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Anthony Martial (£6.6m) was withdrawn at half-time at the weekend and doesn’t make the squad, meaning loanee Wout Weghorst (£6.0m) will start on his debut.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

    Typical, right? Beat Citeh, draw with Palace.
    75 with KdB and Cancelo to come... barring a Haaland masterclass I should be guaranteed a green arrow but feel cheated here somehow. Rolling the FT so I have more info going into whatever DGW22 will provide.

      Hmm you didnt have Rashford all this time?

      Maybe Rashford after the Arsenal game.

  3. Supersonic_
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Rashford looked off tonight, chance for Haaland backers to pull something back tomorrow...

    Poor end on all fronts, missed out on 3 pts, lost Cas for the Arsenal game, Rash blanked and Shaw CS got scalped. Onwards and upwards.

  4. Steve Stiffler

    United can still get a result at Arsenal without Casemiro

    1. Pariße
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yes, that’s what they all say, then matchday Arsenal shows up, not the media one, and everyone is left speechless again. For a day.

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

        come back to this on Sunday evening

        1. Pariße
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          I never like to talk in advance, just talking from experience this season, that every time challenge presented itself they passed it with A+.

          Even as a supporter I have always been surprised at how well prepared they show up.

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

            Yes in fairness you have came very good since United beat you's 3-1 in September, will make for a brilliant game

            1. Pariße
              • 11 Years
              3 years, 2 months ago

              I noticed this is a significant moment for you United fans.

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

                how wouldnt it be a significant moment, yous have lost only one game this season? About to be 2 this weekend too

    2. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I mean, we already beat them without him this season. Notwithstanding his ten minute cameo that is.

      1. Pariße
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        His presence was replaced by the incompetence of the ref.

    3. Bruin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      A defeat is a result

  5. The Knights Template
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Gnonto was the real winner today.

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Gnonton my watch he wasn't

      1. The Knights Template
        • 12 Years

        Me, Myself and Ayling up next!

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

      Nah us Bruno owners the real winners

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

    Patrick Vieira still doing what he can to help Arsenal's title challenge

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

      Protect this man at all costs.

    2. Bruin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      He did nothing, Utd were useless tonight

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

    what a horrible GW.. this last minute goal when I have double ManU defense to TC Haaland flop to Mitro shooting penalty on his foot..and Kane & Salah just wasting space in my tame

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

      It was your fault

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

        no it was Shaw's fault. Giving away a cheap FK in a dangerous position when there was no need to foul at all.
        Sucks as FPL player but United got what they deserved.

      Don't remind me of Mitrovic - so annoying!

    4. sulldaddy
      • 15 Years

      If only you had the wild versions of Kane and Salah.

  8. Maxroma22
    • 3 Years

    Amazing free kick by Olise, he should be playing for a bigger team @ Liverpool/Newcastle/Spurs

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

      Talented youngster for sure

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

      then where should JWP play? ManCity, Barca, Bayern?

    3. Hughes Your Daddy

      Nah he's good with us, thanks 😉

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

      Why does he represent France, born and raised in England, his little bro represents England youth. Family connection? Will he switch or is he happy with France do we know?

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Wants a shot at winning a major international tournament I reckon

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

          Boooooooo

    Beautiful. Thats PL.

  10. Tonyawesome69
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Folks with Arsenal attackers on the bench may want to rethink that with Casemiro suspended for the game

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

      considering Salah to Saka

    2. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Who was benching Arsenal attackers?

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Folks that are planning to sell Andreas to March/Mitoma and giving themselves a benching headache

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

      Saliba over Shaw for me

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

        Yeah White over Shaw for me too.

    4. DycheDycheBaby
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Who would bench Arsenal attackers? 😀

  11. banskt
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    In hindsight, TC Haaland was a mistake. Let's see tomorrow.

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

    Arsenal are amazing + luck... This is their year.

    1. banskt
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      What luck? They have to score 90+ points to win the league. And they will.

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

        I know some teams got more than that but didn't win the league.

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

          The standard of the rest isn't as high as most seasons, possibly similar to 15/16.

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

            And Arsenal are quality. Fearless, pushing to win games. Odergaard my player of the half season.

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

      What luck?

      1. Pariße
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Lucky not to be even more thwarted by the refs.

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

      Just a great young squad to my eyes

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

    Do we know what that Leeds result does for DGW?

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Which Leeds asset are you looking at?

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

    Shaw my worst scoring defender this GW

    1. Mainoo Magic
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Same here

    2. Bruin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Your best two weeks ago, whats your point

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

    Bruno ownership will be very high if they got dgw22 now.

    1. Digital-Real
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      folk will come down from KDB or Salah.

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

      He's quite hard for people to get to if they're on 343.

      Probably would involve selling an Arsenal mid who will double the next week...

    3. Assisting the assister
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah needs KDB downgrade

    4. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Imagine if Man Utd actually got some penalties!

  16. Rupert The Horse
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    41 points with 27 on the bench. 2m OR here I come. Haven’t been there for a long time. Anybody recommend somewhere nice to stay?

    1. Optimus.
      • 15 Years

      The top 10k sounds like a nice place to stay

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

      I was there for ages. Take some punts

    3. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years

      In the mud!
      Sorry man i had to.

    4. GreennRed
      • 14 Years

      Only half time. Smart chip use and you'll bounce back up there.

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Not down about it. I’m doing so badly that I kind of find it funny. But it’s been like this for years. Had a good run back in the day though.

    6. Bobby

      I've played for years and the last four years I've been absolute garbage.

    7. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years

      Leeds

    8. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Leigh on Sea is nice

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

    who will now likely double in Gw 22?

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

    You hear “it all evens out across the season”

    Shouldn’t have been given the goal against city.

    Stonewall pen not given against Palace.

    Is what it is.

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

      What stonewall pen is this you speak of

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

        The stonewall pen incident.

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

      no it wasnt a penalty. Good refereeing

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

        Come on! I’m a City fan - that was absolutely a penalty. Don’t know how anyone can say it wasn’t without smirking.

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

            I remember that well. We got away with that massively.

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

              Ye won the league because of it

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

                Ha, but not what we did in the other 37 games?

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

      and the goal against City was valid too.
      Rashford never attempted to play the ball.. hence correctly no offside

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

        Please, for the love of God, stop watching football. Or commenting on football.

        For the sake of mankind.

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

          lol. Excellent refereeing in both occassions.
          U have to salute the refs when they do a good job

      2. Bruin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years

        Liverpool supporter, it was 100% a pen

  19. King Carlos
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Why didnt manu get a penalty? Really?

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

      MUN don’t get penalties anymore

    2. FPL Brains

      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years

      United's last and only PL penalty this season was 2nd Oct.

      Your narrative doesn't hold any weight unfortunately.

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

    That is a blatant pen on McTomminay, great to see 😆

  21. TRIPOS TOPPER
    • 8 Years

    stupid late goal costing me 10 points, also transferred Bueno out for Shaw

  22. Paganoi

    Is Gnonto gnailed?

    1. Serresiete

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

      a lackluster 48 (52-4).. would have been 58 had Shaw not given away that cheap FK

    What's Dalot's ETR? Bissaka giving him good competition for the RB spot.

  25. Snake Juice
    • 9 Years

    Good luck coming to the Emirates without Casemiro.

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      It will be a slaughter

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

      Will be a big loss to tgem surely. They could stick Martinez in DM and 'mind' Odergaard like they minded De Bruyne.

  26. Ajax Hamsterdam

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 11 Years

        Will wait til deadline yep

  27. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    No Casemiro against Arsenal is huge.

    Shaw probably on the bench for me

    I am also considering another Arsenal attacker

  28. Ange Ball
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Not looking forward to hide behind the sofa tomorrow fellow Rashford caps. Spurs will need a safe word with that defence we have.

    Never should gone against Haaland the least he will get will be 2 goals.

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Unless Haaland explodes you’ll be fine.. even a brace isn’t that much

    2. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yep am a bit worried I have to say...

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

    Kane is doing the business tomorrke

  30. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    It wasn’t a penalty imo

    1. Bruin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      It was imo, in pub with Utd supporters and love they are annoyed but it was

    2. El Presidente
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      There's clear contact, can't see if he stepped on his foot but McTominay also went down too easily...
