The final match of Gameweek 22 features the only two teams who ‘doubled’, Manchester United and Leeds United.

Kick-off at Old Trafford is at 20:00 GMT.

All three of Erik ten Hag’s changes this evening are enforced, with two of them concerning players we knew would miss out.

Marcel Sabitzer makes his first start for the Red Devils in place of the suspended Casemiro, while Alejandro Garnacho comes in for the injured Antony.

The one unexpected alteration sees Diogo Dalot take the place of Aaron Wan-Bissaka at right-back.

Ten Hag revealed ahead of kick-off that Wan-Bissaka is suffering from an illness.

Anthony Martial is absent from the matchday squad with a hip problem, as previously disclosed by ten Hag in his pre-match presser.

Leeds begin life without Jesse Marsch and have caretaker boss Michael Skubala at the helm.

Skubala makes two changes from Marsch’s final line-up, with Robin Koch recalled after suspension and Weston McKennie handed his full debut.

Liam Cooper and Marc Roca drop out of both the starting XI and the matchday squad altogether.

Both players are suffering from knocks, according to their interim head coach.

Manchester United XI: De Gea, Dalot, Varane, Martinez, Shaw, Sabitzer, Fred, Garnacho, Fernandes, Rashford, Weghorst.

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      2B

  10. The Knights Template
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    I’d like to see more of Garnacho’s sensible medieval haircut across the PL. Hopefully it takes off.

  11. M2.0
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    In isolation…

    a) Bruno > KDB or
    b) Martinelli > Saka

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

      B

    2. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      B due to Trossard affecting Martinelli's game time.

    3. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      A

      Even if Trossard cuts into Martinelli’s minutes, he will likely still play a part in both matches. Going with option B means one less match for your team.

  12. TheTinman
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Bamford masterclass coming right up!

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

      Needs a Garnacho-cut.

  13. _Ninja_
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Best move here? 1FT 3.2m ITB

    A Martinelli to Saka
    B Martinelli/Toney to Mahrez/Nketiah -4

    Ederson
    Trippier Schar White
    Bruno Rashford Odegaard Martinelli
    Haaland Kane Toney

    Kepa Andreas Shaw Bueno

    1. g40steve

      I’m doing something similar to B.

      How many blank 25 you got?

      1. _Ninja_
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        If i do B i'll have 5 so need to get rid of 2 (Schar/Bruno) by 25.

  14. PogChamp
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Bruno tc. Another goal would be sweet

  15. Blue Moon Rising
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Bruno in for Salah? - Skysports

  16. Ze_Austin
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Looks like 4-2-3-1 with Bruno CAM, which should be good for his attacking stats

    1. TomSaints
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Come on goal and assist

  17. The Abyss
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    It’ll be spikey tonight. Can see a Rashford dismissal coming up.

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years

      Dismissal of Leeds with a 5 goal haul?

  18. Rainer
    • 9 Years

    Some of the adverts on American TV are mad! 😆

    1. AC/DC AFC

  19. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Harry Wilson

    FA Cup at Sunderland

  20. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Leeds United will be fighting back to Manchester Victoria or Picadilly railway stations...

    .... marching on together, but will they have the fight on the pitch.

    I bet they give it a go.

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Saka in for Martinelli. Lost confidence in Martinelli and need him gone for 2 DWK's and Johnson in for Mitro 4ph.
    Seriously thinking of benching Mahrez. Fed up of pep-roulette.
    Arrizabalaga
    Botman - Trippier - White
    Mahrez - Odegaard - Rashford - Fernandes
    Mitrovic - Kane - Haaland
    Bench: Ward - Shaw - Martinelli - Walker

  22. RWB_1991
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Start one in gw23?

    A) Shaw
    B) Estupinan

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      You will know better once this game ends.

      1. RWB_1991
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Fair point

  23. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Ayling to go all out old school defense on Rashford

  24. TomSaints
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    TC Fernandes started so well but has slowly gone down hill.

    Just hoping the damage is less than 10 points now =[

  25. Zimo
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Gnonto goal

  26. tiger
