The final match of Double Gameweek 25 sees Manchester United play host to Brighton and Hove Albion at Old Trafford.

Kick-off is at 20:15 GMT.

A lot of captaincy hopes will be pinned on Bruno Fernandes and Cristiano Ronaldo tonight, with the Portuguese pair both installed in Ralf Rangnick’s starting XI.

Elsewhere, there are three changes for the Red Devils from the side that drew 1-1 against Southampton on Saturday, with Victor Lindelof, Fred and Anthony Elanga coming in for Raphael Varane, Paul Pogba and Marcus Rashford.

Varane was initially named in the line-up, but has since had to pull out due to illness.

That means Diogo Dalot, Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw continue in defence, ahead of goalkeeper David de Gea, who’s ownership currently sits at 15.2%.

Graham Potter, meanwhile makes three changes for Brighton, with Yves Bissouma, Alexis Mac Allister and Leandro Trossard replacing Adam Lallana, Tariq Lamptey and Danny Welbeck.

DOUBLE GAMEWEEK 25 LINE-UPS

Manchester United XI: de Gea, Dalot, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw, McTominay, Fred, Sancho, Fernandes, Elanga, Ronaldo

Subs: Henderson, Jones, Pogba, Mata, Rashford, Lingard, Telles, Wan-Bissaka, Heaton

Brighton and Hove Albion XI: Sanchez, Veltman, Dunk, Webster, Cucurella, Bissouma, Gross, Mac Allister, Moder, Trossard, Maupay

Subs: Steele, Lamptey, Lallana, Alzate, Welbeck, March, Duffy, Caicedo, Ferguson

          Dunk is good for bps and is a goal threat for a team that is generally good defensively, you can't account for something like that

        A good question, especially since he's now played 2 games in 4 days

      Selling Bruno and Ronaldo but I honestly think they will score big this weekend..United Leeds generally always a goal fest. (still not enough to warrant not getting salah in for DGW though)

      Ps I’m not saying united are back just think they will score well this weekend

      Funny what the fpl does to you , I hate man United with a passion but with ddg and dalot in my team I’ve never wanted them to keep a clean sheet so much in my life . Increased my lead over rival in Ml by 22 points . I’ll take that

        Don't take football to seriously. Much more important thing in life, particularly Family

      Got my absolute jam with that Bruno last gasp goal but I'll gladly take it. 79 all out and finally broken into the top 100,000 going from 127k to 91k.

      Cuppla hits incoming now to get Salah, Son & Broja for Bruno, Ronaldo & Martinelli. Onwards....
