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.

    The Leeds counters...

    I don't want to have hope for Gnonto but you never know...

    No Casemiro or AWB a massive help!

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

    Rashford would have buried that Gernacho!

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

    Fun fact.
    If you look up 12th century medieval haircut, you get a photo of Garnacho

    1. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      He’s got medieval teeth too

  4. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Toney to Nketiah or Toney Martineli to Nketiah Saka -4?

    1. Fellaini's Fro
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Both seems OK with the extra fixtures

    2. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I'm tempted by your -4 maneuver, Gigi.

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

        Cheers!

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

    Struijk me!

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

      Struijk first
      Struijk hard
      No mercy

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

    Damn Rashy concussed Pascal with his shot. Being substituted

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

      SoT?

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

        No it was just a wild shot outside the box.

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

    Firpo vs Rashford potentially...

  8. The Mandalorian
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Rashford goal blocked by Struijks face.

  9. Weak Become Heros
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Get up you tart, its just leather and air!

  10. DaniCT
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    looked like Rashy put some effort in that shot.

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

    Some Struijk that

  12. Fellaini's Fro
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    I'm not sure about bringing in Mahrez. (have 3 ars, haaland Ederson), feels like I've missed his hauls and rotations impending.

    I need to swap a 25 blanker for a doubler. Is anyone considering Robbo this week against toothless Everton? (for luke Shaw) or is Liverpool just a hard avoid right now?

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

      Kind of thinking the same for a City mid. It would be for a hit this week, then I would most likely be getting them out in GW 25 to facilitate Salah. So would actually be in for a hit, then out for a hit. Might not be worth a -8 over the next few weeks.

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

    This'll finish 0-1

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Absolutely zero chance of that imo

  14. The Mandalorian
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Leeds lose a second player.

    Ten Hags plan.

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

    I don't get these tactics from Ten Hag. His best player is being played out of position for a youngster.

    1. The Big Fella
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      It will change at 60 and then he’ll get another goal

  16. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Leeds already used 2 subs and Bamford still has 65 minutes to go.

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

      Wasn't Struijk a concussion sub?

      1. The FPL Units
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        yes

  17. Alan The Llama
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Everton weren't toothless at the weekend. If anything they had extra teeth.
    I'd expect them to score against Liverpool.

    1. Alan The Llama
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Oops

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

    Another shot by Garnacho that Rashford would have buried.

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

      It was open goal as well. No keeper. Just defenders.

  19. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Nacho could score in an open goal

  20. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Garnacho blocking Bruno points here FFS!

  21. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    3 years, 2 months ago

    Time to sell united assets, back to being rubbish again

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I expected more from you

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

      Ten Hags got it all wrong today playing Rashford on the right

      1. The Big Fella
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        He’ll change it up second half

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

          Will be too late by then

          1. RICICLE
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            With a Whole half to play?

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

              He won't change it till 60th minute at least because of some unwritten rule managers are afraid of changing when something isn't working.

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

      This is some significant steps away from their first XI

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

        No Lingard

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

    It's 2-1 if Rashford is on the left.

    It's also Rashford G x2 & Bruno A x2.

    1. The Big Fella
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I know *sigh*

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

      Yeah 🙁

  23. Salalalalah
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Gernacho ruining all Rashford points!

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      This & Wegs gone missing & need’s removing

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

    🙁

  25. Feanor
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Dive by Garnacho

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      3/10

  26. The Mandalorian
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    United players don't want to pass to Weghorst.

    Can't think why 🙂

    1. The Big Fella
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      They should just pass to rashford then

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

      That's why... lovely pass by Varane.

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

    Wonder where Garnacho learned that?

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      From he who shall not be named

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

        It took a lot more than that for Voldermort to go down!

  28. Salan
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Silly to put Rashford on right side.

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Tinkering to fit Nacho in

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

    Gotta congratulate Knights Template on this one

    1. The Big Fella
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      What did he say?

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

        Led the Gnonto train

        1. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          All aboard …… such a fun player to watch and own … allows the switch to 352 beautifully too.

          1. FCHaalandaise
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Mitoma Gnonto Ode Saka Mahrez?
