Sunday’s Premier League action concludes at The City Ground, where Nottingham Forest and Manchester United go head-to-head.

Steve Cooper’s side are currently in 18th place in the Premier League standings and are without a win since Gameweek 22, while the Red Devils were held to a disappointing 2-2 draw by Sevilla in midweek.

Kick-off is at 16:30 BST.

Raphael Varane, Lisandro Martinez, Luke Shaw and Marcus Rashford are all absent for the visitors, as Erik ten Hag makes three changes to the side that started on Thursday.

Tyrell Malacia is also missing from the matchday squad, with Victor Lindelof, Harry Maguire and Diogo Dalot coming in. That means Anthony Martial continues up front, flanked by Antony and Jadon Sancho.

As for Nott’m Forest, they make four alterations to the team that lost 2-0 to Aston Villa in Gameweek 30. Scott McKenna, Renan Lodi, Remo Freuler and Taiwo Awoniyi come in for Joe Worrall, Harry Toffolo, Jonjo Shelvey and Cheikhou Kouyate.

*Marcel Sabitzer picked up an injury in the warm-up so Christian Eriksen has replaced him in the starting XI.

GAMEWEEK 31 LINE-UPS

Nottingham Forest XI: Navas, Felipe, Niakhate, McKenna, Williams, Freuler, Danilo, Lodi, Gibbs-White, Johnson, Awoniyi

Subs: Hennessey, Worrall, Mangala, Shelvey, Lingard, Toffolo, Surridge, Dennis, Ayew

Manchester United XI: de Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Dalot, Casemiro, Eriksen, Antony, Fernandes, Sancho, Martial

Subs: Butland, Fred, Weghorst, Pellistri, Williams, Elanga, Iqbal, Jurado, Bishop

    FH32 draft - any big omissions?
    0.5itb.

    Martinez
    TAA Robbo Gabriel
    Salah Saka Eze Olise
    Kane Jesus Watkins

    (Andreas, Botman, Toti)

    1. Alan The Llama
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      As a Saka owner, I'd prefer other Arsenal mids.

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Solanke over Kane? No? 😛

    3. Shultan
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      If only going for 1 arsenal mid prefer martinelli or odegaard

    Sabitzer injured, Eriksen in

  5. Gazzpfc
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Saka a dud

    Bruno no reason to put him in

    March undecided think Martinelli a better bet

    Jesus to replace Kane

    Views?

    Sabitzer drops out with an injury in the warmup

    Eriksen starts

      Ugh presume good for Bruno owners

  7. sirmorbach
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Current dilemma: can play 10 next week without a hit. Fixtures not ideal though, and the plan was to TC GW34. Should I activate FH?

  8. tbos83

    Just had Saka and Shaw today. Brilliant.

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Saka did bits, believe he got a pen

    2. JBG
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Same.

      1. JBG
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        Well that was a lie, had Ramsdale and Martinelli as well, forgot about them. Easy to forget Ramsdale who's done nothing for me in like 10 GWs.

    3. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      and Rashford. And Zinc

  9. Dynamic Duos
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Will Laurel and Hardy keep a Cs?

    1. Mighty Quinn
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      I have DeGea so highly doubt it.

  10. jimbe4mXL

    WHOA! Zinchenko, Saka , Martinelli - 5 points, thats great, thank you 😀

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years

      Yes behind Martial

  13. Joelinton Travel Tavern

    1. g40steve

      87 mins to get a red 🙂

      1. Mighty Quinn
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        I least this comedy act can cheer me after that draw...

    2. tiger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Pretty impressive to get booked within 4 minutes to be fair to him.

  16. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Maguire in trouble early

  17. sunzip14

    2 years, 12 months ago

    I can save FH with this team for 32, right? With WC, FH and TC left, when are people with these chips planning to use it? I will probably WC33 but no idea if FH34 is better or TC34 with those Haaland fixtures.

    Allison
    White, Trippier, Mee, Moreno
    Salah, Saka, Odegaard
    Kane, Watkins, Toney

    With 1 FT, can take a punt with another Mid-priced midfielder by selling Rashford as well.

    1. Connor's Calling

      ddefo

    2. sirmorbach
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Similar dilemma myself—though your team looks significantly better than mine for next week. I'll probably TC 34.

  18. Rainer

    Maguire is up there with Messi for me.

    When he's on the pitch you just can't look away!

    1. Mighty Quinn
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Kinda like a car pile up on the motorway.

  19. Dynamic Duos
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Hardy doing bits already lol

  20. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Who will get the first RC, Casemiro or Maguire?

  21. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Not looking good for DDG

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Classic

  22. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Why are people acting like it is no longer in Arsenal’s hands?
    It still is

    1. Mighty Quinn
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Is this some grade A Spurs trolling or ?

    2. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      I think thats the problem

    3. Mighty Quinn
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      I appreciate City can be got at but it's a huge ask. If (and it's a big "IF") we manage to beat them, we have a couple of banana skins along this Mario Kart track. Today felt like the blue shell.

  23. Supersonic_
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Maguire...

  24. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Sancho wtf

  25. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Come on Neco baby

    1. Mighty Quinn
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      0-0 would be great

  26. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    DDG struggling

    1. Mighty Quinn
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Oh no. My only investment in this game.

    2. Dynamic Duos
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      He just wants off pitch because he has Laurel and Hardy infront of him

  27. tiger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Now De Gea has a problem...Man Utd are broken

  28. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    AWB looks like Earthworm Jim

  29. The Senate
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Johnson injured himself running into Lindelof

    Dropping like flies this match

  30. g40steve

    1. Mighty Quinn
      • 11 Years

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Don't go there!
