The final match of Gameweek 20 sees Manchester United play host to Burnley at Old Trafford.

Kick-off is at 20:15 GMT.

For the home side, Ralf Rangnick makes six changes from Gameweek 19, with Eric Bailly, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Luke Shaw coming in for Raphael Varane, Diogo Dalot and Alex Telles at the back, all of whom drop to the bench.

In midfield, Nemanja Matic replaces Fred, while further forward, Jadon Sancho and Edinson Cavani start in place of the suspended Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford.

Victor Lindelof again misses out after a positive Covid test, while Paul Pogba remains sidelined.

Under Rangnick, United are unbeaten in four matches in all competitions, but have scored only one goal in each game.

Meanwhile, at Burnley, they make two changes from their last match – a 0-0 draw at home to West Ham United all the way back in Gameweek 16.

In goal, Wayne Hennessey replaces Nick Pope, while Aaron Lennon also comes in for Jay Rodriguez.

That means Maxwel Cornet misses out again having failed to re-join team training, while Ashley Barnes, Connor Roberts and Josh Brownhill are also absent.


GAMEWEEK 20 LINE-UPS

Manchester United XI: de Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Bailly, Maguire, Shaw, Matic, McTominay, Greenwood, Sancho, Ronaldo, Cavani

Subs: Henderson, Telles, Dalot, Varane, Fred, Lingard, van de Beek, Elanga, Rashford

Burnley XI: Hennessey, Lowton, Tarkowski, Mee, Taylor, Gudmundsson, Cork, Westwood, McNeil, Lennon, Wood

        And a red

  14. fricky_
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    This Man U defence is so bad, Jimenez is coming in

  15. CrouchDown
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Ronaldo effective ownership?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      ~25%

  16. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    No point in Burnley sitting back.

    Should open it up both ways. For all concerned

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      They are. They know they can trouble United.

    2. Diamondgeezer
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      They would be better to keep it tight for now, coming back from 1-0 is very possible, 2-0 is a lot harder.

  17. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Burnley look horrible defensively

    1. Diamondgeezer
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      United were terrible first game back after a long break, could be Burnley will be too, a bit like first game after preseason if they didn't get enough friendlies in.

  18. Boomerang V
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    To survive in the Cup I need [(CR7) - (Tark) >= 20]

  19. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    The Burnley press 😮

  20. Freshy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years

    Why no Pope

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Rona

      1. Differentiator
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Pepe Reina?

  21. fricky_
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Jimenez (C) locked in GW21 then?

  22. Egg noodle
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Ronny making me h0rny

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Ronnie Wood?

  23. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    That’s enough now Ronaldo

  24. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years

    When will DDGs CS get wiped this GW?

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      89th minute

    2. Diamondgeezer
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Hopefully on the rebound to the penalty he saves.

  25. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Oh Shaw...

  26. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Shaw back on the menu

  27. Dannyb
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Is the game plan get the ball to Sancho and lose it?

  28. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Ronaldo is on 4 YCs. Didn't even process that. Could do with him getting booked.

    1. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Everyone would move to Kane and end up with more points.

      1. The 12th Man
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Or FH

    2. @FPL__Engineer
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Not yet. United haven't played 19 games yet.

        1. @FPL__Engineer
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Ahh course!

      2. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        This is Uniteds 18th game.

        Extends after 19 played.

  29. Ephurion
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Luke Maradonshaw essential!

  30. Ray85
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    James for Cash, Coady or Shaw?
