There’s one more match to go in Gameweek 14 and it comes from Old Trafford.

West Ham United travel to Manchester United, where the kick-off is at 20:00 GMT.

TEAM NEWS

Bruno Fernandes has been deemed fit enough to make the Man Utd starting XI, despite picking up a knock in the match against Crystal Palace on Sunday.

Ayden Heaven, Noussair Mazraoui and Matheus Cunha are also in the starting line-up.

Matthijs de Ligt, presumably one of the fitness doubts Ruben Amorim mentioned in his pre-match presser, is not in the matchday squad.

Leny Yoro and Mason Mount drop to the bench.

Nuno Espirito Santo makes just one alteration for West Ham and it’s enforced.

Lucas Paqueta is suspended, so Tomas Soucek earns a recall.

LINE-UPS

Manchester United XI: Lammens, Mazraoui, Heaven, Shaw, Amad, Casemiro, Fernandes, Dalot, Mbeumo, Cunha, Zirkzee

Subs: Bayindir, Dorgu, Malacia, Martinez, Yoro, Mainoo, Mount, Ugarte, Lacey

West Ham United XI: Areola, Wan-Bissaka, Todibo, Mavropanos, Diouf, Potts, Magassa, Soucek, Bowen, Fernandes, Wilson

Subs: Hermansen, Walker-Peters, Kilman, Rodriguez, Irving, Earthy, Marshall, Kante, Mayers

    Held out on selling Semenyo for Foden so I could watch this game and see if Cuhna or Bruno could make a compelling case…
    I think I can already see it was a mistake. United are cr@p unless they are playing decent opposition!
    Foden it is, and 0.2 less ITB after I’ve made the move 🙂

            Yup. And Shaw as a center back. He can't header a ball to save his life.

            Cunha another one who is wasted.

        do think sometimes their 10s should drop deeper and into the pockets, you want them on the ball. think mount does this well when he starts, doesnt get caught up too high and sees alot of the ball

        If you don’t want to lose the 3FT you need to use them before the 11am deadline on Saturday morning.

        After the deadline you will be topped up to 5FT losing any unused transfers so you need to use them between now and pre-deadline.
