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

  8. Feanor
    • 17 Years

    Chelsea would do better if Lampard was on the field tonight.

  9. fantasist
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 21 days ago

    Rashford will get 60 mins too.

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 21 days ago

      Good point

  10. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 21 days ago

    CS point still alive!

  11. Drop Dead Tsimikas
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 21 days ago

    Welp, that's better than Isak off my bench or a 1-point cameo, certainly.

  12. MGD
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 21 days ago

    FANTASTIC i have Antony and all rivals have Rashford.

    Gg this season already, pain in the a.s.s.

    Unbelievable.

  13. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 21 days ago

    Alright get him off already

  14. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 21 days ago

    Running down the clock until 30 mins

  15. Make FPL Casual Again

    Bruno has returned s fa in ages, so wouldnt have normally kept much less captained, but hey, hands up those content creators influenced me, "he was very unlucky and due a massive haul...."

    1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 21 days ago

      Still more than an hour left.

    2. Hairy Potter
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 21 days ago

      Could still haul, but Man Utd aren't a very attacking team. They primarily defend and hope to catch the opponents on the break.

  16. ClassiX
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 21 days ago

    Torn ankle ligaments, methinks.

  17. jason_ni
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 21 days ago

    Trips 9 would have took me to 10k, but hey ho, rashford was always going to come on, so at least he gets 60mins plus to do something.

  18. GENERATION X
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 21 days ago

    There goes my captain. Sums up last few weeks

  19. Andy_Social
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 21 days ago

    Get Garnacho on

  20. lilmessipran
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 21 days ago

    Rashford 2 points>1 point small wins

    1. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 21 days ago

      3 points! Chelsea are too poo to score.

      1. lilmessipran
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 21 days ago

        That's a big win I will take it

  21. DannyDrinkVodka
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 21 days ago

    Rashford coming on would be good for Bruno points

  22. Kodap
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 21 days ago

    Is Rashford on?

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 21 days ago

      Yes

  23. Skout
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 21 days ago

    Rash was gonna come on at some point so I guess it’s better he comes on now….

    1. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 21 days ago

      True

  24. JBG
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 21 days ago

    Give him an Oscar... even pretending to carry him off.

  25. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 21 days ago

    Hope he's back for pre-season. Looks a bad one 🙁

  26. Andy_Social
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 21 days ago

    Rashie gets his 60 mins point too!

    1. DycheDycheBaby
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 21 days ago

      Beautiful stuff

    2. Fabreghastly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 21 days ago

      Assuming he doesn't get subbed later

      1. Corkyote FFS CWC Champion 2…
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 21 days ago

        Precisely he might not finish the game if they’re winning and want to protect him

  27. Digital-Real
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 21 days ago

    so called experts and content creators promoted Anthony hard for DG37!!

    1. x.jim.x
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 21 days ago

      How did they not see this coming!?!

      1. JBG
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 21 days ago

        I know! Surely the content creators with ITK contacts should have foreseen this.

        1. x.jim.x
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 21 days ago

          Bloke’s scored once since October, why would you pick him

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 21 days ago

      Shocking they didn't foresee an injury!

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 21 days ago

        Wasn’t too difficult to foresee; even the Man Utd players didn’t go over to see how he was until they saw the stretcher

    3. Danno - Emre Canada
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 21 days ago

      Did they not predict a broken ankle?!?!? How very dare they!

      1. Andy_Social
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 21 days ago

        I stubbed my toe this morning. Bl00dy content creators!!!!

  28. DycheDycheBaby
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 21 days ago

    HERE HE COMES!!!

  29. fantasist
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 21 days ago

    Rashford should be able to produce the goods. Lots of space to run at the Chelsea defence.

  30. Twisted Saltergater
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 21 days ago

    Get Rashford on before 30 mins

    1. fantasist
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 21 days ago

      He's on

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 21 days ago

        I’m on dial up
