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.

      Ha Ha TBF Brighton are scoring at will and Mac very involved in and around the box. It’s not a surprise he’s among the points.

      Ditto...

      First time this season I have gone with my gut feelings & ignored the majority view.

      Awful GW29 for Haaland/Saka & the moment Rashford owners especially if captain (Later still a game to play so many not all down)

      Yeah, those kind of decisions can make you look forward to the next game week as opposed to not looking at it until next Thursday. I did the opposite and swapped it off Mitoma for Maddison but who knows what will happen on Tuesday.

        Yup. I'm on bench boost, have had lots of players return, this game went pretty well for me, and I'm only 3 points above my safety score. Everything so samesies right now.

    There may be a reaction from United in the week. Fred has to start and put Bruno in the 10 to create, he makes the whole thing tick.

      I read somewhere that Brentford's style of play suits them playing against the bigger teams (a 4-0 win against Manchester United for example). I suspect they'll get at least a draw at Old Trafford.

    Not looking forward to captaincy decision next week.

    When pep is vague re haaland and says we will see in training etc, does it still make sense to bring him in for toney?

    Guess safest bet is to transfer in but not captain? Thanks

      The Haaland issue is a big problem for next week, particularly for me as I’ll need to sell Kane.

      I was convinced he’d play this week so the fact he didn’t even make the bench was surprising.

    What a win! Long time since I’ve watched us give a drubbing like that to a top 6 team. Double CS to boot!

    Don’t worry though everyone, Rashford will get the points in midweek.
