The next match of Double Gameweek 20 takes place at Selhurst Park, where Crystal Palace host Manchester United in the 20:00 GMT kick-off.

Erik ten Hag’s side has had an extra day of rest over Palace, following Saturday’s late comeback win over Manchester City. It was their ninth successive victory in all competitions and another tonight will put them in second place, leapfrogging both their neighbours and Newcastle United.

Anthony Martial (£6.6m) was withdrawn at half-time at the weekend and doesn’t make the squad, meaning loanee Wout Weghorst (£6.0m) will start on his debut.

It’s one of three changes made by ten Hag, as Lisandro Martinez (£4.5m) and Antony (£7.4m) come in for Tyrell Malacia (£4.2m) and Fred (£5.1m). An injured Diogo Dalot (£4.7m) allows Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£4.3m) to face his former club.

Popular picks Marcus Rashford (£7.1m) and Luke Shaw (£5.1m) start, as does Bruno Fernandes (£9.8m). After several appearances at centre-back, Shaw appears to be back on the left.

As for Palace, defender Joachim Andersen (£4.5m) picked up a first-half calf injury at Chelsea and will miss a few weeks. In his place comes Chris Richards (£4.4m).

Forwards Odsonne Edouard (£5.2m) and Jean-Philippe Mateta (£5.1m) start instead of Jordan Ayew (£5.3m) and Eberechi Eze (£5.6m), suggesting a possible 4-4-2 system. Meanwhile, Will Hughes (£4.8m) replaces Jeffrey Schlupp (£4.7m).

GAMEWEEK 20 LINE-UPS

Crystal Palace XI: Guaita; Clyne, Guehi, Richards, Mitchell; Olise, Doucoure, Hughes, Zaha; Edouard, Mateta

Subs: Johnstone, Ward, Tomkins, Riedewald, Milivojevic, Schlupp, Ozoh, Eze, Ayew 

Manchester United XI: De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Martinez, Shaw; Casemiro, Eriksen; Antony, Fernandes, Rashford; Weghorst

Subs: Heaton, Lindelof, Maguire, Malacia, Fred, McTominay, Garnacho, Elanga, Pellistri

    Is it just me or is Bruno playing more at the top of the midfield then on the right as usual?

    1. JBG

      Probably has something to do with Martial not playing, Martial likes dropping deep to be apart of the game. The Horse has to stay up top, which pushes Bruno up as well.

    OMGGGG

  18. Old Bull
    • 12 Years

    Considering he doesn’t usually get a full game, my Eriksen gamble is looking less and less likely. If KDB misses the second game this DGW hasn’t been a blinder.

    1. Old Bull
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Hold on!

    2. sulldaddy
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I went Eriksen too...not feeling confident at this point.
      Ugh

      1. sulldaddy
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        And now the assist!! Yay!!

    3. Mr. O'Connell

      Classic FFS. Crying it off then the points roll in.

  19. Debauchy

    Lets go Brunooo

  20. EDUARDO DA SILVA

    Splinter goal

  21. Rainer

    The rat is so much more tolerable once you own him!

  22. Mr. O'Connell

    Rashford playing the KDB role in that goal

        will take the triple price increase over 2 weeks!

  26. Make FPL Casual Again

    Might be time to consider getting Bruno again, in a KDB hokey cokey

    Eriksen master class

    AWB is an outstanding defender. He has those marquee slide tackles and they always come off I swear. Not amazing with possession and going forward though but he’s improved in that department since Ten hag came in. Nonetheless I still prefer Dalot for his attacking abilites. Shame AWB isn’t better offensively.

    1. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

      Try him at CB

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

    This is just what MU and the match needed.... goal before HT. Might push Palace a little more forward.

  30. FCHaalandaise

    Bruno you absolute legend!

    1. FCHaalandaise

      What a punt!

      1. JT11fc
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        For sure! Had him since the restart
