Three more matches follow on from Newcastle United v Chelsea on a busy day of Premier League football.

Ruben Amorim has made six changes to his starting line-up from the midweek win over Athletic Club.

Altay Bayindir, Luke Shaw, Harry Amass, Kobbie Mainoo, Mason Mount and Amad Diallo come into the side as Andre Onana, Victor Lindelof, Harry Maguire, Patrick Dorgu, Casemiro and Alejandro Garnacho make way.

As for the visitors, Graham Potter brings in Vladimir Coufal, Guido Rodriguez and James Ward-Prowse for Emerson Palmieri, Lucas Paqueta and Niclas Fullkrug.

There is just one change across the two teams at the City Ground, with Morato starting for the hosts in place of the injured Murillo.

Tottenham Hotspur boss Ange Postecoglou has rested many of the players who started Thursday’s UEFA Europa League semi-final win away to Bodo/Glimt, with eight changes in total.

Out go Guglielmo Vicario, Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, Destiny Udogie, Yves Bissouma, Brennan Johnson, Richarlison and Dominic Solanke.

In come Antonin Kinsky, Kevin Danso, Ben Davies, Djed Spence, Archie Gray, Pape Matar Sarr, Wilson Odobert and Mathys Tel.

Son Heung-min is back on the bench after missing the last four league matches with injury. 

Oliver Glasner’s two alterations see the injured Adam Wharton and benched Daichi Kamada replaced by Jefferson Lerma and Will Hughes.

    1. Gubby-Allen
      • 4 Years
      10 months, 22 days ago

      All footballera.pregnant wives suck their thumbs apparently
      Odd habit

      1. keefy59
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        10 months, 22 days ago

        Thanks but I was being a bit sarcastic .

  5. denial

  6. JBG

      McKenna & RVN
      Doing a fine job keeping Utd in the PL

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 months, 22 days ago

        Utd league position is irrelevant. If they were ever actually at risk they wouldn’t be playing the line ups they have been for weeks now…

        1. Busoni
          • 6 Years
          10 months, 22 days ago

          It's willful ignorance of banter merchants.
          Are they bad? Yes. Is the first team 17th bad? No.

  8. Sandy Ravage
    • 10 Years
    10 months, 22 days ago

    Wow! BB not going great so far....

    1. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      10 months, 22 days ago

      Me neither. 3 forest defenders lol

    2. Sandy Ravage
      • 10 Years
      10 months, 22 days ago

      BB looking a lot better now with Sarr & Munoz assists...

  9. keefy59
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    10 months, 22 days ago

    Man Utd currently 17th in the PL table !

  10. Hughes Your Daddy
    • 13 Years
    10 months, 22 days ago

    Munoz off the bar 🙁

    1. Sgt. Schultz
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 22 days ago

      would hve been Mateta A

  11. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years
    10 months, 22 days ago

    Get involved AWB

  12. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
    • 9 Years
    10 months, 22 days ago

    Munoz has been so attacking

    1. Kaneyonero
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 22 days ago

      He needs to get so points

  13. Cruyff's Eleven
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    10 months, 22 days ago

    Has someone mentioned ManU position on the table yet?

    1. BeaversWithAttitude
      • 7 Years
      10 months, 22 days ago

      Yes.

      1. Cruyff's Eleven
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        10 months, 22 days ago

        Ha ha. Thanks champ.

    2. Bobby Crush
      • 11 Years
      10 months, 22 days ago

      You just did.

  14. Powers106
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    10 months, 22 days ago

    My worst transfer of the season has clearly been bringing in Sels in GW29

    1. Thicksolidtight
      • 3 Years
      10 months, 22 days ago

      That is unfortunate, their defence looked so good prior.

      It's just pure fantasy football encased in the shell of a sick and twisted nut.

    2. mixology
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 months, 22 days ago

      Things change towards end of season. Hard to pinpoint at times. Look how many cleanies Man City are getting now, I didn’t see that coming

      1. Thicksolidtight
        • 3 Years
        10 months, 22 days ago

        This is both the art and the luck of fantasy football

  15. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 months, 22 days ago

    Has anyone mentioned that of the 72 teams that competed in the champions league and Europa league this season, Manchester Utd are the only team undefeated?

    1. Cruyff's Eleven
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      10 months, 22 days ago

      This ^

    2. Thicksolidtight
      • 3 Years
      10 months, 22 days ago

      How many of those 72 are 1 league position above the relegation zone in their domestic leagues?

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 months, 22 days ago

        How many of them have been playing second string teams for weeks

        1. Thicksolidtight
          • 3 Years
          10 months, 22 days ago

          I have no idea. Questions questions, but where oh where are the answers?

          Leeds United and Man United engaged in a relegation scrap will make next season incredibly entertaining.

          1. FPL Blow-In
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            10 months, 22 days ago

            No chance. It will be Man United and Sunderland 😉

            1. Thicksolidtight
              • 3 Years
              10 months, 22 days ago

              Hehe! Hope so!

    3. BeaversWithAttitude
      • 7 Years
      10 months, 22 days ago

      There's still time.

  16. Yozzer
    • 8 Years
    10 months, 22 days ago

    If palace don't win this being my second game with Glasner AM I'll actually feel screwed over and I think I have that right lol

  17. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years
    10 months, 22 days ago

    Red should've let that off Elanga was in

  18. Differentiator
    • 10 Years
    10 months, 22 days ago

    where are united in the PL?

    1. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 months, 22 days ago

      When you take out results against the bottom 3 teams, they are bottom of the 17 team table

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 months, 22 days ago

        Why would you take them out? That’s Arteta logic right there

        1. Jimmers
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          10 months, 22 days ago

          To highlight what a shite team they are...........

  19. The-Red-1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    10 months, 22 days ago

    Didn't play Munoz. Bloody stupid really

    1. Thicksolidtight
      • 3 Years
      10 months, 22 days ago

      Who did you play instead? I hope you can learn from this oversight, hone your craft and come out a better fantasy football manager.

      1. The-Red-1
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        10 months, 22 days ago

        Sessegnon, Milenkovic and Gvardiol

  20. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    10 months, 22 days ago

    Double Forest defence on FH

    I give up

    1. BeaversWithAttitude
      • 7 Years
      10 months, 22 days ago

      I feel you pain, mate!

  21. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years
    10 months, 22 days ago

    where are united in the PL?

    1. x.jim.x
      • 11 Years
      10 months, 22 days ago

      Above Spurs

  22. Differentiator
    • 10 Years
    10 months, 22 days ago

    Kinky 5 saves already

  23. keefy59
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    10 months, 22 days ago

    Spurs & Man Utd
    25 points off a CL place
    Yet only need 1 win to qualify

  24. Cruyff's Eleven
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    10 months, 22 days ago

    On track to being my worst GW of the season, by some margin...

    With a template squad. It really is scraping the bottom of the barrel innit.

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 22 days ago

      used my FH

      Normal team would have done better

      1. Thicksolidtight
        • 3 Years
        10 months, 22 days ago

        Ouch/whoops

    2. Gubby-Allen
      • 4 Years
      10 months, 22 days ago

      Did you free hit in the redced GW? 34 I think. A few people had a good team for 33 but then not for 35 and 36.

    3. Cruyff's Eleven
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      10 months, 22 days ago

      Not even rank wise. Just points. Struggling to get 40.

  25. BeaversWithAttitude
    • 7 Years
    10 months, 22 days ago

    C'mon, Eze! Help a sister out! Lol.

    1. Kaneyonero
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 22 days ago

      There you go

    2. BeaversWithAttitude
      • 7 Years

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 months, 22 days ago

        1. Hughes Your Daddy
          • 13 Years
          10 months, 22 days ago

          Unlucky 🙂

    3. Gubby-Allen
      • 4 Years
      10 months, 22 days ago

      Another VAR check

    4. Hughes Your Daddy
      • 13 Years
      10 months, 22 days ago

      Goal stands

      1. Gubby-Allen
        • 4 Years
        10 months, 22 days ago

        Does it?

        1. Hughes Your Daddy
          • 13 Years
          10 months, 22 days ago

          Yes

      10 months, 22 days ago

    6. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      10 months, 22 days ago

    Mateta AA

  28. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    10 months, 22 days ago

  29. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years
    10 months, 22 days ago

    Munoz would've been out of sight if it wasn't for VAR lol

  30. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    10 months, 22 days ago

    Get a legal goal now please, Sarr…

    1. Hughes Your Daddy
      • 13 Years
      10 months, 22 days ago

      Sarr's goal was "legal" - the VAR decision against the goal was illegal, wait until you see it 🙂
