Ronaldo leads Man Utd line as Pogba set to feature in advanced role

Two Premier League matches kick off at 14:00 BST today – Brighton and Hove Albion v Leicester City and West Ham United v Manchester United.

At Brighton, Graham Potter makes just one change as Adam Webster (£4.5m) is sidelined with a hamstring injury and is replaced by Solly March (£5.4m).

Pascal Gross (£6.0m) is continuing to self-isolate due to Covid-19 regulations, but Enock Mwepu (£5.9m) does return to the bench along with Tariq Lamptey (£4.4m).

As for Brendan Rodgers’ Leicester City, Boubakary Soumare (£4.9m) makes his first Premier League start and comes in for Marc Albrighton (£5.4m), while Ricardo Pereira (£5.5m) replaces Timothy Castagne (£5.4m) at right-back.

Meanwhile, Michail Antonio (£7.9m) is suspended for West Ham United after being sent off against Southampton in Gameweek 4. As a result, either Jarrod Bowen (£6.3m) or Nikola Vlasic (£6.0m) will lead the line, with Said Benrahma (£6.4m) and Pablo Fornals (£6.0m) completing David Moyes’ front four.

For Manchester United, Scott McTominay (£5.4m) starts alongside Fred (£5.0m) in a double pivot following groin surgery. That means Paul Pogba (£7.8m) could move back into a more advanced role on the left of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s 4-2-3-1 formation.

Mason Greenwood (£7.7m) starts ahead of Jadon Sancho (£.9.1m) on the right, who drops to the bench along with Donny van de Beek (£5.8m) and Victor Lindelof (£4.9m), both of whom featured in Europe.

    Looks like the West Ham goal just made Ronaldo mad. Should have played for the 0-0 draw.

      • 7 Years

      Yep I bought him thinking there’s no way he’ll return but I’ll cross my fingers.

      What a ridiculous jealous comment.

  14. Rainer
    • 7 Years

    1. Stockport Hatter
      • 7 Years

      Same here. 2193 before today with Ronnie and Rom today

  16. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Ronaldo is going to break the game

    4 goals in 2.5 games, league & champions league, & counting

    1. Jarnathan
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      So not going to sell him for Lukaku for Chelsea's run?

  17. Paqueta Rice
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Ronaldo being selfish should have squared for Greenwood just before that.

  18. Von Lipwig
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Any chance Ben's goal chalked off as own goal?

    1. Guru Mediation
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Nah

      1. Von Lipwig
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Could happen. Sometimes happens the next day even. They have within 24 hours to make a definitive decision.

  19. dark91

    I own Cristiano now but can't ignore the fact that he should have passed to Greenwood before that corner

    1. Sandy Ravage
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago
