Manchester United v Leeds United brings Gameweek 32 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) to a close this evening.

Kick-off at Old Trafford is at 20:00 BST.

TEAM NEWS

Michael Carrick makes four changes to the Red Devils’ side he sent out in Gameweek 31, two of which are enforced.

Harry Maguire is suspended, while Kobbie Mainoo picked up an injury in training over the weekend and misses out.

The benching of Diogo Dalot may also be fitness-related, as he was ill in the last week.

United’s other change is the most headline-grabbing one, as Bryan Mbeumo is benched for the first time since Carrick took charge.

Lisandro Martinez is back from injury for his first appearance in over two months, while Noussair Mazraoui, Manuel Ugarte and Benjamin Sesko also come in.

There are also four changes to the Leeds side from their FA Cup tie against West Ham United last Sunday.

Karl Darlow, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Gabriel Gudmundsson and Brenden Aaronson all return.

Lucas Perri and Lukas Nmecha drop to the bench, while Joe Rodon and Anton Stach are now on the injury list.

Gabriel Gudmundsson, Jaka Bijol and Noah Okafor all shrug off minor issues to feature.

LINE-UPS

Manchester United XI: Lammens, Mazraoui, Yoro, Martínez, Shaw, Casemiro, Ugarte, Diallo, Fernandes, Cunha, Šeško.

Subs: Bayindir, Dalot, Mount, Zirkzee, Malacia, Mbeumo, Heaven, Fletcher, Lacey.

Leeds United XI: Darlow, Justin, Bijol, Struijk, Bogle, Tanaka, Ampadu, Aaronson, Gudmundsson, Calvert-Lewin, Okafor.

Subs: Perri, Longstaff, Piroe, Nmecha, Bornauw, Byram, Gnonto, Buonanotte, Gruev.

      He's doing OK at Man United. When at Boro he was poor at changing his team/tactics when things were not going so well.

    I was worried about Mbeumo not starting come gw34. Less so now. However, not sure what to do now.

      Same here! Tavernier/Aaronson options. Maybe even the American, he’s been good all season and a real threat every game.

          If they do go down, which is looking more and more likely by the day now, their squad at the end of next season would look very different to what it is now.

      They have to have buyers though, who will need to meet Spurs valuations if they have relegation clauses.

      To say it would be an almighty mess would be a gross understatement,
