Two Premier League matches kick off at 14:00 BST today – Brighton and Hove Albion v Leicester City and West Ham United v Manchester United.

At Brighton, Graham Potter makes just one change as Adam Webster (£4.5m) is sidelined with a hamstring injury and is replaced by Solly March (£5.4m).

Pascal Gross (£6.0m) is continuing to self-isolate due to Covid-19 regulations, but Enock Mwepu (£5.9m) does return to the bench along with Tariq Lamptey (£4.4m).

As for Brendan Rodgers’ Leicester City, Boubakary Soumare (£4.9m) makes his first Premier League start and comes in for Marc Albrighton (£5.4m), while Ricardo Pereira (£5.5m) replaces Timothy Castagne (£5.4m) at right-back.

Meanwhile, Michail Antonio (£7.9m) is suspended for West Ham United after being sent off against Southampton in Gameweek 4. As a result, either Jarrod Bowen (£6.3m) or Nikola Vlasic (£6.0m) will lead the line, with Said Benrahma (£6.4m) and Pablo Fornals (£6.0m) completing David Moyes’ front four.

For Manchester United, Scott McTominay (£5.4m) starts alongside Fred (£5.0m) in a double pivot following groin surgery. That means Paul Pogba (£7.8m) could move back into a more advanced role on the left of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s 4-2-3-1 formation.

Mason Greenwood (£7.7m) starts ahead of Jadon Sancho (£.9.1m) on the right, who drops to the bench along with Donny van de Beek (£5.8m) and Victor Lindelof (£4.9m), both of whom featured in Europe.

        Leicester board would have been rofl'ing when United would have bid that amount.

        Fofana is the real deal - such shame he's badly injured.

      They thought that Liverpool paid £75m for VVD from a mid table club and so decided to copy them.
      AWB was United's answer to TAA

    McFred in top form here.

    1. The Philosopher
      5 years, 1 month ago

      McFred sounds like some new meal McDonalds could come up with.

    Why is ddg kicking a ball he can literally get down on the gorund, roll about 5 times and still catch it

    1. Zilla
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah, vey weird decision making.

  12. Zimo
    5 years, 1 month ago

    United look shite yet again.

  13. _Ninja_

    Ronaldo shot on target

  14. Nomar
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Too early for Ronny cap fail post?

    1. _Ninja_
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Yes. can play poor and still score.

  15. Harry the Hack
    5 years, 1 month ago

    my god. Fred. how is he continuing to get games?

    1. diesel001
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Noone else to replace him in CM. He should be in Man Utd's second team, but until Man Utd buy a player like Rice or Phillips then Fred is going to keep playing.

      1. Harry the Hack
        5 years, 1 month ago

        yeah i guess it was a rhetorical question. More like why didn't they get a good CM. He is making me cringe

    2. The Philosopher
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Has sensitive photos of Ole

  16. Thomas Magnum
    5 years, 1 month ago

    West ham could really do with a RB turned RW turned striker on the counter attack here

  17. Thanos
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Brighton looking lively. Leicester not looking upto it.

  18. Nightcrawler
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Ronaldo is entirely dependant on keeper howlers

    That would have been a goal vs newc keeper

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

      Rumours floating about was Woodman had Ronaldo TC, hence being dropped

  19. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Pereira could be a massive differential in the coming weeks if he stays quiet here
