Manchester United v Bournemouth rounds off Gameweek 16 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL).

The Cherries have won 3-0 in each of their last two visits to Old Trafford, with Andoni Iraola unbeaten in four fixtures against United across all venues.

Antoine Semenyo, in the Bournemouth XI tonight as expected, scored both home and away against the Red Devils last season.

Kick-off in this latest meeting between the two clubs is at 20:00 GMT.

TEAM NEWS

The big team news is that Bryan Mbeumo and Amad Diallo are available to play, and start, for United this evening.

They head off to the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) with Cameroon and the Ivory Coast, respectively, after tonight’s game. There had been a little bit of doubt that they’d feature against the Cherries in the lead-up to Gameweek 16.

Noussair Mazraoui is, however, unavailable. His Morocco side contests the AFCON opener on December 21, so his departure has been hastened.

Leny Yoro starts in his place but that’s it for changes from the side that won 4-1 at Wolverhampton Wanderers last Monday.

Benjamin Sesko has overcome a knee injury and a bout of food poisoning to make the matchday squad for the first time in over a month. He’s among the substitutes.

As for the visitors, Marcos Senesi is fit to start after a minor injury scare.

Bournemouth’s one and only alteration from Gameweek 16 comes in midfield: Tyler Adams, back from suspension, is in for the benched Alex Scott.

LINE-UPS

Manchester United XI: Lammens, Yoro, Heaven, Shaw, Amad Diallo, Casemiro, Fernandes, Dalot, Mbeumo, Cunha, Mount.

Subs: Bayindir, Martinez, Zirkzee, Malacia, Dorgu, Ugarte, Mainoo, Sesko, Fredricson.

Bournemouth XI: Petrovic, Smith, Diakite, Senesi, Truffert, Adams, Jimenez, Tavernier, Kluivert, Semenyo, Evanilson.

Subs: Dennis, Araujo, Soler, Brooks, Scott, Adli, Kroupi, Hill, Unal.

        Hate to break it to you. Your team has been worse with him in your team.

        1. OneTeamInBristol
          • 2 Years
          6 months, 19 days ago

          Hardly. We were midtable when he left, and we are still midtable.

          1. NoOneCares
              6 months, 19 days ago

              Do you understand English. Does Semenyo play for Bristol. I am talking about your FPL team, OBVIOUSLY.

      • Ady87
        • 12 Years
        6 months, 19 days ago

        Semenyo won’t play United every week.

        1. Utopsis
          • 6 Years
          6 months, 19 days ago

          He'll play Burnley next week though

      • NoOneCares
          6 months, 19 days ago

          No one serious has Semenyo, especially after 5 free transfers. Relax.

          1. OneTeamInBristol
            • 2 Years
            6 months, 19 days ago

            Held him for the next two and taken me to 5k.

            1. NoOneCares
                6 months, 19 days ago

                Hate to break it to you but you have lost ground keeping him LOL

            I had Semenyo for the last 4 GW's and took him out this week on a FH

          6. Amartey Partey
            • 6 Years
            6 months, 19 days ago

            How is that not a red? He went for his throat.

            1. Utopsis
              • 6 Years
              6 months, 19 days ago

              Calmer heads prevailed

              Not violent enough

                • 6 Years
                6 months, 19 days ago

                I remember Casemiro being sent off for less.

                1. Zalk
                  • 14 Years
                  6 months, 19 days ago

            4. F4L
              • 11 Years
              6 months, 19 days ago

              maybe justification came into play as that was poor from dalot, dangerous thing to do. can understand semenyos anger

          7. Mom, Butters just gave me a…

            • 5 Years
            6 months, 19 days ago

            Should be red for Semenyo, deliberate hand on the throat, it shouldn't matter for how long

          9. Ady87
            • 12 Years
            6 months, 19 days ago

            3, 4, 1, 0, 0, 2, 3, 4 before today. If you held through that mess you deserve the goal.

                6 months, 19 days ago

                Thing is, is he worth getting for Burnley and Brentford?

                1. Ady87
                  • 12 Years
                  6 months, 19 days ago

                  Yeah potential Mbeumo replacement for many.

                    6 months, 19 days ago

                    I’m torn between him and downgrading Mbeumo to get Ekitike
