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.

      Will United full it back for a draw.

      Just shows a new manager or threat of one players always play better

      Why as they are usually the cause of the problem

    This is what happens when u experiment with tactics unnecessarily Ten Hag

    1. x.jim.x
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Tactics? Half the squad’s unavailable.

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

        Rashford on the right. They'd be on 2 goals if he was in his natural position from the start

        1. x.jim.x
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Garnacho can’t play on the right, Sancho isn’t fit.

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

            He can't play on the left either it seems

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

            Rashford can't play there either and he's their best player.

            1. x.jim.x
              • 11 Years
              3 years, 2 months ago

              He’s had good games on the right before, Garnacho having a howler which he can’t predict.

  5. Robson-Canoe
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Wow clear handball not given

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years

  6. Ady87
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Varane OG.

    So, to summarise, sack your manager.

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

      1. RICICLE
        • 3 Years

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

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

    This Garnacho makes the difference.

  22. Our Tiny Windows
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    Is it looking like Rashford might still score?

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

      Was moved to the left but has been absent

  23. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON

    3 years, 2 months ago

    In other news, Australia starts moaning about the pitch already!

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

      and rightly so

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Never seen Australia prepare spin friendly wickets to welcome sub continental teams in their backyard! It's called touring away for a reason.

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

          But changing rules constantly and taking home advantage is making cricket a complete joke.

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

      As rough as sandpaper!

  24. gooberman

    Weghorst is just so poor. Literally offers nothing. Not sure why United didn't buy a striker in the transfer window.

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      surely they knew he was rubbish, one goal doesn't make a player

    2. x.jim.x
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      No budget.

  25. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Arsenal girlies beating City.

  26. Isco Disco
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Hahahahaha
    The real Man United we all know are back lol
    Can’t believe some of the delusional Utd fans came out of hiding after years to claim they’re back fighting for title after beating most of the bottom half teams! Go back to your cave Utd fans

  27. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years

    Get that horse off the field
