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

    ManUtd look like they get so excited when they get the ball in the attacking half that they just forget how to pass

    The difference in level was expected, but MU have shown absolutely nothing, probably not helped by Rangnick's punt with that formation change.

      There is a chance Salah could be rested against Everton, and a decent chance Jota starts.

      Although given Mo has scored Klopp may want to keep the rhythm going now.

      I'm not comfortable making that decision just yet.

          I don't see how Ramsdale is a better keeper than Schmeichel (FPL-wise) full-stop at the moment.

          Maybe if Tomiyasu is back.

          If I were you I'd happily drop to Schmeichel if it saves the 0.1m then use that on the FWD spot & you can have that team.

          If you're not bothered about 3x Leicester, get Jakupavic (3.9m) who is Schmeichel's backup anyway.
