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.

        Nope , its akin to a very decent athletic college Basketball player thinking he can play against a journey man overweight NBA bench player. There are videos of this and the levels of difference are just way beyond what people think

        Weghorst is so far ahead of 99.99% of all academy pro players it would be embarassing

              Levy is a tool but believe me he is the most stubborn man on the planet. He said after Berbatov he would never deal with UTD again and he hasn't. Impossible to reason with people like that
