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.

  5. Rainer

    Liverpool trying to finish 8th or below 😎

  6. nerd_is_the_werd
    • 6 Years

    YEAHHHHHHHHH
    BRUNO FERNANDES (TC), WHAT A START!!!!!

  7. tbos83
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    What on earth has happened to Liverpool?

  8. Tonyawesome69
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Just forget about Liverpool assets regardless if the double for the rest of the season

  9. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Pool again?

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I mean Wolves

      1. GOTHAM City F.C.
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Clearly

        1. Royal5
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Amusing

  10. RICICLE
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Wow Liverpool, you have to laugh

  11. Bishopool
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    It just dont make sense at all what is going on with Liverpool this season. Every game they have no desire, emotion and just let thing happen. So weird. Opposite comparing last seasons and Klopps mentality. It isnt injuries, they literally just dont want to play, but also win anymore.. sad.

    1. Bishopool
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      with first 10min they had like 5 wrong passes, no buildup, fouls, own goal etc. How is that possible that u start game like that? (retoric)

  12. Urban Cowboy.
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Darwins time to shine.

  13. Tic Tacs
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Knew all week I wanted Bruno, couldn't do it without hits... fair to say I expected to be punished but not that early...

    1. FPLtfs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      This. Went Martinez, Shaw and Rash, and kept KdB. Mistake.

      1. Tic Tacs
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        I should've wildcarded so I had a team I was happy with.

        1. FPLtfs
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Can’t wildcard every week. Unless Bruno gets 25+ points this gw, it’s safe to say that the right decision was to wait for a bigger dgw.

          1. Ted Bovis
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            2 years, 11 months ago

            Bruno's on 27 (TC) already bro

            1. FPLtfs
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years
              2 years, 11 months ago

              Bro, did I mention anything about captaining or tripple captaining?

  14. Zimo
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Wish Leicester didn't blank in 28. Would have been fun getting in Maddison in 25

  15. Drexl Spivey
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Is Klopp doing this on purpose?

    1. Bishopool
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      it seems so

  16. Hairy Potter
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Thought Liverpool would have another few seasons at the top with that squad. Scary how quickly they have dropped off the pace.

  17. Ady87
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Been a painful few seasons on here. The ABUs out in force every weekend. Times are good. They will no longer be taken for granted. 🙂

    1. Hairy Potter
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Painful? Man Utd have had it better than 95% of English clubs over the last few seasons. Try supporting a club that's dealt with relegation and won nothing during your lifetime!

      1. Glasner Ball
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Yep, totally agree.

    2. MamboNumberOne
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Top 6 fans really live in their own little bubble don't they. Try supporting a non top 6 team for a few seasons and you'll know what pain really is.

  18. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Rashford(TC) is worryingly far away from the box

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      It's been barely 15 mins and he has a penalty assist...

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        ^

    2. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      It's 15 mins and he already got an assist. Calma.

  19. Bartowski
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Why do I still have Salah?! Why....

    1. chocolove
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Lol. 12 years

      1. Bartowski
        • 15 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Don't really understand self-deprecating humour do you...

    2. Drexl Spivey
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Same, but he's a quality differential when he finds the net.

    3. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      This can't be real

    4. tbos83
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      It's the hope etc.

      1. Bartowski
        • 15 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Nah, more that I had three United already to be honest. I lost hope a long time ago...

    5. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      he'll come good.

      in Spain next year

      1. Bartowski
        • 15 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        France I suspect.

        1. _Ninja_
          • 15 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Only PSG could afford the wages and i doubt they'd want him.

          1. Bartowski
            • 15 Years
            2 years, 11 months ago

            Maybe if Messi doesn't resign they will. Would have thought the most famous Arab footballer might appeal to their owners either way.

      2. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Al Ahli

    6. Arn De Gothia
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Class Is permanent etc

  20. chocolove
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Madders. Miss him a lot

    1. A. PRISE
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      He is one of a kind it's true

    2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I wanted him on the restart but ended up going with Foden due to his injury. Can't wait to get him back

    3. MamboNumberOne
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Had him all the way until his injury, but difficult to get him back now with Saka.

  21. A. PRISE
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Wolves time wasting from the 15th minute. A world record?

  22. Utopsis
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    lol Jesus

    1. Utopsis
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Fail

  23. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Got Saka instead of Bruno because I kept Martial after he scored…

    1. FISSH
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Martial always a troll people never learn

      1. Utopsis
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Martial and James - just stay away

    2. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Martial was always a sell regardless of being back or not, glad I never went hear him, didn’t even entertain the idea

  24. FISSH
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Liverpool throwing in the towel

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      The towel is already been thrown in, its buried in a pit of mud.

  25. A. PRISE
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    If you have Salah, don't worry. There are people like me who own both Salah and Darwin.

    1. Urban Cowboy.
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      We need a television appeal to help people like you.

      1. A. PRISE
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        If you think Liverpool are trash, you are wrong. They are much worse

    2. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Are you keeping them as part of a sponsored charity thing?

      1. A. PRISE
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Dude I have no idea, I do wonder myself to be honest

        1. RICICLE
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Haha just sell immediately bud, good things can be done with all that cash.

  26. Nightcrawler
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Been busy last couple of weeks so totally missed the deadline and dgw

    Haaland(c) again. Luckily have had Bruno and rashford for a while but need Haaland to rescue me

  27. Wirtzle Gummidge
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Undav's nine touches so far:

    One shot on target
    One shot off target
    One shot blocked
    Three big chances missed
    Hit the woodwork once

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Missed 3 sitters in the same attack

      1. Freshy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        thought I was the only one to notice

    2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Is his first name Darwin by any chance?

  28. Freshy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Did we miss the missing 3 sitters in 5 sec from Undav?

  29. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    ManU going to win the league?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Within 3 years if they sign Osimhen, not this year.

      1. MamboNumberOne
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Hope United don't get Osimhen, one of my favourite players to watch right now.

    2. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Nope

    3. ☈☾

    4. tbos83
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      No chance

    5. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Probably not this year. They still need a proper striker. Maybe next year.
