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.

    Does Bruno Fernandes ever stop complaining?

    1. Begbie.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Nope. He's so unlikable.

    2. The Senate
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      There is a VERY long list of PL players who do the same

      Not saying it’s ok, just funny that people single him out because he’s at Utd

      1. Begbie.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Don't be so paranoid.

        It's because he's one of the biggest diving, cheating, detestable barstewards to ever grace the league. Absolutely nothing to do with Man Utd.

      2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Everytime the camera pans on him he’s moaning

        Maybe I’m just seeing things. Richarlison is another one

        1. DARE TO BISCAN
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Another one with a very slappable face

      3. TheTinman

        3 years, 2 months ago

        There's not a single player I've watched who is on Brunos level.

        Don't flatter yourself thinking it's because he's a Manure player, you're not that important anymore.

    1. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years

      Goal - Rashford did not touch the ball

  15. Begbie.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Surely Rashford basically running on to the ball impacts Ederson?

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago
