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.

Manchester United XI: De Gea, Dalot, Varane, Martinez, Shaw, McTominay, Sabitzer, Antony, Fernandes, Sancho, Rashford.

    Chose the wrong match to watch, by the looks of it.

    50m gone and I've got 6 players out. I'm on 138. is 150 possible?

    1. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 15 days ago

      One goal should do it

  3. HuttonDressedasLahm

    Bought Cash last week ahead of the dgw
    Got injured on IDuty so brought in Shaw for a hit

    I rule!

    Could be another manager gone by tmo

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 15 days ago

      West Ham will still be out the danger zone tonight, so he should be OK until at least the weekend.

      1. Haalander
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 15 days ago

        In fairness harsh to sack a manager when a defender can’t even defend properly

    Plymouth at the Olympic stadium next season. Lol.

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 15 days ago

      Plymouth coming up to the Prem?

    2. Not again Shirley
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 15 days ago

      No chance they are relegated unfortunately. Forest, Southampton and BOU will go down.

      1. Zimo
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 15 days ago

        Bournemouth might not. Agree on the other 2

        1. Nomar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          3 years, 15 days ago

          Leeds instead?

          1. Zimo
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 15 days ago

            I think Wolves

      2. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 15 days ago

        I think it will be those 3 too.

      3. Drexl Spivey
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 15 days ago

        Way too early to call that.

  6. Zenith UK

    Joelinton YC

  7. Hughes Your Daddy

    This Man Utd v Brentford game pretty boring compared to the other match, should turn TV over by sound of it.

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 15 days ago

      Seems a bit excessive, why not change the channel?

      1. noissimbus
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 15 days ago

        Not as exciting as watching United play upside down.

  8. Lucky Z
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 15 days ago

    Gattuso was more attacking than Bruno. Awful buy.

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

      But in a very bad way

  9. how now brown cow
    • 11 Years

    Bruno f yc

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

      Typical ignorant prat

      1. how now brown cow
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 15 days ago

        Sorry, thought you'd want to know. 🙁

  10. _Gunner
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 15 days ago

    Bruno Yc

    1. Lucky Z
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 15 days ago

      maximum what he could do in his role this game

  11. Fred54
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 15 days ago

    I deeply apologise for that Bruno F yellow card, I had wishes of a WHU goal in my head.

  12. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 15 days ago

    Ffs Bruno

  13. Bartowski
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 15 days ago

    Madrid 3-0 up at Barcelona.

  14. Babit1967
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 15 days ago

    Bruno cap, what was I thinking ????

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 15 days ago

      Fabio Borges the FPL goat did it I think too

      1. Babit1967
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 15 days ago

        Horrible move to be fair, Odegaard to Bruno and capped when it would have been Rashford, really kicking myself

  15. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 15 days ago

    Toney time

  16. how now brown cow
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 15 days ago

    Norgaard yc

  17. Free Hat
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 15 days ago

    I think even Varane played more advance than Bruno in this game

  18. ididnt
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 15 days ago

    Feeling pretty resentful right now towards all those who talked up Bruno in the run up to this gw. What a waste of a transfer.

  19. Gizzachance
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 15 days ago

    Bruno y/c, shaw y/c and subbed
    Not good dgw for those 2

    1. The Big Fella
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 15 days ago

      Hadn't noticed Shaw was subbed. What happened? Injured?

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 15 days ago

        Hammy(?)

  20. DycheDycheBaby
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 15 days ago

    Bruno I really do hate you.

    1. ididnt
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 15 days ago

      Thought I was so smart getting him as a differential

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

        Yeah same and with rivals getting a blank from Maddison. So annoying.

    2. It's Fergie Time
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 15 days ago

      when I have him, he does nothing. when I don't, he hauls. I have him, so.....

    3. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 15 days ago

      Not much between him and Maddison tbh.

  21. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 15 days ago

    Bruno’s going straight back out for Salah based on these two games owning him

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

      KDB is the correct choice

      1. Scots Gooner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 15 days ago

        Yeah, that is a better choice actually

    2. Hughes Your Daddy
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 15 days ago

      Yeah Bruno doing nothing in this match, glad I didn’t get sucked it on that one.

  22. Haalander
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 15 days ago

    Bring on Isak ffs

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 15 days ago

      I concur

  23. fish&chips
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 15 days ago

    Where's my schar goal?

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 15 days ago

      Do you believe in goals after assists?

      1. fish&chips
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 15 days ago

        I'm greedy

  24. Gizzachance
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 15 days ago

  26. Free Hat
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 15 days ago

    Bruno needs to deliver a 70yard screamer. Do able

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

      Running 70 yards then screaming at the officials you mean? More likely.

  27. Rupert The Horse
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 15 days ago

    7 subs at the same time has to be a record.

  28. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 15 days ago

    G'wan Schar, get a goal with that big noggin!

  29. tiger
