Newcastle United entertain Manchester United at St James’ Park in the final Premier League match of the day.

Kick-off is at 16:30 BST.

The big Fantasy Premier League (FPL) news is that Marcus Rashford is passed fit to start, as Erik ten Hag makes three changes from his side’s last outing in the FA Cup.

In come Raphael Varane, Diogo Dalot and Antony, with Harry Maguire, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Jadon Sancho making way. Anthony Martial, meanwhile, is named among the substitutes after overcoming a hip problem.

As for Newcastle, they are unchanged from the side that beat Nottingham Forest 2-1 in Gameweek 28.

That means Nick Pope and Sven Botman both start despite missing international duty with knocks, while Antony Gordon and Callum Wilson make the bench.

GAMEWEEK 29 LINE-UPS

Newcastle United XI: Pope, Trippier, Schar, Botman, Burn, Guimaraes, Longstaff, Willock, Murphy, Saint-Maximin, Isak

Subs: Dubravka, Lascelles, Joelinton, Gordon, Wilson, Ritchie, Targett, Manquillo, Anderson

Manchester United XI: de Gea, Dalot, Varane, Martinez, Shaw, McTominay, Sabitzer, Antony, Fernandes, Rashford, Weghorst

    Trippier the captain everyone never considered. Expecting a mega haul from him. If you went Brighton mid though, still a lot of optimism.

      did you do it?

      Happy enough with Pope, Trippier and Mitoma captain and Mac Allister this week.

      Have Rash, Bruno and Shaw but no Rashford points is a blessing this week.

      Could all change in every way mid week.

        Went MacAllister. Hopefully there is lots of goals from Brighton mid on Tuesday night.

    So I booted out Mings and Botman on my Free Hit utterly convinced they would concede, and replaced them with the superior attacking potential of Chilwell and Shaw.
    Another game to go yet, but it's pretty annoying.

      I'd suggest not being "utterly convinced" about future events. Unless you think you're psychic.

    United still to go to Brighton, Spurs and even West Ham and Bournemouth with that horrific away record.

    Top 4 for them might not be secure after all if Spurs get their act together.

      it's tricky having to rotate both Man Utd and Liverpool when they're on the road.
