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.

    If OGS wasn't a club legend, the OleOut uproar would shake the foundations of the Earth.

      So true

    2. Rolls-Royce

      He looks absolutely clueless on the touchline tbh

  4. Rolls-Royce

    Lingard won't even get into Championship team

    1. KDB4PREZ
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Is he even on the pitch?

    2. Brosstan
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Awful player. Just cruising by for years and years because hes from the academy.

  5. Cok3y5murf

    United probably still have the lowest xGc in the league. AWB owners should 100% hold

    1. FOO FIGHTER

      Ha ha

    How sad is my week that I'm hoping for a Kelly 1 pointer.

  7. Royal5

          7 years, 1 month ago

          Greenwood/Kelly @ my end

  8. Bartowski
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Say what you want about Solskjaer but he has used his experience to bring a hint of mold to this Manchester United team.

    1. THE Wild Rover
      7 years, 1 month ago

      *mould

      1. Bartowski
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Crikey obviously the reason I chose the alternative spelling is because of how close it is to the club that he managed.

        I'm wasted here, I really am.

    Pope.
    Robertson, Coleman, VVD.
    Sterling, Cantwell, KDB, Ceballos, Salah.
    Pukki, King.
    Button, Lundstram, A Smith, Wickham.
    1FT, 1.9m ITB.

    1. Coleman -> Otamendi.
    2. King-> Abraham. (-4).
    3. Both for a (-4). My fav at the moment.
    4. Other move(s).

    Prime Jose couldn’t even save this sorry lot.

  11. Gudjohnsen
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Ole looks clueless

  12. Tsparkes10
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Come on Dani Ceballos lad.

  13. sentz05
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Can anyone explain why I have been automatically joined to a classic league called League 1361542? Really odd!

    1. have you seen cyan
      7 years, 1 month ago

      probably an old league u were in previous seasons and someone just renewed it?

    2. sentz05
      7 years, 1 month ago

      It's got 20 people in it whom I know none of them, there's a grey circle next to the league and it started in GW2.

  14. Marvin.
    7 years, 1 month ago

    If Haller can't score at home against an easy opponent is he really worth it?

    1. Wirtzle Gummidge
      7 years, 1 month ago

      May bring him out for Auba

      1. Marvin.
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Jesus you must have a few quid in the bank.

        1. Wirtzle Gummidge
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Digne to Otamendi and Sterling to Son helped. Had 1.6 prior to that

    2. SirStevieG
      7 years, 1 month ago

      He's had zero shots. Zero.

      1. Dr. Agabuse
        7 years, 1 month ago

        He tried a shot once

    3. BigBillyBass
      7 years, 1 month ago

      He’s garbage mate. Waste of 7.5mil

    4. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Wilson, Pukki, Tammy all jumped considerably ahead of him after this

    5. Cok3y5murf
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Always thought he was overpriced

  15. diesel001
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Hope Liverpool are ready for a Chelsea fast start. Classic Lampard to try to disrupt them by starting really high tempo and try to catch them out.

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Liverpool like opposition leaving themselves wide open with Mane Salah and Firmino.

      Che can bring it.

  16. some witty pun
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Bye Haller, useless player, blanks even against United

  17. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    7 years, 1 month ago

    What more does Cresswell have to do to get an England call up

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Stay off the treatment table first

    2. Gnu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Maybe try and play more than 10-15 games a season, maybe. 🙂

    3. Amey
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Stay fit

    4. Pinturicchio10
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Stay fit and play well consistently.

  18. Pedram
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Abraham could make or break my season in this match, took a -8 to bring him in.

    1. have you seen cyan
      7 years, 1 month ago

      😮 why did u do that lol

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      7 years, 1 month ago

      So he basically has to score a brace for it to pay it off..?

      At least it should in the long-run.

      1. have you seen cyan
        7 years, 1 month ago

        well depends who he took out also, if he took out wilson then factor in wilsons points as well and its a guarenteed loss.

        1. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          7 years, 1 month ago

          I agree, although why phrase it like that.

        2. Pedram
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Greenwood

    3. some witty pun
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Not necessarily in this match mate. Keep in mind Chelsea have good fixtures in the next 6 or so

  19. Rainer
    7 years, 1 month ago

    AWB with the ball 😆

    Comical that 50m was payed for him.

  20. BigBillyBass
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Utd are repugnant. They actually make feel nauseous

    1. Poseidon.
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Away stand was close to empty with 10 minutes left

  21. Tsparkes10
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Chris wilder is everything Ole wished he was 😉

  22. ZeBestee
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Hope Kelly doesn't come on!

    1. Bobby Digital
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Hopefully not

  23. Dannyb
    7 years, 1 month ago

    I'm seriously struggling watching this United team every week. Won't even get top 6.

    1. have you seen cyan
      7 years, 1 month ago

      people actually watch man u games? Its like watching palace or something (no offence Palace fans)

    2. some witty pun
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Spurs Chelsea and Arsenal arent any better

    3. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I said both the them & Chelsea would struggle to make top 10 in pre season - still reckon it won’t be far away

      About two thirds of the teams in the league have stronger managers than them now - that can’t fail to tell over the course of a season

  24. Brosstan
    7 years, 1 month ago

    AWB is so good at defending but the attacks really lose all fluidity when he has the ball on the wing. Cant cross for the life of him. Still young though so hoping he works on that part of his game.

  25. g40steve
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Let’s see how Tomori plays today, 4.5 nailed in Chelsea defender??

    1. Rainer
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Rudiger 🙁

    2. Dr. Agabuse
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I think hes nailed.
      I think hes ahead of Christensen. Seemed like Zouma was ahead of Christensen when he played with Tomori.
      Tomori Rudiger will create cs too

      1. g40steve
        7 years, 1 month ago

        If he has a good game coming into my team pronto.

  26. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    7 years, 1 month ago

    I’ve benched 2 out of Diops 3 CS. Think I should just set and forget and stop rotating.

    (Cue united goal btw)

  27. Pep Roulette
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Hold 1

    A. Barnes
    B. Haller

    1. SirStevieG
      7 years, 1 month ago

      -4

    2. Amey
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Barnes
      Just because he's cheaper though 🙂

  28. FDMS All Starz
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Might play WC to just sell dendonker, don’t want to lose that 0.1

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      7 years, 1 month ago

      A WC is worth more than a -4.

    2. OPTA FPL
      7 years, 1 month ago

      do it

  29. pablo discobar
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Is Sterling and Haller to Aguero and Mount (or maddison) madness?

    Josè is looking for work.
