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

    What a terrible breakaway. Trying to be waaay too clever - should have passed to Rashy instead.

    Well if Rashford gets a shedload of points then at least the owners (inc my ML rival) will deserve them. Unlike those, imo, who kept Trippier benched. Just saying ...

      I benched Trippier for Isak, Grealish and Rashford. Isak although on the left was facing an awful Foxes defence and although how slim the chances were Grealish could have played over 100 minutes in a City team. And obviously Rashford was too late. Not sure if I would have done any different as always going to play TAA and Shaw so that leaves benching Etsu and his two games, would you have done much different????…

        Well all I can say is that I benched Isak and played Trippier and Etsu. I can certainly add that I was lucky because Smith benched Maddison and Barnes to park the bus.

      It was Martial who used to get them for him the most, with tight dribbling in the box. But his first touch and generalt play has turn to absolute sh*t.
