Blank Gameweek 34 concludes this evening with Manchester United v Brentford.

Kick-off is at 20:00 BST.

TEAM NEWS

There are two changes for United this evening, one of which is enforced.

Matheus Cunha is absent from the Red Devils’ matchday squad, so Amad Diallo comes into the side.

The other alteration sees Harry Maguire return from suspension and take the place of Noussair Mazraoui.

Leny Yoro has recovered from injury to make the bench.

Also among the United substitutes is Patrick Dorgu, making his comeback after a three-month absence.

Brentford are unchanged from Gameweek 33.

The Bees have their own (very!) long-term absentee on the substitutes’ bench.

Josh Dasilva hasn’t featured for over two years due to a significant knee injury but is back in the visitors’ squad tonight.

LINE-UPS

Manchester United XI: Lammens; Dalot, Maguire, Heaven, Shaw; Casemiro, Mainoo; Amad, Fernandes, Mbeumo; Sesko.

Subs: Bayindir, Dorgu, Malacia, Mazraoui, Yoro, Mount, Ugarte, Lacey, Zirkzee.

Brentford XI: Kelleher; Kayode, van den Berg, Collins, Lewis-Potter; Yarmoliuk, Jensen, Damsgaard; Schade, Thiago, Ouattara.

Subs: Valdimarsson, Hickey, Pinnock, Dasilva, Nelson, Ajer, Donovan, Furo, Shield.

        They created a ton of opportunities 1st half and were unlucky not to be in front. But Carrick switched to a back 5 second half and It killed the match. Sensible.

        MU haven't had one good counterattack this half, as far as I can remember. Specially after Brentford started pushing up more and more players. Says it all about the bench options -_-.

              That late goal probably cost me a green arrow despite only having 8 players this week. Almost Maguire to the rescue but would have liked the extra 6 points. Mainly happy Thiago blanked!
