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

    Fernandes hits the bar lol he is some points dodger

  2. Gizzachance

    Rash comes on, lose bench pts, now shaw off, ml rival has no Utd def or Bruno

    1. Goodfeathers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I feel your pain

  3. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …

    Everyone laughing at Mudryk but not at Enzo who also cost £100m and is also garbage.

    1. Salalalalah
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      A good manager will get the best out of Enzo, he is world class but there is no confidence or spirit in this Chelsea team

      1. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        You’re not automatically world class if you win the World Cup.

        Mertesacker and Mustafi were world class if that’s the case,

        1. x.jim.x
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Mustafi and Mertesacker didn’t have the performances that he did. Mudryk hasn’t shown anything to suggest he’s capable of that level.

          1. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
            • 5 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            Half a season at Benfica half a season at the worse ever Chelsea and now he’s world class?

            1. x.jim.x
              • 11 Years
              2 years, 10 months ago

              I never said that, I said he showed his quality at the World Cup, hence the pricetag. Mudryk is just bizarre, they did you lot a favour.

        2. Hairy Potter
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          And Stéphane Guivarc'h

          1. Hairy Potter
            • 10 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            Having said that Fernandez does look a good player and expect him to do well next season.

          2. The Ilfordian
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            Did he play with Django Rheinhardt?

            1. Hairy Potter
              • 10 Years
              2 years, 10 months ago

              Might as well have done

        3. Revival
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Arsenal must have signed Mertesacker's bad twin brother

  4. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Bruno sitter

  5. JBG
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Omfg! First Shaw gets subbed off and then Bruno does that...

  6. Salalalalah
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Bruno and Mitoma do not like points!

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Got both

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        So do I. And my team hasn't like points this season. (Partly my fault, partly bad luck.)

  7. Ady87
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Did woodwork to be hit 12/1 pre game for fun because Bruno hits the woodwork a lot. I own him and need about 4 points from him to win 2 cup ties in my MLs but I’ll take the cash.

  8. sminkypinky
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    That miss is going to cost me in all probability around 800€.

  9. Twisted Saltergater
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Bruno(c) has been painful this DGW

    1. It's Fergie Time
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

        • 10 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

  11. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Lewis Hall looks very out of place in this Chelsea side...

    1. Hooky
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Because he can control the ball?

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah, seems capable. Rare!

      2. Zalk
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Probably, I was thinking he's doing fine here.

    2. Monklane
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Is he good at football?

  12. N00B
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Will Firmino play versus Southampton?

    I can do this:
    - Antony and Alvarez out
    - Ramsey/ Olise/ Doucore and Firmino in

  13. Fabreghastly
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Bruno getting closer every week. He'll score in 39

    1. Monklane
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      2039?

  14. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    In desperate need of a couple of returns for Bruno, Rashford and even Dalot if he ever comes off the damn bench… just isn’t going to happen, is it?

    1. DycheDycheBaby
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      No it isn't. 100% sure of that.

      1. FPL Scoop
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Drat!

      1. The Ilfordian
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

  16. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Looking forward to fewer DGWs next season!

    1. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Ha, same, always usually a trap, benchings no shows etc

    2. Zalk
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Hm, why would there be?

    3. Hooky
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Charles might die next season?

    4. ZimZalabim
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      one normal day of barclays, thats all I ask

      but it will never happen

  17. Zalk
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Great...both Akanji and Shaw dodging clean sheets for me.

  18. Norco
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Needed Bruno to help me close the gap with the ML leaders. This is pain week in and week out

  19. The Ilfordian
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Have we finished slagging off Martial for a bit and turned on Bruno? I can see where this is heading

  20. Hooky
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Rashford needs to come off here. No need to take any chances with him

    1. Digital-Real
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      screw his FA Cup Final. I want some FPL points from him

  21. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Rashford is not moving freely since he came on

    1. Danno - Emre Canada
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      There seems to be something up, doesn’t seem that interested, be it physical or mental. That was better at least.

  22. Drumandbaines123
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Almost time for a Bruno YC to really rub some salt in

  23. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    This GW has been a right c@nt

  24. FPL Pillars
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    What a disappointment of a gameweek

  25. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Always hard to tell if the divers are actually injured, Rashford continues for now...

  26. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Shaw Rank Demotion.

  27. KanuLenoMeeMoCash
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Rashford looks terrible ofc

  28. fantasist
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Hall probably Chelsea's best player

  29. Twisted Saltergater
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Double save for De Gea. Nice.

  30. Hooky
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    DDG is going to get max bps at this rate!
