Sunday’s fourth and final Premier League match sees Newcastle United take on Manchester United at St James’ Park.

This game, for many Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers, is perhaps the most eagerly anticipated fixture of the weekend, with the Magpies one of just two teams playing twice in Double Gameweek 32.

412,981 Fantasy bosses have thrown the Triple Captain armband on Alexander Isak, too.

Kick-off is at 16:30 BST.

With Eddie Howe absent, having been admitted to hospital late on Friday, assistant managers Jason Tindall and Graeme Jones will take charge of this match for Newcastle.

The Magpies are unchanged, but Anthony Gordon is fit enough to return to the bench after recovering from a hip issue.

Meanwhile, Man Utd goalkeeper Andre Onana has been dropped, having made two errors on Thursday as Ruben Amorim’s side were held to a 2-2 draw by Lyon.

He is replaced by Altay Bayindir.

Elsewhere, Harry Maguire, Casemiro, Patrick Dorgu and Rasmus Hojlund drop to the bench, with Victor Lindelof, Christian Eriksen, Harry Amass and Joshua Zirkzee coming into the starting XI.

LINE-UPS

Newcastle United XI: Pope, Trippier, Schar, Burn, Livramento, Tonali, Guimaraes, Joelinton, Murphy, Barnes, Isak

Subs: Dubravka, Targett, Krafth, Miley, Longstaff, Gordon, Neave, Osula, Wilson

Manchester United XI: Bayindir, Mazraoui, Lindelof, Yoro, Dalot, Ugarte, Eriksen, Amass, Fernandes, Garnacho, Zirkzee

Subs: Heaton, Heaven, Maguire, Shaw, Casemiro, Dorgu, Mainoo, Mount, Hojlund

    1. Jafooli
      • 13 Years

    Where on earth was this Isak last week when I captained him and everyone else went Salah?

    1. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      8 months, 17 days ago

      They didn't though. Isak had 130% EO.

    Palmer replacement?:

    1. Supersonic_
      • 4 Years
      8 months, 17 days ago

      Both come with risk, think Saka is the safer pick out of the two

      We deserve it as well, esp since people went with the lower xGI Livramento and were somehow rewarded last week

  18. FC Hakkebøf

    8 months, 17 days ago

    What to do for dgw33?

    A) Isak + Palmer to Watkins + Saka
    B) Palmer + Burn to City Defender + Saka

    If I do B I might consider benching Isak for one of Rogers or Sarr.
