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.

    GW25 forecast Blank weekend fixtures with Man United/Newcastle United/Brentford & Brighton not playing I was struggling to work out best options to try to obtain 11 starters.

    Just seen fixtures seem to have changed -unsure when now Everton/Arsenal/Liverpool/Wolves have DGW -wow

    When was this announced?

  23. Sun Jihai

    Still some more goals needed from Rashford to match Haaland’s probable hattrick(s) in his DGW 😉

  24. Sif
    • 13 Years

    TC is the worst chip they say...

      .....quickly makes a mud bath

  26. Free Hat

    Found it harsh on Aaronson to be benched twice in a row.
    Has been one the few bright sparks in that leeds team

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

      unfortunately too lightweight a lot of the time, needed a break imo

  27. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    We're gonna need a Dalot YC.

  28. Kodap
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Painful one, went ballsy with Bruno TC instead of Rash, nearly everyone in the main leagues went Rash, eek

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

      Probs still come out on top tbf

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

        fairly large point swing atm, 36 for Bruno, 57 Rashy.

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

          1 goal

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

      Yeah same. Could be costly. Let’s hope Bruno does something or United get a penalty

    3. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Do you usually win when playing against bookies odds?

    Score please Bruno!
