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Anthony Martial (£6.6m) was withdrawn at half-time at the weekend and doesn’t make the squad, meaning loanee Wout Weghorst (£6.0m) will start on his debut.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

    Lovely, well done Palace!!

  4. Free Hat

    My god. Zaha really has been p*** poor

    1. SkyByBo
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      He's a 1 good game in 10 player. Massively overhyped

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

      That was a special tackle

      1. Free Hat
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Nothing to do with that tackle. His whole game was really poor. One of the worst palace players on the pitch imo

  5. Scalper
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    AWB absolutely massive tackle

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

      not really. Gets ManU 1 pt instead of 0. They are out of title race but will make top 4

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        It was an incredible tackle. As good as a goal for a defender.

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

    ManU miss Ronaldo?

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah, just the 8 wins in 9. Not sure how they will manage without !

    2. AlternativeB
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      no...?

    3. Sterling Malory
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      You miss brain?

  7. Zimo
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    I blame Rashford. He was trying to score when there was no chance of it happening cuz he wanted that record. Wasted chances.

    1. DropkickMurphys
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      What record was it?

    2. Wobbles
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yep, twice in a few minutes he could have played someone in and he chose to try himself. Brainless tackles by both Casemiro and Shaw

  8. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …

    Gettin . Justice after that debacle at the weekend .

  9. Random Name
    • 10 Years

  10. Rainer

    Here to giggle at the premature, fateful comments 🙂

    1. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      The United fans saying they’re going to win the league?

    2. Number14
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      G Neville was the worst lol

  14. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Let’s just have a big old lol at Man United.

  15. Hy liverpool
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Thank you Bruno

  16. fantasist
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    United draw, Casemiro suspended.
    Arsenal are the winners today.

  17. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    9 points lost with that goal. Tough to take.

  18. putana
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Rashford was genuinely awful. Lost every ball that came to him

    1. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      He didn't.

      1. FPL Brains
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        He did.

        1. GreennRed
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Hd didn't lose 'every' ball. He was poor alright.

    2. TheTinman
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Wasn't he influential in the first goal

      1. Freshy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        All Eriksen that one

        1. GreennRed
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Class is permanent.

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

    Will take that as a Bruno owner
    Just got to hope Kane keeps quiet, but I'm sure he'll score at least one!

    1. SouthCoastSaint
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Take that? 2 goals in a row for first time in a year! Be a bit more grateful! I’m an owner too! And max bonus!!! Jeez!

    2. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Same.

    3. TheTinman
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Congrats Bruno owners. Great gamble paid off

  20. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    2pts dropped and no and Casemiro suspended for Arsenal game. Utd in the mud. You love to see it!

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Cringe

    2. Number14
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Absolutely!

    3. MIGHTY JOE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      🙁

  21. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Still think Utd should have had the penalty to potentially make it 2-0

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

      I think the defender skimmed the ball. 2nd time I seen it I thought he didn't and 3rd time I thought he did again!

    2. Steve Stiffler
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      likewise i dont know how that wasn't, he clearly got to the ball before him and made contact trying to tackle

      1. Paqueta Rice
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I think it at least warranted the ref to look at the monitor for a second look

  22. TheTinman
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Man United deserved that. They were poor in the 2nd half.

    You can't sit on 1-0 leads away from home in the Premier League Eric.

    With the Casemiro suspension to top it off Arsenal may just end the Man Utd title challenge rhetoric this weekend.

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

      ManU were never title contenders.. In fact title race is over.. Only Arsenal can lose it if they implode, nobody can win it

  23. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Guess everyone had at least one United defender so not really bothered.

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

    Rashford seemed more interested in hitting that record than winning this match

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Think record is at old trafford?

    2. Charlie Price
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      His ownership levels are unrealistically high. % may fall now with Arsenal next up.

  25. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Salah to Odegard (TC) tempting

    1. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yes but not TC

  26. brixtonBob
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    As a shaw owner but not owning DDG I assume I would have lost places with a Utd CS

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Incorrect. Top10k: 90.07%.

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Man United defense, that is.

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

      Depends on your rank, I only have Shaw and dropped 3k places when Palace scored, it turns out only 60% have Shaw around my rank.....

  27. Arteta
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    This is good for us, this is good.

    1. Number14
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      This is fantastic

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

        🙂

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

      They aren't your rivals, you need the blue giant to stay asleep!

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

        And more importantly, just keep doing what you're doing...

      2. Arteta
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        We need reinforcements in January. CM or CDM and a winger who can play on either side.

    3. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      You'll get Pep'ed in the end

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

        Maybe, who knows. I'm gonna enjoy it while it lasts.

  28. FPL Brains
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Haaland cappers got a chance to get back into it tomorrow.

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

      Yeah. It will be interesting to see Conte's game plan on how to deal with Haaland. Bentancur has returned and this is huge for them.

  29. KeanosMagic
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Well that last minute goal lost me a lot of points!

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

    I benched White this week and played Shaw. White scored double the points of Shaw even though Shaw played twice. A DGW cautionary tale.

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Same goes for Kepa over DDG. Know people who made that move.

      1. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Come on, it was the right move. I didn’t do it personally, but fluke goal right at the end

      2. Danno - Emre Canada
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Yep I did for a minus 4, 9 point swing right there ha

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

      Even Bruno who scored twice and gets bonus in both only matches Solly March in the end

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

        That’s funny. I guess what I’m trying to say is that the obvious move ain’t always the right move, more so in a DGW. It’s still a gamble.
