Sunday’s fourth and final Premier League match sees Newcastle United take on Manchester United at St James’ Park.

This game, for many Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers, is perhaps the most eagerly anticipated fixture of the weekend, with the Magpies one of just two teams playing twice in Double Gameweek 32.

412,981 Fantasy bosses have thrown the Triple Captain armband on Alexander Isak, too.

Kick-off is at 16:30 BST.

With Eddie Howe absent, having been admitted to hospital late on Friday, assistant managers Jason Tindall and Graeme Jones will take charge of this match for Newcastle.

The Magpies are unchanged, but Anthony Gordon is fit enough to return to the bench after recovering from a hip issue.

Meanwhile, Man Utd goalkeeper Andre Onana has been dropped, having made two errors on Thursday as Ruben Amorim’s side were held to a 2-2 draw by Lyon.

He is replaced by Altay Bayindir.

Elsewhere, Harry Maguire, Casemiro, Patrick Dorgu and Rasmus Hojlund drop to the bench, with Victor Lindelof, Christian Eriksen, Harry Amass and Joshua Zirkzee coming into the starting XI.

LINE-UPS

Newcastle United XI: Pope, Trippier, Schar, Burn, Livramento, Tonali, Guimaraes, Joelinton, Murphy, Barnes, Isak

Subs: Dubravka, Targett, Krafth, Miley, Longstaff, Gordon, Neave, Osula, Wilson

Manchester United XI: Bayindir, Mazraoui, Lindelof, Yoro, Dalot, Ugarte, Eriksen, Amass, Fernandes, Garnacho, Zirkzee

Subs: Heaton, Heaven, Maguire, Shaw, Casemiro, Dorgu, Mainoo, Mount, Hojlund

        As long as Isak doesn’t bang in the next gameweek, this has paid off very nicely!

      Howe AM has been good but going for Trippier over Murphy / Barnes has been a generational error

          I considered Murphy a lot but I don't think anyone predicted he'd do this well, it's just typical

        i think with AM u have to prioirtise the attackers over def as the 3rd pick. clean sheets for defs almost certainly guarantee u at least 9 points on AM anyway (unless its a 0-0). that was my reasoning for murphy over def last week. easy to say in hindsight but im looking at this again for next gw now. will go ars attacker over def with 3rd spot

      Has a manager ever been honest in an interview and just said the team he is managing is full of poor players?

        I like it. I think I'd go for it. 36 is too unknown. Haaland might not be fit, and who knows Marmoush could get injured by then. I'd use it now whilst there is a double and Marmoush is in form.
