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

    6ft 7 Dan Burn in my team. I do enjoy it when Newcastle have a corner and play it short and then the ball doesn't come into the box.

      I was thinking that Trippier doesn't have him in his team.

    2. mookie
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 18 hours ago

      He's averaging a goal every 3000+ minutes...

    3. The Mentaculus

      Good to hear that you do find some enjoyment somewhere

  6. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 18 hours ago

    That would've been a lovely combo Murphy to Burn

    I tip my hat off to anyone who has Barnes.

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 18 hours ago

      Gordon plays in the same position as Barnes....

      1. Hughes Your Daddy
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 18 hours ago

      • 13 Years
