Rounding off the day’s Premier League action is Brentford v Manchester United, which gets underway at 17:30 BST.

It’s a game that has relatively little riding on it from a Fantasy Premier League (FPL) perspective: Marcus Rashford is the most-selected player in this fixture with a 10.1% ownership, which about sums it up.

As for the team news, Cristiano Ronaldo is recalled to make his first start of the season in Erik ten Hag’s only change.

Scott McTominay is the player to make way.

Thomas Frank goes to a wing-back system for the visit of the Red Devils, making two changes from the side that drew 2-2 with Leicester City last week.

Mads Roerslev and £4.5m FPL midfielder Josh Dasilva are promoted to the starting XI as Vitaly Janelt and Yoane Wissa drop out.

GAMEWEEK 2 LINE-UPS

Brentford XI: Raya, Hickey, Jansson, Mee, Henry, Norgaard, Roerslev, Jensen, Dasilva, Mbeumo, Toney.

Subs: Wissa, Ghoddos, Onyeka, Strakosha, Lewis-Potter, Damsgaard.

Manchester United XI: De Gea, Dalot, Maguire, Martinez, Shaw, Fred, Fernandes, Eriksen, Sancho, Rashford, Ronaldo.

Subs: Heaton, Malacia, Varane, Wan-Bissaka, Van de Beek, Elanga, Garner, McTominay, Garnacho.

        Don't like the idea of losing Robbo. But you could do Neto to Martinelli and fix your GK situation with that.

        The there's added quality to the first 11 in Saliba, who was impressive again despite his OG and Zhnchenko. Think top4 is real possibility unless we get alot of injuries to key players.

    (Repost from last article)

    Early days but who to move Bailey to? Have 2 5itb

    A) Martinelli
    B) Gundogan
    C) Rodrigo
    D) Other

    I think B is a bit early for the punt but Gundogan can be very consistent when he starts these runs, striking up a good relationship with Haaland. I have Aaronson so maybe Rodrigo double-up is too much but he's likely on pens now too if Bamford is out for any length of time. I'm not worried it's a false dawn as I think he just didn't suit Bielsa's style and positioning (easy to forget he was a good goalscorer in La Liga when he arrived). Martinelli may be becoming a problem for me with his ownership.

        Neto, Bailey, Andreas deep. Crikey.

        Will keep Neto - what are the bets in the hard fixture he scored.

        Andreas - came of injured, need him to play next week.

        Bailey - won’t start considering Ings and Watkins worked today. Dewsbury-Hall against Saints will be decent, but it’s not really worth a transfer. Sigh.

        Might have to play Patterson AND Neco. Welp, especially with Coleman back.

        I don't think I've seen such a void in budget midfielders.

        There is precisely one outstanding midfielder under 8m and it's Martinelli. The rest all have fairly sizeable question marks over them. Rodrigo with 3 goals in 2 games might be worth a shout but that's about it.

            He will fall in price this week for sure. Mostly engaged managers have him so he will lose a chunk of his % ownership.

            I'd sell Saka for Martinelli if you have 2 FTs and can use the 2m well.
