The Manchester derby is the first Premier League match of the day and kicks off at Old Trafford at 12:30pm GMT.

United and City are two of the four clubs who ‘double’ in Gameweek 20 and have been well-backed by Fantasy Premier League managers as a result: three of the top four most-bought players ahead of Friday’s deadline came from the these two teams.

The names in question were Luke Shaw, Marcus Rashford and Kevin De Bruyne, and all of them start this afternoon.

As for the rest of the team news, Anthony Martial is fit enough to start for the hosts at Old Trafford.

Shaw stays at centre-half, with Tyrell Malacia at left-back, while Fred comes in to bolster the midfield at the expense of the benched Antony.

Three City players who have struggled for Premier League game-time since the World Cup, Kyle Walker, Joao Cancelo and Phil Foden, are the only three survivors from the side that lost to Southampton in the Carabao Cup in midweek.

Foden is back on the left flank at the expense of Jack Grealish, while Walker and Cancelo’s deployment at full-back means that there is no place for Rico Lewis.

Aymeric Laporte is also among the substitutes.

    City players straight over to the ref to complain about a legitimate goal being given ‘didn’t you get our brown envelope?’

  11. Jafooli
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 3 days ago

  12. Londongeezaa

    1. mojoindojo
      • 12 Years

    2. Berkshire Hafaway-Line
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 days ago

      Probably good I'd think

  17. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 3 days ago

    He’s interfering because the defender would have cut it out if Rashford wasn’t 5 yards off.

  18. Mirror Man
      3 years, 3 days ago

      EtH is a remarkable manager.

      1. Shark Team
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 3 days ago

        OGS was beating City with Mctominay and Maguire

      2. Mirror Man
          3 years, 3 days ago

        Asked here, bruno captain anyone? People like * wtf are you mad?*

        1. Mirror Man
            3 years, 3 days ago

            Grow a pair and stop asking questions then

          • Neevesy
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 3 days ago

            Ahh poor baby

        2. Royal5
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 3 days ago

          That should've been ruled off

          1. Tinydancer
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 3 days ago

            100% lmao, how is rashford not affecting play there

            1. Royal5
              • 14 Years
              3 years, 3 days ago

              Absurd imo. Blocking out the defender like it's NBA

              1. MissouriMarten
                • 10 Years
                3 years, 3 days ago

                Defender wasn't close enough to have been blocked by him.

          2. Neevesy
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 3 days ago

            Lol are you saying this because you have a City defender?

            I have no players involved, and that's a goal. Correct decision.

            1. Royal5
              • 14 Years
              3 years, 3 days ago

              Nope

              1. Royal5
                • 14 Years
                3 years, 3 days ago

                I think Rash is involved in the play

        3. Bartowski
          • 15 Years
          3 years, 3 days ago

          Is it not interfering in play? Ederson looked pretty put off by Rashford looking like he might shoot.

        4. diesel001
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 3 days ago

          LOL. 1-1 with these goalscorers and assisters is a terrible result for most FPL managers.

        5. dabber7
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 3 days ago

          Rashford deserves an assist for leaving that!

        6. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 3 days ago

          Lino did the right thing as did VAR.

          He didn't block Akanji at all!

        7. OPTA FPL
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 3 days ago

          That goal give kdb 2 bonus lol

          1. OPTA FPL
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 3 days ago

            Could sneak 3

          Clever from Rashford there. Some players would have touched that

        9. Deulofail
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 3 days ago

          Peter Walton: Should be a goal. It's onside. Quite right that the flag goes up.

        10. Saïss Doesn't Mat…
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 3 days ago

          Sold bruno for rashford so that I could afford kane. This was quite inevitable lol

        11. lilmessipran
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 3 days ago

          How is Rashford not interfering with play there? Ederson is clearly positioning himself looking at Rashford as he is standing next to the ball

        12. Tic Tacs
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 3 days ago

          Must be a few Bruno cappers around?
