Four more Premier League matches get underway at 15:00 BST this afternoon.

They include the fixture that many Fantasy managers are banking on – maybe more than hope in expectation – being a one-sided bloodbath: Manchester United v Burnley.

TEAM NEWS

Ruben Amorim makes one change from the team that drew at Fulham last weekend, with Diogo Dalot coming in for Patrick Dorgu.

Benjamin Sesko is only among the substitutes as visiting boss Scott Parker named an unchanged XI from the win over Sunderland.

Also sticking with the same line-ups from Gameweek 2 are the head coaches of Tottenham Hotspur and Bournemouth for their encounter in north London.

The headline team news from the 3pm kick-offs comes from Molineux, where the sought-after Jorgen Strand Larsen is absent.

Also missing is injured £4.0m defender Ki-Jana Hoever.

Hwang Hee-chan instead leads the line for Wolverhampton Wanderers, who also bring in Jackson Tchatchoua, Santiago Bueno, Hugo Bueno and Andre.

Matt Doherty, Jeanricner Bellegarde and David Moller Wolfe drop to the bench.

Beto is preferred to Thierno Barry up top for Everton, who also welcome back Vitaliy Mykolenko to their Premier League XI after his midweek recovery from injury.

Tim Iroegbunam makes way.

Finally, at the Stadium of Light, the hosts bring in Nordi Mukiele and Enzo Le Fee for the injured Dan Ballard and the benched Simon Adingra.

Brentford are unchanged.

    • 12 Years
    10 months, 22 days ago

    Muniz own goal last week for United
    Cullen OG today
    Last pre season game against Fiorentina, one goal, an OG

    Reminds me of a season 10+ years ago where Uniteds second or third highest scorer at Christmas was OG

    1. Nomar
      • 16 Years
      10 months, 22 days ago

      Might be the same this season too

    2. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 months, 22 days ago

      Because of the immense ball pressure

  8. Kodap
    • 8 Years
    10 months, 22 days ago

    Right, who’s everyone shipping Cunha for?

  9. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    10 months, 22 days ago

    Zirk on

  10. Tonyawesome69
    • 7 Years
    10 months, 22 days ago

    Zirkzee on instead of Sesko haha

    1. chocolove
      • 15 Years
      10 months, 22 days ago

      Hahahahahaha

  11. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    10 months, 22 days ago

    Sesko must been pretty poor. How is he not coming on?

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 22 days ago

      He isn't fit enough and having trouble settling in

      1. WVA
        • 9 Years
        10 months, 22 days ago

        It’s not hard to get fit enough as a pro player, needs game time

        1. Royal5
          • 14 Years
          10 months, 22 days ago

          My thoughts as well. And it’s Burnley

      2. chocolove
        • 15 Years
        10 months, 22 days ago

        Don't buy this "fit" excuse

    2. SINGH
      • 7 Years
      10 months, 22 days ago

      Because he isn't that great. Arsenal and Newcastle turned him down. He jumped go United last minute out of desperation.

  12. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    10 months, 22 days ago

    Dodging injuries like Keanu here

  13. More Tragic
    • 10 Years
    10 months, 22 days ago

    Cunha owners in the mud

  14. TheBiffas
    • 5 Years
    10 months, 22 days ago

    Zirkzee on

  15. Konstaapeli
    • 9 Years
    10 months, 22 days ago

    Last seasons ML winner wasted WC last week and FH:d this week with Cunha in. Lovely.

  16. tiger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 months, 22 days ago

    FPL is a wild form of torture...

    1. Kaneyonero
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 22 days ago

      Depending on United for anything is a cruel form of torture

  17. SM001
    • 10 Years
    10 months, 22 days ago

    Zirkzee?

  18. CoracAld2831
    • 5 Years
    10 months, 22 days ago

    Cunha injured, lol.

    Transfer wasted.

  19. WVA
    • 9 Years
    10 months, 22 days ago

    Zirkzee on instead of Sesko lol

  20. JT11fc
    • 7 Years
    10 months, 22 days ago

    I get maybe Amorin is trying to protect Sesko but surely he must be unfit or something

    1. Thanos
      • 4 Years
      10 months, 22 days ago

      Protect from what??

      1. JT11fc
        • 7 Years
        10 months, 22 days ago

        The pressure to hit the ground running I guess, hes getting the scrutiny anyway of course

  21. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    10 months, 22 days ago

    Why on earth you buy a 75m striker and keep on bench?

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 22 days ago

      He'll play after the international break. Amorim already said they need to get him fit and settled into life in Manchester

    2. Bushwhacker
      • 7 Years
      10 months, 22 days ago

      Because in training you've seen he's not ready for more than 45 minutes?

    3. Rock n Grohl
      • 15 Years
      10 months, 22 days ago

      Didn't he play 90 against Grimsby though?

  22. Thanos
    • 4 Years
    10 months, 22 days ago

    Why did we sign Sesko if he isn’t coming on!??

  23. putana
    • 8 Years
    10 months, 22 days ago

    why did the commentary call casemiro one of the smallest players on the pitch

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 22 days ago

      Clueless

  24. Moon Dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 1 Year
    10 months, 22 days ago

    Zirkzee did look good midweek tbf

    Amorim keeps stressing the need to "earn your place"

  25. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    10 months, 22 days ago

    Ndiaye again

  26. tiger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 months, 22 days ago

    Ev G - Ndiaye

  27. Warby84
    • 11 Years
    10 months, 22 days ago

    What’s the point of buying Sesko???

    1. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 months, 22 days ago

      He was the only one available

  28. Pep Roulette
    • 8 Years
    10 months, 22 days ago

    Best mid for 6m? Except Reijnders & King

    1. Tomerick
      • 12 Years
      10 months, 22 days ago

      Dango?

  29. Thanos
    • 4 Years
    10 months, 22 days ago

    Finally KDH assist!

  30. JohnnyCroat
    • 10 Years
    10 months, 22 days ago

    Livescore feed says "United end the game with 10 men as they've used all their subs"... AI will likely unplug our life support one day
