Norwich City v Manchester United brings Saturday’s Premier League action to a close, with kick-off at Carrow Road at 17:30 GMT.

The team news is nice and simple for the visitors as Ralf Rangnick names an unchanged team from last weekend’s 1-0 win over Crystal Palace.

Cristiano Ronaldo was transferred in by just under 450,000 Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers ahead of Friday’s deadline and is the second most-captained player of Gameweek 16.

Diogo Dalot and David de Gea also featured in the top 10 most transferred-in players of this current Gameweek.

Dean Smith has made five changes from Sunday’s defeat at Spurs, with Lukas Rupp, Dimitris Giannoulis, Ozan Kabak, Przemyslaw Placheta and Josh Sargent coming into the side.

Budget FPL defender Brandon Williams misses out as he is ineligible to face his parent club, while Ben Gibson, Pierre Lees-Melou, Adam Idah and Andrew Omobamidele also drop out of the side.

Dean Smith reported injury and illness issues concerning four unnamed players in his pre-match presser, and Gibson and Omobamidele are indeed not part of the matchday squad.

GAMEWEEK 16 LINE-UPS

Norwich City XI: Krul, Aarons, Hanley, Kabak, Giannoulis Rupp, Gilmour, Placheta, McLean, Sargent, Pukki.

Subs: Gunn, Byram, Dowell, Cantwell, Sorensen, Lees-Melou, Mumba, Idah, Tomkinson.

Manchester United XI: De Gea, Dalot, Lindelof, Maguire, Telles, McTominay, Fred, Bruno Fernandes, Sancho, Cristiano Ronaldo, Rashford.

Subs: Heaton, Henderson, Bailly, Jones, Greenwood, Lingard, Shaw, Van de Beek, Elanga

    Well that's a poor pass... But everyone will blame CR for missing a "sitter".

        Didn't see the Chelsea ones but only 1 wasn't a penalty which out of the rest which was the city pen

      • _Ninja_

        Teams who attack more get more pens.. the conspiracy..

          • 14 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Might as well throw VAR in the soup also cause that's another disgraceful load of absolute bollicks

      • Pinturicchio10
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Of all the reasons to stop watching, this is the silliest.

          1. Bielsa's Blue Bucket

            4 years, 2 months ago

            I watched Leeds fight their hearts out today to be robed in the 94th minute, robbed. The city pen was a joke also. What's the point investing time and emotion into something that's doomed from the start.

              Football has always more or less been a battle of the richest. I don't understand how you're surprised

            • 11 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            Bit lucky to be available for Brentford. Could easily of got his 5th yellow tonight.

              • 9 Years
              4 years, 2 months ago

            • 11 Years

            • 8 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

          1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            Has been hurting since Messi was declared better once again!

        12. Beatle
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Did Lindelof go off injured?

          1. _Ninja_
            • 15 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            pain in chest.

          2. Duke Silver ☑
            • 11 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            Yeah although it looked a bit more worrying. He was holding his chest as if he was having trouble breathing.

        13. Gudjohnsen
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          How the hell is Ronaldo still pn 3 BAPS

          1. TorresMagic™
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 16 Years

            • 15 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

        14. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Streetwise Todd.

        15. _Ninja_
          • 15 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          DDG another save

        16. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Another DDG save

          1. Guru Mediation
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            Offside I think

        17. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          The luck wow

          1. Zimo
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            To concede a free kick that shouldn't have been given in the first place? And then offside not being given for the resultant header?

            1. JBG
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 2 months ago

              Luck.

        18. Van der Faart
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Norwich don't deserve to lose this but I need those DDG points badly

        19. JBG
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          DDG is god.

          1. JBG
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            Also offside.

        20. Duke Silver ☑
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          DDG will be on 3 baps after that.

        21. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Will cr get 3 bps?

          1. Duke Silver ☑
            • 11 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            Might hold onto joint 3 with DDG

          2. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            Holding … on 31 vs DDG and Lindy on 29 …

        22. g40steve
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          That must be Six or more saves for Ddg?

        23. manu4life99
          • 16 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Why is Benteke ranked 3rd in the watch list? When did he suddenly stop sucking?

        24. Kodap
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Surely DDG gets 3 baps now?

          1. Hazz
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            On 31 with Ron now

        25. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          3 - Ronaldo, de Gea (31)
          1 - Lindelöf (29)

          1. Gudjohnsen
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            Vomits

        26. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Ronnie brace time.

        27. Alexis Nonsense
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Dennis matching Ronaldo

          so far my Ronaldo fear is over...

          1. Zimo
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            What if I have both

            1. Alexis Nonsense
              • 10 Years
              4 years, 2 months ago

              Still no fear, 12.4m should net you consistent hauls, 1 goal + max bonus is 7m striker territory imo

              Could still be a good pick, but I don't think he is

              1. Zimo
                • 7 Years
                4 years, 2 months ago

                I mean I have a humongous team value so I can afford him without affecting the rest of my team anyways.

                Ramsdale Gunnarsson
                TAA Cancelo James Alonso Dalot
                Salah Bernardo Foden Jota Bowen
                Ronaldo Dennis Locadia

        28. JBG
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Wow... Poor decision/pass after poor decision/pass from Rashford. Worst I've ever seen him and that's saying something.
