Gameweek 5 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) reaches its conclusion tonight, with Leicester City v Manchester United getting underway at 20:00 BST.

Brendan Rodgers makes three changes from the side that lost 2-1 at Chelsea in Gameweek 4.

In come Luke Thomas, Wilfred Ndidi and James Maddison, with Timothy Castagne, Daniel Amartey and Dennis Praet dropping to the bench.

Erik ten Hag, meanwhile, names an unchanged XI for the visitors.

That means Casemiro and Cristiano Ronaldo continue as substitutes, although full-backs Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Luke Shaw are both missing from the matchday squad.

In addition to tonight’s match, you may also want to keep an eye on our Transfer deadline day updates, which you can access via the link below.

GAMEWEEK 5 LINE-UPS

Leicester City XI: Ward, Justin, Evans, Ndidi, Thomas, Soumare, Tielemans, Dewsbury-Hall, Maddison, Barnes, Vardy

Subs: Soyuncu, Albrighton, Iheanacho, Perez, Daka, Iversen, Praet, Castagne, Brunt

Manchester United XI: de Gea, Dalot, Varane, Martinez, Malacia, McTominay, Eriksen, Elanga, Fernandes, Sancho, Rashford

    Is KDB still worth keeping if i have Haaland also? I feel he isn't gonna score high this year and could use the extra funds

      Haaland means he's not as good a pick as last few seasons because he'll score less goals. Currently there's cheaper mids doing better than him but their consistency won't be close to Dé Bruyne's level through the season.

      Avoid buying Arsenal defense for now. Difficult fixtures coming up.

      If you are captaining Haaland every week, it makes sense to drop Salah to Sterling / Zaha and upgrade Greenwood to Mitrovic / Toney. But, with that team, save your FT this week. See the weekend games to decide.

      Many will advise against, I don't mind it at all, clearly risky but a rested KDB is always a strong option. If you make the switch I'd probably just keep for Spurs match tbh.
