Mane, Matip and Pogba benched as Man Utd host Liverpool in Gameweek 9

In the final match of Gameweek 9, Manchester United host Liverpool in a mouth-watering clash at Old Trafford.

Kick-off is at 16:30 BST.

Manchester United make three changes from Gameweek 8, with Marcus Rashford (£9.4m), Fred (£4.9m) and Scott McTominay (£5.4m) replacing Nemanja Matic (£4.5m), Paul Pogba (£7.6m) and Jadon Sancho (£9.0m).

Bruno Fernandes (£11.8m) also starts despite heading into the game as a doubt.

For Liverpool, Sadio Mane (£11.9m) drops to the bench with Joel Matip (£5.0m).

As a result, Diogo Jota (£7.5m) starts in attack alongside Mohamed Salah (£12.8m) and Roberto Firmino (£8.9m), while Ibrahima Konate (£5.1m) partners Virgil van Dijk (£6.6m) in defence.

Curtis Jones (£5.0m) is a substitute having missed the last two games with a groin injury, but Fabinho (£5.4m) and Thiago (£5.3m) miss out completely.

    1. Toonmad
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Why would you bench jota

  23. Make United Great Again
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    OLE OUT.

    Salah + TAA is nice FPL wise though.

    1. Toonmad
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      It just makes you feel better the EO is negligible as everyone has them

      1. Make United Great Again
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        TAA is owned by 23%.

        1. Toonmad
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Depends on your rank if you are in top 10k it's negligible

  24. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Maybe the Utd defence is worse than Norwich's afterall

  25. evilfish
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago
