Thursday night sees Gameweek 37 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) come to a conclusion, as Manchester United host Chelsea at Old Trafford. A point for Erik ten Hag’s side will secure UEFA Champions League qualification for next season.

Kick-off is at 20:00 BST.

Whilst the match is on, Andy North and arch-rival Greyhead will be chatting about their teams and the week’s biggest talking points over on our YouTube channel in another exclusive video for Premium Members of Fantasy Football Scout.

The live chat will be open as usual and the stream is watchable via the embedded video below from 20:00 BST.

As for the team news, Man Utd are unchanged from the side that started their 1-0 win over Bournemouth on Saturday. That means Marcus Rashford returns as a substitute, having missed the past two games through injury and illness.

Meanwhile, Frank Lampard makes three changes from Sunday’s defeat at Manchester City, as Carney Chukwuemeka, Noni Madueke and Mykhailo Mudryk come in for Thiago Silva, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Raheem Sterling, who isn’t even on the bench.

Joao Felix, however, has recovered from the minor injury that forced him to drop out of the matchday squad last weekend and starts as a sub.

GAMEWEEK 37 LINE-UPS

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

Subs: Butland, Maguire, Rashford, Malacia, Fred, Dalot, Weghorst, McTominay, Garnacho

Chelsea XI: Kepa, Azpilicueta, W Fofana, Chalobah, Hall, Enzo, Chukwuemeka, Gallagher, Madueke, Mudryk, Havertz

Subs: Mendy, Thiago Silva, Pulisic, Felix, Loftus-Cheek, Ziyech, Koulibaly, D Fofana, Gilchrist

    Rashford coming on for 10mins is going to be real nice wee to finish the gw.

    Blocking my Tripp points, and big step towards top 10k

      I don't see him not coming on. I suspect he's not 100% otherwise he'd have started but he'll need minutes.

      Those Botman 8 points if he doesn't...

        so gutted

        I had him on free hit so at least I am free of him

        He is probably done for the season, just as we were done like a kipper by Lamps

    Carney Chukwuemeka started off the season being managed by Gerrard and finished it under Lampard.

    That's beyond bad luck.

    United fans singing they want the glazers out even though they’ve spent the most in transfers over the years is hilarious.

    I don’t know who’s worse them or the Chelsea fans.
