The biggest Double Gameweek of 2022/23 comes to a conclusion this evening with two more Premier League matches, both of which get underway at 20:00 BST.

There’s European qualification and top-flight survival at stake as Manchester United host Brentford and West Ham United take on Newcastle United.

There’s significant Fantasy Premier League (FPL) interest in tonight’s fixtures, too, of course:

There aren’t too many shocks when it comes to the all-important team news, particularly at Old Trafford.

It’s one change apiece: Erik ten Hag brings in Jadon Sancho for Wout Weghorst, while Thomas Frank recalls Mads Roerslev at the expense of Aaron Hickey.

Probably the headline line-up call of the night comes from the London Stadium, where Eddie Howe has brought in Sunday’s goalscoring match-sealer Callum Wilson for Alexander Isak up top.

Joe Willock, who was a doubt for this match due to hamstring discomfort, also drops to the bench, with Joelinton taking his place in midfield.

Hosts West Ham have also changed their central striker as Michail Antonio comes in for Danny Ings.

That’s the Hammers’ only alteration from their 1-0 win over Southampton.

    Looking at West Hams schedule there's a good chance they get relegated.

    Be interesting how much Newcastle spend in the summer if they get Champions League.

    1. ZeBestee

      More interesting would be their ability to be able to lure the best players in the World.

        If Brighton can do it...

    Who's playing better in the Utd vs Brentford game?

    1. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      Utd

    2. tiger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      Utd at the moment

    3. Zenith UK
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      United 5 corners in under 20 minutes

    4. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      Utd with more possession but not much in it with clear chances

      1. fantasist
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 10 days ago

        A 0-0 would return 17pts which is decent

      Brentford parking the bus

      1. fantasist
        • 15 Years

    On WC I was between Schärr / Botman and Mee / Pinnock. Had possibility to pick only 9ne more expensive, so I naturally chose... 🙁 You, know. Story of the season.

    If Toon score a bunch of goals is it possible Tripps might not get 3 baps?

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      What heresy is this?

    2. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      Yes

        • 8 Years
        3 years, 10 days ago

        But unless you gave armband to Trippier, it doesn' really matter.

    3. Zenith UK
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      Two different scorers, two different assisters, if the clean sheet stays I don't think he gets any

    How sad that El Clasico is barely even interesting anymore. Through so many era’s and sides it was always a must watch but now I struggle to be interested by it.

    Not great watching Rashford CF against deep 3 CBs

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      He’s not really a CF

      Martial on and rashford out wide would have been so much better

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 10 days ago

        Yup so much better running from the left side into space

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 10 days ago

          I still stand by these comments...

  20. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years

    Shaw performances have dipped since that Liverpool nightmare

    1. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      Are u even watching the match

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 10 days ago

        No but I saw his performance for England and v Newcastle and Fulham recently and he’s been poor

        1. Zimo
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 10 days ago

          No United were poor. Not just Shaw.

  21. Supersonic_
    • 4 Years

    Rashford done anything?

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years

  25. Freshy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 10 days ago

    When Anthony gets the ball, all his teammates runs are decoy only

    1. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      within 20 seconds he drops a deft chip pass into the box
