James fit to start as Greenwood and Lanzini miss out

There are two Premier League matches kicking off at 14:00 BST today, with West Ham United facing Manchester United and Crystal Palace hosting Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The Red Devils are unchanged from the team that beat Leicester City, meaning that Daniel James has recovered from the knock that forced him to miss Thursday’s win over Astana.

There is no place for Mason Greenwood in the matchday squad, however, with the teenage striker ruled out with tonsillitis.

Paul Pogba and Anthony Martial miss out as expected, with Solskjaer providing an update on Pogba ahead of kick-off:

Hopefully, we can get him back next week. He started training yesterday. Probably get some minutes against Rochdale, but definitely we think he’s ready for Arsenal.

Manuel Lanzini hasn’t recovered from the injury that Manuel Pellegrini disclosed in Friday’s press conference, so Pablo Fornals takes his place in central midfield.

Aaron Cresswell is in for the suspended Arthur Masuaku at left-back.

Roy Hodgson makes just one change to the Palace team that lost 4-0 at Tottenham Hotspur.

Andros Townsend drops to the bench as the fit-again James McArthur comes into the starting line-up.

Budget FPL defender Martin Kelly is among the substitutes.

Nuno Espirito Santo continues to ring the changes as Wolves juggle participation in the UEFA Europa League and Premier League.

There are four alterations to the side that started against Sporting Braga on Thursday, with Ruben Neves, Patrick Cutrone and Morgan Gibbs-White all benched.

Ryan Bennett doesn’t make the squad, meanwhile, for the second Premier League game in a row.

Diogo Jota, Joao Moutinho, Adama Traore and Romain Saiss are all promoted to the starting line-up.

The teamsheets show Traore as lining up in a front three with Jota and Raul Jimenez, with Matt Doherty in his usual right wing-back role.

West Ham United XI: Fabianski, Fredericks, Diop, Ogbonna, Cresswell, Rice, Noble, Fornals, Yarmolenko, Anderson, Haller.

Manchester United XI: De Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Young, Matic, Pereira, McTominay, James, Mata, Rashford.

Crystal Palace XI: Guaita, Ward, Cahill, Sakho, Van Aanholt, McArthur, Milivojevic, Kouyate, Zaha, Ayew, Schlupp.

Wolves XI: Patrício, Boly, Coady, Saïss, Doherty, Dendoncker, Moutinho, Jonny, Traoré, Jiménez, Jota.

    I started Lundstram. No bench jam here.

      So did my mrs. And she has vc on KDB after captaining Sterling. Thats jammy.

    Rashford owners sooo lucky. Of at 59 min and gets 2 points! I am calling FPL.

      60:14 on clock when they made Lingard sub

    2. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      59 minutes 10 seconds is the 60th minute I’m afraid

  6. Fpl Richie

    Maybe Diop on wildcard at this rate...
    Rotation with Soyuncu looks good

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      That’s what I’m thinking. Screw Otamendi and a defence of TAA Söyüncü Diop Lundstram Rico opens up a lot of options going forward

    Wolves need to give up on the EL and EFL Cup. Not worth having rubbish league form for that crap.

    1. Free Hat
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Indeed.

    2. VanDijksToWatchOutFor

      Concentrate on Europa league. Drop the other cups. Get knocked out in time to save premiership status

  10. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Yes, Mount starts. Eleven players out. Now do nothing so my triple Liverpool d wins

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

    Its a shame to see a team like Wolves down the table after last season.
    Europa isnt worth that.

    i said west ham would get a cleanie vs man u and eveyrone and their dog said no. Was so obvious, Man U cant score goals unless they get a pen and even that is debatable

    Livefpl says Abrahams EO is 50% yet he is owned by 26% of managers. Is this possible? Wouldn't it mean that almost all managers captained him? There must be something wrong with how I understand EO I guess...

    1. Ragabolly
      • 14 Years

      Hi, It's top10k EO. He is owned by more than 50% of top10k.
