The first set of midweek Premier League fixtures of 2020/21 comes to a close this evening at Bramall Lane.

Manchester United are the visitors as Sheffield United look to end their 12-match run without a win, with kick-off in South Yorkshire at 20:00 GMT.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has brought Dean Henderson (£5.3m) into his starting XI tonight, with David de Gea (£5.3m) only among the substitutes.

Alex Telles (£5.5m) for Luke Shaw (£4.8m) at left-back is another defensive change that the Norwegian has made, while Nemanja Matic (£4.8m) and Anthony Martial (£8.7m) are brought back into the fold at the expense of Scott McTominay (£4.9m) and Fred (£5.3m).

Chris Wilder has made three alterations to his team, who are looking to avoid a club record eighth successive league defeat.

Jack Robinson (£4.3m) ousts Phil Jagielka (£4.0m) in defence while Oliver Burke (£4.3m) and David McGoldrick (£5.2m) replace the injured Oli McBurnie (£5.6m) and veteran Billy Sharp (£5.6m) in attack.

Those FPL managers hoping for points from Rhian Brewster (£4.5m) will have a familiar sinking feeling, as the young striker is again only among the substitutes.

Bruno Fernandes (£11.0m) is the most-captained player of Gameweek 13, with 1,275,089 managers handing him the armband for this clash.


Sheffield United XI: Ramsdale, Baldock, Basham, Egan, Robinson, Stevens, Berge, Ampadu, Fleck, Burke, McGoldrick.

Man Utd XI: Henderson, Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Telles, Matic, Pogba, Greenwood, Fernandes, Martial, Rashford.

  4. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Trashford wouldnt score if he got one on one with Ramsdale a million times... horrible finisher

    1. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

    1. JONALDINHO
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      1. Flair
        • 5 Years

  9. camarozz
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Henderson will prob get a goal too. Everyone bar Bruno captain.

  10. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Come ooooooon Bruno

  11. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Bizarrely Bruno is playing quite deep

    1. JONALDINHO
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Change of formation.

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah slight shame, though more threat overall for sure

  12. Londongeezaa
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Will people stop breaking my players. Ffs

  13. Limbo
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Weird being a Bruno owner and wanting minus pts.

    1. manu4life99
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Why would u want minus pts

      1. Pedram
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        High effective ownership

      2. Limbo
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        I’m only really concerned with one ML

    2. KGFC
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Dumb?

      1. Limbo
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Maybe... Money league leader cap

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      EO still < 100%

  14. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Pogba playing for a new contract

  15. Drogo
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Not sure if I like Brunos role now when Pog is back. Perhaps too early to sale, but I am considering it.

    1. Flair
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      No CAM no party

  16. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    This was unexpected

  17. Bushwhacker
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Actually can’t believe anyone is clueless enough to set Sheff Utd up to play to United’s single strength. They’ve got to sack Wilder tomorrow or they’re down.

    1. KGFC
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Should have done when Big Sam was available. What's the point now.

      1. Bushwhacker
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Anyone is better. Literally setting the team up to lose.

      2. jungle
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        There's always Slaven Bilic.....!

  18. KEN YA DIG IT
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    time to sub out bruno ,game's already won

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Another goal and he'll be off around the 60 mark

      1. Pompel
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        @ 59 mins, probably. He'll have time for a yellow card before that

    2. Canarinha
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      United is not good enough to defend a lead
      3-1 then off

  19. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Bruno has been invisible

  20. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    which assist Rashford ruined?

    1. leo_messi
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      martial's

  21. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    All this talk of Ole getting sacked recently and they're currently sitting ahead of Lampard's Chelsea with a game in hand.

    Not saying I want Lampard sacked, the perspective is just weird.

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      they might be champions this year easily

      1. Bushwhacker
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

    2. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Champions League massive fail, without dodgy VAR calls they’d be in much worse shape. Plus they play god awful football.

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Well probably get knocked out vs. Atletico.

        Havertz & Werner hardly made for great watching either.

  22. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Time for Bruno penalty. It has been a while

  23. DRIZ ✅
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Not watching the game but scared about Bruno C, how is he looking so far?

    I have Salah C, while rival has Bruno C

    Should i be worried?

    1. The Gambler.
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      You are obviously already worried judging by this post

      1. DRIZ ✅
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        I am as im not watching the game and they are playing against the last team in PL, should easily get points damn

    2. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      he will deliver

      1. DRIZ ✅
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Oh no

    3. KEN YA DIG IT
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      very quiet
      no need to worry,he is less likely to outscore salah

    4. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      You’d be worried regardless of what we say? What difference does it make?

  24. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Ole should take Bruno off at HT. Rest him for Leeds now since it's Game Over

  25. Zilla
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Just matter of time lads

    1. KEN YA DIG IT
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      the inevitable penalty

  26. It's Fergie Time
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Bruno is horrible

  27. Ibralicious
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Martial close again... this could turn into quit the smashing.

    Under Ole, the game management and defence been poor but man do we look like the one of the best, most creative attacking teams in Europe. So much more flavour than Guordiola’s lacklustre city at the moment...

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
        5 years, 4 months ago

        *when a team leaves space in behind

    2. Canarinha
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Bruno 1 goal 1 assist 2nd half just watch

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Looks unlikely
