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.

GAMEWEEK 9 LINE-UPS

Man Utd XI: de Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw, Fred, McTominay, Greenwood, Fernandes, Rashford, Ronaldo

Subs: Henderson, Bailly, Dalot, Lingard, Matic, Pogba, van de Beek, Cavani, Sancho

      What’s the project? What’s the goal? What’s the style of play? A reason people are not willing to give him the benefit of the doubt is that we can’t see what he’s trying to do.

        Every club has a so-called 'project' and is always in the middle of it.

        It is called trying to improve and win games. And some fail.

      Imagine how it would have been on here if Lukaku didn’t get injured but did a Kai yesterday and got 2 points. Think captaincy would have been more split.

      Ronaldo another example of a player who has come in from an easier league and isn't hitting the same heights as before.

      Liverpool got it. They realised the value of PL experience and purchased accordingly or brought through youth that have been in the PL system. Look at the majority of the players who played today that had PL experience:

      TAA (youth), Robertson (ex-Hull), VVD (ex-Southampton), Henderson (ex-Sunderland), Jota (ex-Wolves), Salah (ex-Chelsea), Milner (ex-Man City, Leeds, Newcastle, Villa), Jones (youth), Mane (ex-Southampton) and Ox (ex-Arsenal).

        The difference is that Tottenham have Kane and Son who are two are the best attacking players in the world, their numbers will improve. Last season Tottenham scored 62 goals 5th highest in the league 7 less than Liverpool at 69.
