The Manchester derby is the first Premier League match of the day and kicks off at Old Trafford at 12:30pm GMT.

United and City are two of the four clubs who ‘double’ in Gameweek 20 and have been well-backed by Fantasy Premier League managers as a result: three of the top four most-bought players ahead of Friday’s deadline came from the these two teams.

The names in question were Luke Shaw, Marcus Rashford and Kevin De Bruyne, and all of them start this afternoon.

As for the rest of the team news, Anthony Martial is fit enough to start for the hosts at Old Trafford.

Shaw stays at centre-half, with Tyrell Malacia at left-back, while Fred comes in to bolster the midfield at the expense of the benched Antony.

Three City players who have struggled for Premier League game-time since the World Cup, Kyle Walker, Joao Cancelo and Phil Foden, are the only three survivors from the side that lost to Southampton in the Carabao Cup in midweek.

Foden is back on the left flank at the expense of Jack Grealish, while Walker and Cancelo’s deployment at full-back means that there is no place for Rico Lewis.

Aymeric Laporte is also among the substitutes.

    Think Rashford's done, limping again I think

    1. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I thought he would be off at half-time - will watch with interest as unfortunately Rashford track record not good with injuries

      1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Looks like I was wrong as looks better now, was sure he was walking gingerly just before the goal

  14. Scapegoat Salah

    1. Hughes Your Daddy
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

  17. Sun Jihai

    KDB essential!

    Great for KdB BPS too as Grealish only just come on

  23. Pomodoro

    That ball was going to Haaland Jack, read the script!

  24. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Brilliant goal.

  25. diesel001

    Poor goal for FPL. For those that own a Man Utd defender (even if they own KDB), it is better to get the Man Utd CS than the KDB assist.

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Surely not, as everyone owns Shaw

  26. Ze_Austin
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    City look much better in this half

  27. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Cancelo 60 😎

  28. ididnt
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Of course the tc on Haaland will be a huge fail won’t it

  29. JBG
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    At least it's not Haaland, take Cancelo off now Pep so Rashford can score 2.
