A tasty clash between Manchester United and Chelsea rounds off the day’s Fantasy Premier League (FPL) action.

Kick-off at Old Trafford is at 16:30 GMT.

Ruud van Nistelrooy has made three changes from the side that beat Leicester City 5-2 in the Carabao Cup.

Andre Onana, Noussair Mazraoui and Rasmus Hojlund come into the starting XI, with Altay Bayindir, Victor Lindelof and Joshua Zirkzee dropping out.

As for Chelsea, Enzo Maresca names the same team that beat Newcastle United last time out.

It means Pedro Neto keeps his place, with Jadon Sancho both ill and ineligible to feature against his parent club.

LINE-UPS

Manchester United XI: Onana, Mazraoui, de Ligt, Martinez, Dalot, Ugarte, Casemiro, Garnacho, Fernandes, Rashford, Hojlund

Subs: Bayindir, Amass, Evans, Lindelof, Fletcher, Fitzgerald, Amad, Zirkzee, Wheatley

Chelsea XI: Sanchez, James, Fofana, Colwill, Gusto, Caicedo, Lavia, Madueke, Palmer, Neto, Jackson

Subs: Jorgensen, Cucurella, Tosin, Badiashile, Enzo, Mudryk, Felix, Nkunku, Veiga

One thing is evident. In van Nistelrooy’s short tenure as Man Utd coach, Garnacho learned nothing about shooting.

      Cannot believe a hit has paid off massively by removing Haaland haha!

Was gonna do DCL > Jackson, but best leaving now with him on 4 YC’s?

Ideal options now are:

A) Wissa
B) Raul
C) Welbeck

Anyone pondering the same?

      Brighton can score against anyone, besides City defence isn't exactly impenetrable. Bournemouth is also a perfectly fine fixture. If we've learned anything from this season, it's that form outweighs fixtures.

    Fabianski
    Lewis - RAN - Gabriel
    Mbuemo - Salah - Palmer - Son
    DCL - Solanke - Cunha

I want to wildcard in gw12. I'm thinking of a simple Watkins -> Solanke and possibly captaining him. Sound reasonable?

Henderson, 4M
Robinson, TAA, Gvardiol, Alt Nouri, 4M
Smith Rowe, Rogers, Mbuemo, Salah, 4.5M
R.Jiminez, Watkins, Haaland

    I also did Palmer -> Salah last week, when Palmer was the rage in town. I got some interesting comments. 😀
    
    So I'm not following the crowd really. I'm considering Salah -> Son, but I just think Solanke would be okay, and I keep Salah longer term.
