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.

        3 years, 7 months ago

        1. Zalk
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Eriksen fumbling the ball twice though

      2. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

    Ten Haag “Let’s try and play out from the back like City”

    United defenders “No problem boss”

    It's amazing that people fall for the United assets so often.

    DDG betting accounts just got frozen. Extreme points shaving

    My internet went down. What happened for goal 2?

    1. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      De Gea passed it out in a short goal kick. Brentford pressed. Brentford scored.

      1. Zalk
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Eriksen can't pass...

    2. Don Van Vliet
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      United tried to play it out from a goalkick. DDG sloppy pass into Martinez(?), pocket picked, Jensen shimmy and tucked into corner.

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks. Remarkable.

        1. Don Van Vliet
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Pass was into Eriksen*

    8 & 2 - Erling Haaland had just eight touches in Manchester City's 4-0 victory against Bournemouth today, making just two passes in the 74 minutes he was on the pitch, one of which was from kick off. Acclimatising. https://t.co/9FJdTM8Hr8

  18. Paqueta Rice

  19. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    They could relegate this season. They are that bad

    1. marcus2704
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Everton, Bournemouth and Man U to go down.

      The last one is just wishful thinking, they will still get into the top 6 somehow despite being a horror show.

  20. JBG
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    How can't Eriksen f**king keep a ball at his feet??? Isn't that one of his best traits??? His technique??

    1. DelPiero10
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Signed for United. He's caught the virus.

      • GENERATION X
        • 12 Years

        United effect

    2. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      This is incredible. Keep em coming.

    3. marcus2704
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I have Martinelli, but also have Rashford who needs to be eliminated as soon as possible. Who best to come in, I would guess it to be Rodrigo?

      1. DandyDon
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        His hot spell may have finished, was considering before the season started and wish I’d gone there as Neto and Bailey have been a ware of space so far!

    4. Nightcrawler
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      UTD still worse when Ronaldo starts

    5. Rainer

      1. Don Van Vliet
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        You could say he needs to hit da hay-uh.

      I don't know what to say.... that's such a joke.
