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.

    That goal should never be allowed to stand.

    Rashford had a massive impact on that play from a clearly offside position

      Rules have changed

      Disagree. This was the other original and correct rule. He doesn't touch it so no offside. Kudos to the refs

    As a former Sunday league goalkeeper I really hate that these goals are given because ‘not interfering’ . It’s absolute nonsense

    Ridiculous decision. Ederson's attention was on Rashford so clearly contributing to play

    1. DMP
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      This.

    2. Hughes Your Daddy

      But its Man Utd at home, always gonna be given 😉

    3. Utopsis

      So it's Edersons error then, given he knows the rules

      1. jacob1989
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Absolutely. Why should ederson be distracted by rashford if he knows he is offside?

    4. lilmessipran

      Agreed, City robbed

    Unbekieveble. Clearly Rashford had influence even Ederson was waiting for the shot.

    1. jacob1989
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Thats never offside.. This is the way refereeing should be.

      All this interfering rule is nonsense..

  19. jacob1989

  21. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    So just play a bunch of players offside to unsettle defence and tell not to touch the ball? Seems to be something that can be exploited?
