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.

      Too soon.

  4. Salan
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    If Rash plays upfront with Sancho from start, ManU will be winning 3+ goals

  5. Paganoi
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Oh sweet Baby Jesus let Rashy get the winner. TC!

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years

      God I hope so’

  6. BECKS TO THE FUTURE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Argh. Don’t think we’ll get the Shaw assist. He made that goal. Erik ten Argh.

    1. SirWenger
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Rule should be changes..he defo created Sanchos goal

  7. TheTinman
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Bruno is basically playing CF right now

  8. The Senate
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Shaw assist to come? How deflected was it?

    1. BECKS TO THE FUTURE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Very. Which is a shame 🙁

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

      0% chance kind of deflection

    3. Miniboss
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      On scale of 1-10? Maybe 5.

    4. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      dramatically

      180o

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        * 90o deflection from along the line to the edge of the box pretty much

  9. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Oops looks like capping Bruno over Rashford was being a bit too clever

    1. TheTinman
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      It ain't over. A winning goal would probably snag all the baps

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        True, need a dodgy pen

    2. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I'd say so
      Overthinking is dangerous.

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        True but glad I have both lol

        1. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Rashford almost had the chance for the 3-2 winner

  10. Emmaloustanway
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Is it worth taking a -4 to get H Kane in along with Gnonto and Tarkowski for Toney, Mitro, Shaw? Team for DGW23 will then be DGD (Ward); Trips, Schar, Gabriel (Bueno, Tarkowski); Rashford, Saka, Oodegard, De Bruyne (Andreas); Haaland, Kane, Gnonto? Very torn between this and playing it safe with a single transfer!

  11. Baps Hunter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Looks like 20 green arrows and one grey atm.

  12. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Can't complain with 103 points

  13. Old Wulfrunian
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

      1. Old Wulfrunian
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

  14. Boss Hogg
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Steve Bruce to steam in with a couple of late headers to win this one.
    Bruuuuuuucccccce.

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      need a few corners

  15. EDUARDO DA SILVA
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Trashy and leeds goal

  16. TheTinman
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Gnonto diving

  17. Zimo
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    That should be a red for Firpo. Why is that a yellow!!!!

    1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Too far away.

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

      Not the last man

  18. Drop Dead Tsimikas
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

  19. Salan

    3 years, 4 months ago

    Nearly a red

  20. Zimo
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

  21. BeaversWithAttitude
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Marcus was on his bike! What a shame.

  22. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Where’s my Shaw assist?

    1. SirWenger
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      ROBBED by Mark

    2. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      It’s there, check palace game

  23. Free Hat
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Bruno owners pretty unlucky with assists so far

    1. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      True. Could have had 3.

    2. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Yes, but with TC Rashford we are not crying.

  24. Haalander
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Bruno attacking returns loading …

  25. TheTinman
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Varane should have buried that though

  26. Drop Dead Tsimikas
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    My best TC before this had been Firmino with 9. Come on, Rashy, get another one!

  27. Sandy Ravage
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    spare a thought for Varane & (C)asemiro owners

    1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      All two of them?

  28. Drop Dead Tsimikas
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Casemiro's MVP status basically confirmed today.

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Yes. Perfected the WWE chokehold.

  29. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Bruno no shot on target for gods sake

  30. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    How many times has Fred gave the ball away
