Bournemouth face Manchester United in the first of two Premier League matches to take place on Sunday.

Kick-off at the Vitality Stadium is at 14:00 BST.

Andoni Iraola names the same team that started the 0-0 draw with Crystal Palace in Gameweek 33.

That means Kepa Arrizabalaga, Milos Kerkez and Justin Kluivert, the only players on show with a double-digit ownership in the top 10k, all start.

Ruben Amorim makes five changes to his starting XI, however.

Harry Maguire, Leny Yoro, Luke Shaw, Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes come in.

Victor Lindelof, Tyler Fredricson, Harry Amass, Manuel Ugarte and Christian Eriksen drop to the bench.

    How come Liverpool kick off to win the league at the same time as the FA Cup semi final at Wembley for Forest and Man City?

    I reckon Liverpool would have taken an evening game even if Spurs fans got stranded.

            Doubt there would be more stategys as everyone would play BB the same week as FH so instead of 2 chips it would feel like 1 OP chip.

              Not really - because in reality you’d be able to combine any one of the chips.

                Doubt it as in WC you want to have a cheaper bench to maximize on field value, with FH/BB you can spread it all around for just 1 week for those specific fixtures, cant see anyone not combining those 2 chips if given the choice.

              Also you can do well on each chip in isolation ...

              I got a 25% rank rise with 94-4 points last week BB and currently on a FH score of 67 points with triple Liverpool to come and a 25% rank rise as it stands.

              With better bench points last week too.

                You did well then, I’m just saying if you had the option of doing it would open up the game more, more discussions, more strategies, more content for creators.
