In the final match of Gameweek 9, Manchester United host Liverpool in a mouth-watering clash at Old Trafford.

Kick-off is at 16:30 BST.

Manchester United make three changes from Gameweek 8, with Marcus Rashford (£9.4m), Fred (£4.9m) and Scott McTominay (£5.4m) replacing Nemanja Matic (£4.5m), Paul Pogba (£7.6m) and Jadon Sancho (£9.0m).

Bruno Fernandes (£11.8m) also starts despite heading into the game as a doubt.

For Liverpool, Sadio Mane (£11.9m) drops to the bench with Joel Matip (£5.0m).

As a result, Diogo Jota (£7.5m) starts in attack alongside Mohamed Salah (£12.8m) and Roberto Firmino (£8.9m), while Ibrahima Konate (£5.1m) partners Virgil van Dijk (£6.6m) in defence.

Curtis Jones (£5.0m) is a substitute having missed the last two games with a groin injury, but Fabinho (£5.4m) and Thiago (£5.3m) miss out completely.

GAMEWEEK 9 LINE-UPS

Man Utd XI: de Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw, Fred, McTominay, Greenwood, Fernandes, Rashford, Ronaldo

Subs: Henderson, Bailly, Dalot, Lingard, Matic, Pogba, van de Beek, Cavani, Sancho

      I mean, conceding 5 doesn't look great on him either, regardless of one or two good saves.

    If your first sub doesnt play, does he still get subbed in if someone in your starting 11 didn't play? Or will it go to second sub?

    Got Dennis as second sub on bench, if hes subbed in I'm looking at my first 120+ score outside of a double gw

        Player subbed out is a defender, first sub is a defender, but I played 4 at the back so should still be valid formation if Dennis is subbed in right?

      Yes. Like week 1, where I didn’t have Bruno and captained mane instead of salah. It meant everyone has 40/50 points head start on me. This week I’ll get 90 with bps if Liverpool keep the clean sheet. And still lose ground.
