurs... Salah & Mané are going to haul Big

    1. andres
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      agree, I think I am going to add some pool assets!

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Keep Mane

    3. Another Hoops
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      If Tammy wasn't at home I'd be capping Mane.

  13. EmreCan Hustle
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Andy Carroll is lucky for Newcastle.

  14. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    McTominay asking for his idols shirt after the game.

  15. Dynamic Duos
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Have Utd got a relegation battle on their hands ?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Yep.

    2. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      I’d laugh so hard if they got relegated. Can you imagine?

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        It will be up there in the top 5 things I've even seen in football

  16. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Game not updating? Where are my Longstaff points?

    1. Artemis Titans
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Matty

    2. Artemis Titans
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Not Sean

  17. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Keep Auba on a WC for now... right?

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Nah

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        I made a quick one earlier without Sterling, Aguero, Salah and Aubam. Looked beautiful

      2. FPL Scoop
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Why not? Decent fixtures. Only just got him in this week, and for a hit.

        Although slightly regret doing so now I must say

        1. Tsparkes10
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          Just think he's v expensive and rarely explodes. Would rather have Vardy and Maddison than say Aubam and 5m mid

    2. HurriKane
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Id definitely sell Auba. One blank in 8 matches is not good enough

      1. FPL Scoop
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Lol. I feel I’ve broken him as a pick having finally brought in for a hit this week.

        Moreso I meant the question because going for Wilson/Vardy over him opens up a lot of cash

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Regression.

      1. FPL Scoop
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        You’re so mysterious. What are you on about

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 17 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          Use the members area.

  18. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Utd & spurs both lose to Newcastle (probably)

    Liverpool’s next two games are .... Utd & spurs....

    10 wins in a row for the scousers it looks like

    1. Pacer.
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Just astonishing that people are warning others off of Liverpool because of 'horrible fixtures'

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Easy isn't it? 🙂

    3. andres
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Liverpool to trash united?

      1. Alonso The Great Midfielder
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        klopp never beat united at old trafford yet. maybe a tight win

    4. HurriKane
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Was planning to sell salah. I might keep him now

    5. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Don’t jinx it

  19. Pacer.
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Newcastle just have to hold on here. They probably won't play a weaker squad all season

  20. twoplustwo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    This is cack even as a relegation scrap

  21. Hig1990
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Pukki - Jimmi FT Y/N?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Jimmy plays during the break?

      1. Hig1990
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        I don't think he does?

    2. WVA
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Wilson

      1. Hig1990
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        0.1M short for Wilson

    3. Another Hoops
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Wilson or King pal unless you already have them.

      1. Hig1990
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Cheers, I'd rather Wilson over King but i'm 0.1 short. Got 7.8M to spend without taking a hit.

        Pope/Button
        TAA, Ota, Soy, Lund, Hanley
        Salah, KDB, Maddison, Mount, Gundouzi
        Auba, Pukki, Tammy

  22. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Mike Dean still hasn't worked out that the rules say that subs leaving the field are meant to leave by going to the nearest point off the pitch.

    1. Party time
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Mike Dean isn't interested in this match

  23. Party time
    6 years, 9 months ago

    It's been 10 months now & José is still having the last laugh

  24. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years

    Son to Mané for a hit?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Not tonight.

    2. Party time

  25. el polako
    • 9 Years

    Wonder what excuses will this time use young Bilbo Baggins ?

    1. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      😆

  26. SomeoneKnows
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Which should I do?

    A) Pukki > Vardy
    B) Pukki + McGin > Wilson + Maddison

    1. Alonso The Great Midfielder
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      i like b. is it for free?

    2. WVA
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Both for free? B looks great if so

  27. Alonso The Great Midfielder
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    anybody considering maupay? not a bad shout for third striker with his upcoming fixtures right

    1. Peter Ouch
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

    2. Party time
      6 years, 9 months ago

      In my team since gw5 & it's been good business. Now I am waiting for Trossard to return then a double up is likely

  29. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Absolutely embarrassing McTominay.

  30. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    No dodgy penalty for Man Utd. Even though McTominay tried to get one
