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.

GAMEWEEK 29 LINE-UPS

Newcastle United XI: Pope, Trippier, Schar, Botman, Burn, Guimaraes, Longstaff, Willock, Murphy, Saint-Maximin, Isak

Subs: Dubravka, Lascelles, Joelinton, Gordon, Wilson, Ritchie, Targett, Manquillo, Anderson

Manchester United XI: de Gea, Dalot, Varane, Martinez, Shaw, McTominay, Sabitzer, Antony, Fernandes, Rashford, Weghorst

Subs: Bishop, Butland, Lindelof, Maguire, Martial, Malacia, Fred, Sancho, Pellistri

    Thought I was so clever when I saw the Saka 1 pointer yesterday. Then rashers 2 pointer today has taken the shine off my captain pick

      I went with Salah in the end. So far so good.

    Should've capped Trippier instead of Maddison ffs

    1. fantasist
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 13 days ago

      Considering their defence recently and fixtures this gw, it wasn't a clear option

      1. The Philosopher
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 13 days ago

        Why not? He just assisted and keeping a CS too

        1. fantasist

          In hindsight now that you've seen the game. Not before the GW though.

    United are awful

    Everyone has Trippier in their team, not exactly a game changer.

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

      Saved my gameweek. He's got half my points.

    2. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 13 days ago

      Except for those who have only one Newc defender - a cheaper one.

  16. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Trippier back to his best - shame his points are pretty irrelevant unless captained

    1. FantasyTony
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 13 days ago

      They're good for morale though

  17. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 13 Years

    Getting in Shaw was a masterstroke.

  18. Digital-Real
    • 9 Years

    Is Isak place safe now?

    1. alastair
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 13 days ago

      Yes- he does a lot more off the ball than Wilson.

  19. Chalobah's Witness
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Isak benched against West Ham?

    1. RICICLE
