Blank Gameweek 31 gets underway at the Vitality Stadium, where Bournemouth host Manchester United.

Andoni Iraola’s side are currently on a 10-match unbeaten run in the Premier League, but United have turned a corner under Michael Carrick, too. They have won seven, drawn one and lost only one of their nine games since his appointment.

Kick-off is at 20:00 GMT.

TEAM NEWS

Michael Carrick opts for an unchanged line-up.

It means Benjamin Sesko again has to settle for a place on the bench, despite finding the net against Aston Villa last weekend.

Bryan Mbeumo will continue playing through the middle, with Bruno Fernandes providing support as a No 10.

Despite Carrick suggesting that Noussair Mazraoui had a decent chance of featuring, he misses out, having been unable to train earlier in the week because of illness.

Andoni Iraola makes two changes to his Bournemouth side.

Alex Jimenez and Amine Adli both earn recalls, so Adam Smith and Eli Junior Kroupi drop to the bench.

LINE-UPS

Bournemouth XI: Petrovic, Jimenez, Hill, Senesi, Truffert, Christie, Scott, Rayan, Tavernier, Adli, Evanilson

Subs: Mandas, Brooks, Gannon-Doak, Smith, Diakite, Kroupi, Unal, Toth, Milosavljevic

Manchester United XI: Lammens, Dalot, Yoro, Maguire, Shaw, Casemiro, Mainoo, Amad, Fernandes, Cunha, Mbeumo

Subs: Bayindir, Fredricson, Heaven, Malacia, Mount, T Fletcher, Ugarte, Sesko, Zirkzee

    Petrovic blank, Mbuemo blank, Hill blank and OG. Bruno goal not captained. Love FPL.

    Oh no Hill OG shite. Unlucky me

  5. Atimis

    So if Maguire had nodded that in after the small flick it'd be a Bruno assist, so what difference does it make if the other defender headed it in?

      Not the intended target? Not sure.

  9. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    15 days, 14 hours ago

    Should be -1pt for Senesi for the OG assist?

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      15 days, 14 hours ago

    According to FPL rules it’s an assist and will be given in a few minutes. Keep calm guys!

    Albanian mobsters bought two Bruno PKs. I feel cheated.

  15. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    15 days, 14 hours ago

    Hill wants a goal at the other end!

  16. Goodfeathers

    Not watching. How come no assist for the OG? Did a Bournemouth player set him up!?

    1. Atimis
      • 9 Years
      15 days, 14 hours ago

      Senesi headed it to Hill

      1. Fifa las vegas
        • 13 Years
        15 days, 14 hours ago

        Doesn’t need to be a clean final “pass” to be an assist anymore though does it?

  17. Gandalf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Emotional rollercoaster for Maguire owners..

  18. Fifa las vegas

        • 7 Years
        15 days, 14 hours ago

        Leeds will defend/no open space, Mbeumo will blank (shouldn't even start)

  23. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Does Hill get the winning goal bonus points?

    1. fantasist
      • 15 Years
      15 days, 14 hours ago

      Its 2-2

    2. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      15 days, 14 hours ago

      Not sure but he got an extra defcon when he scored the own goal 😆

  24. JBG
    • 7 Years
    15 days, 14 hours ago

    Exactly why I don't want him to be first choice CB.. he has these moments in him

  25. Fifa las vegas
    • 13 Years
    15 days, 14 hours ago

    Could they let Hill take the penalty?

  26. Capocannonieri
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    15 days, 14 hours ago

    McGuire acting like he doesn't know why?

    Bruno complaining about a soft PK is awesome .

    1. JBG
      • 7 Years
      15 days, 14 hours ago

      Exactly, if anything Evanulson dives even more

    2. fantasist
      • 15 Years
      15 days, 14 hours ago

      Went over too easily maybe

    3. Fifa las vegas
      • 13 Years
      15 days, 14 hours ago

      Diallo one was almost worse even

  29. Hughes Your Daddy
    • 13 Years
    15 days, 14 hours ago

    Lovely, come on the cherries

  30. JBG
    • 7 Years

    Evanilson goes down even easier than Diallo..
