Newcastle United entertain Manchester United at St James’ Park in the final Premier League match of the day.

Kick-off is at 16:30 BST.

The big Fantasy Premier League (FPL) news is that Marcus Rashford is passed fit to start, as Erik ten Hag makes three changes from his side’s last outing in the FA Cup.

In come Raphael Varane, Diogo Dalot and Antony, with Harry Maguire, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Jadon Sancho making way. Anthony Martial, meanwhile, is named among the substitutes after overcoming a hip problem.

As for Newcastle, they are unchanged from the side that beat Nottingham Forest 2-1 in Gameweek 28.

That means Nick Pope and Sven Botman both start despite missing international duty with knocks, while Antony Gordon and Callum Wilson make the bench.

          Can see why ETH wanted FDJ this summer. Our ball retention is terrible.

          DDG doesn’t help with this as he can’t play out from the back confidently.

          Martial is a sick note. And Weghorst is awful.

          Still weaknesses that need addressing.

            You can see how important a keeper with good distribution would be to how ETH wants this team to play.

            With that said, DDG still saves their butts quite often. If they make a Claudio Bravo style signing, they could end up in big trouble.

              Yep. And I hear your point, it all depends if we can get a midfielder who is all about ball retention and a striker who actually holds up the ball with good link up play.
