Double Gameweek 33 continues this evening and there is plenty of interest in both sides from a Fantasy Premier League (FPL) perspective.

Liverpool v Manchester United gets underway at Anfield at 20:00 GMT.

For the visitors, Ralf Rangnick opts for a back-five system with Phil Jones handed a surprise start alongside Victor Lindelof and Harry Maguire.

Diogo Dalot is preferred to Alex Telles on the left, while further forward, Anthony Elanga and Marcus Rashford line up through the middle.

That means Jadon Sancho has to settle for a place on the bench.

Cristiano Ronaldo will not feature due to the tragic death of his baby boy.

Jurgen Klopp makes two changes from Sunday’s FA Cup semi-final win over Manchester City, with Joel Matip and Jordan Henderson replacing Ibrahima Konate and Naby Keita, both of whom are substitutes.

Roberto Firmino, meanwhile, misses out with a minor foot injury.

GAMEWEEK 33 LINE-UPS

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, van Dijk, Robertson, Fabinho, Henderson, Thiago, Salah, Diaz, Mane

Subs: Kelleher, Konate, Milner, Keita, Gomez, Jones, Jota, Tsimikas, Origi

Manchester United XI: de Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Jones, Maguire, Dalot, Matic, Pogba, Fernandes, Elanga, Rashford

Subs: Henderson, Telles, Bailly, Hannibal, Lingard, Mata, McTominay, Garnacho, Sancho

      Will always depend on the opponent. Mane and Salah are only nailed ones from that forward line, as their price suggests

      Just shows that there is no such thing as a Roullete or Tombola, but there is only the squad depth and some player being indispensable for the team.
      E.g. Son or Kane are rotation proof as Spurs lack squad depth and are paramount for Spurs success.
      KDB is just to good to be subbed, but the others are not that good, ergo they are prone for rotation.
      The same thing with Salah and Mane, they are too good, while Jota, Firmino and Diaz are not.

          There will likely be rotation with those defenders too. Zinchenko, Walker, Stones and Ake can all play either RB or LB and at CB you have Stones, Dias and Ake
