Five more Premier League matches follow on from Everton’s win over Arsenal, including the first instalment of Manchester United’s Double Gameweek 22.

Times given in GMT

The team news from Old Trafford is what most Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers will be interested in, and there’s bad news for owners of Anthony Martial.

The Frenchman is absent from the Red Devils’ squad this afternoon, with Erik ten Hag’s team showing two changes from Gameweek 21: Casemiro is back from suspension and Fred is recalled, with the injured Christian Eriksen and Scott McTominay making way.

“He had a setback from the game when he returned. He thought he could build up, but he dropped a little bit back. We have to wait, we have to be patient not to force it.” – Erik ten Hag on Anthony Martial

United’s opponents, Crystal Palace, make three changes from their last game. Joel Ward, Eberechi Eze and the injured Wilfried Zaha are replaced by Will Hughes, Michael Olise and Nathaniel Clyne.

Brighton are without the injured Evan Ferguson, while Moises Caicedo is benched after being the subject of a few bids in the January transfer window.

Bournemouth make five changes to the side that drew 1-1 with Nottingham Forest a fortnight ago. January signings Antoine Semenyo and Hamed Traore both start, while Chris Mepham, Marcos Senesi and Philip Billing all return. There’s still no Dominic Solanke, however.

Hugo Bueno is benched for Wolves this afternoon, with Rayan Ait-Nouri taking his place. Craig Dawson, Matheus Cunha and Pablo Sarabia also come in for the hosts.

Darwin Nunez and Joel Matip are recalled at the expense of the injured Ibrahima Konate and the benched Harvey Elliott for Liverpool.

Alex Moreno surprisingly drops to the bench for Aston Villa, with the fit-again Lucas Digne taking his place.

Victor Kristiansen, Tete and Harry Souttar all make their debuts for Leicester.

Brentford make two changes to the side that drew with Leeds, as Yoane Wissa and Aaron Hickey come in for Mads Roerslev and Kristoffer Ajer.

Romain Perraud, Samuel Edozie, Mohamed Elyounoussi and Romeo Lavia replace Lyanco, Kyle Walker-Peters, Carlos Alcaraz and Adam Armstrong for Southampton.

  12. Zidane's Floor
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    No Shaw
    No Bruno

    Needed this from Mitoma

    1. RICICLE
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Still harsh though

  13. FCHaalandaise
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Ffs he did it again didn't he

  14. Zimo
    • 8 Years

  15. MIGHTY JOE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Anyone but Mitoma

  16. mojoindojo
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Went Mudryk instead of Mitoma...

    1. Utopsis
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      In the MUDryk

  17. Feanor
    • 17 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Mitoma legend

  18. The Polymath
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Took a -4 for Mitoma

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Same. Almiron can of course do well but can't really complain about a 11 (-4) point buffer.

  19. BeaversWithAttitude
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Yes, Mitoma!

  20. RICICLE
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Of course it’s Mitoma

  21. Call Me Old Fashioned
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    I am gonna have to get him now despite the blank. I have been avoiding due to that but can't anymore. Just get Mitoma and play with 8 or 9

  22. Defcons are for Kinnear
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    If Mitoma cost 9m we'd all own him

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      If he played GW25 I’d own him

    2. Stranger Mings
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Chelsea getting ready to buy for £100m in the summer

      1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Not enough

      2. George Sillett
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Not very original

  23. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    7 minutes added WTF

    1. The Big Fella
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Fergie time

  24. Hughes Your Daddy
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Rashford inuring himself

    1. Zimo
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Inuring himself to what?

  25. A. PRISE
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    We love you Mitoma

  26. MamboNumberOne
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Getting Mitoma on the world cup wildcard is probably the best decision I've made all season.

  27. ONLYPEPKNOWS
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Last minute change of benching Mitoma and starting Mudryk is my season in a nutshell

  28. BobB
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 17 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Martinelli to Mitoma the only way to go

    1. Feanor
      • 17 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I got him in for Almiron

  29. Sandy Ravage
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Getting March instead of Mitoma continues to burn

  30. Feanor
    • 17 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Arsenal would have won the league if they got Mitoma instead of Trossard
