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

    Do we reckon KDB is a good option for BB33?

      Yea. I'm getting him on FH. Not sure about KDB long term though.

    3. Hanz0

      8 months, 17 days ago

      I do worry about his minutes, but would be an amazing pick if he does play both as City have Wolves and Southampton in GW35 and GW36. Would work great with FH

    1. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      8 months, 17 days ago

      With double Toon defence and a TC fail, I concur

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        8 months, 17 days ago

        Almost worth wiping it!

          Fpl become boringly predictable, I like Trigger Lips idea of banning using chips in DGWs

        2. _Ninja_
          • 15 Years
          8 months, 17 days ago

          Think only about 10% overall played TC in 24

  29. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 12 Years
    8 months, 17 days ago
