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.

      1. diesel001
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Only a £10 on West Ham win. Not making me rich, but better than nothing

        1. Here's Tom with the We…
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Fair play. What odds were they?

        2. diesel001
          7 years, 1 month ago

          3.0 (Betfair)

    2. Poseidon.
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Upped their performance? Didn’t think West Ham performed as well as they should have either

    3. Carlton_Goal
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Partially called it. I wouldn't say West Ham upped their performance 😉

        Tammy gave him some problems in the Super Cup. He's quite tricky to deal with.

    1. MTPockets
      7 years, 1 month ago

      First needs to understand that when you're 1-0 up with 5 minutes to go you get an extra def on and waste some time. Strange

  10. Corgz Dark side of the Loon

    Villa fans why has Douglas Luiz of Villa been dropped out of the squad ???

  11. TheDragon
    7 years, 1 month ago

    So fellas 6 weeks in - how many total points have you benched? I have a feeling I’m winning (ie losing).

    I’ll start: 59 points benched in 6 weeks 🙁

    1. Amey
      7 years, 1 month ago

      37

    2. Manani
      7 years, 1 month ago

      isn't that pretty low?

      that's like 10pts. per week, and there's 3 players. so it's just 3pts. per player

    3. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      7 years, 1 month ago

      19 points total

      1. TheDragon

    1. FOO FIGHTER

      Of course. If you still have Martial and Rash, keep them too.

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        7 years, 1 month ago

        so in a less cheeky way, no

      2. One for All

    D Luiz and Digne > otamendi and yarma for free?

    1. Hog Roast Junkie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Sounds good

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

    anyone who expected Man U to actually do well this season or push top 4 dont know anything about football. Just look at their team, pathetic
    Proudly can say the only Man U asset I owned was Martial for 2 weeks and even that was bad move knowing that he is an abject failure season in season out.
    No one should have a single Man U player

    1. Nightcrawler
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Nonsense. Young squad with so much potential you'll be regretting that

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

        rofl, west ham, everton, leicester all have far better squads. Man U will be lucky to get a top 10 finish 100%

        1. Nightcrawler
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Lol. Easy top 4 for us. Squad may ack depth but has far more mental strength than both Chelsea and arsenal. Showing your ABU bitterness there

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

            sorry maybe im harsh but there is no chance you get top 4. What does ABU mean? I support Spurs so fairly impartial

            1. Here's Tom with the We…
              7 years, 1 month ago

              Top 4 no. But not in top ten? Come on that’s going too far!

    2. TheDragon
      7 years, 1 month ago

      That’s a mighty fine fishing rod you have there

      1. Here's Tom with the We…
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Don’t assume that when someone talks nonsense, that they’re only doing it to wind people up

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

          lol nonsense, good one. Lets ignore the facts then. At the end of the season see where you stand. I really dont need to state the obvious tbh.
          GL Man U

          1. Here's Tom with the We…
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Not making top ten is talking nonsense, imo. I probably don’t disagree with a lot else you’ve said. But 100% outside top ten??

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

              no i said they would be 100% lucky to get top 10 i didnt say 100% they wont.
              Realistically i see them finishing around 6-10, if they get hit by injuries bad then I really worry for them.

              1. Here's Tom with the We…
                7 years, 1 month ago

                Okay 100% lucky then. I think they’re somewhere between 5-8th place. Depending on how fit they can keep Pogba and Martial.

  16. Brosstan

    If Salah and Trent get injured in warmup I get Lundy's points. Can someone whos at the game go and step on their toes please?

    2. Random Name

      7 years, 1 month ago

      He's on TV in the UK quite a lot. Especially when there is a racism storm. Partly because of this:

          1. Eleven Hag
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Rashford is going to be injured like last season - and we will finish outside top 6

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

            United appoint Paul Scholes

    3. La Roja

      Squad depth is shocking, can’t see ole staying until Xmas

      1. Eleven Hag
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Out starting 11 itself is shocking

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

    even when Martial regains his fitness I would avoid, he will troll you. Count on it

    1. Yank Revolution
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Enough already. It's clear by now that you don't like Man U.

  22. WVA

    Never get jammy bench points, think I'm the only person who got 11 out?
