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

    AWB should have gotten a 2nd yellow.

    Ref lacked courage.

    FPL was robbed of a late Bruno goal against 10 men.

        He's like Foden, in that you won't know when that purple patch is over until it has been for a while. He's also my favourite player in the game, and first name in the first draft each year.
        That said, I don't think I'd double up on their defence now. If you own, he's a season keeper, but I wouldn't buy him.

        Do you think they looked good when Sesko and Cunha started? Mbeumo was poor tonight but scored more than both of them combined. Cunha wasn't great either. AFCON soon so need to sell Mbeumo regardless of form.
