Brentford v Man Utd and Leicester v Spurs team news: Ronaldo and Reguilon return

The final two matches of Double Gameweek 22 take place tonight, with Leicester City v Tottenham Hotspur getting underway at 19:30 GMT and Brentford v Manchester United kicking off half an hour later.

The big team news comes from west London, where Cristiano Ronaldo returns to the Manchester United XI after sitting out his side’s two recent meetings against Aston Villa in league and cup.

Scott McTominay is also back after a one-match ban, with Nemanja Matic dropping to the bench and Edinson Cavani missing out because of injury.

It’s an otherwise unchanged line-up, with Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial returning to the bench.

Luke Shaw and Aaron Wan-Bissaka miss out with a hamstring strain and illness respectively, while Jadon Sancho is unavailable due to a family bereavement.

Brentford give a debut to recent signing and £4.5m FPL goalkeeper Jonas Lossl, with Mads Bech Sorensen, Mathias Jensen and Sergi Canos also recalled.

Alvaro Fernandez, Rico Henry, Kris Ajer and Shandon Baptiste are all benched.

In the other match tonight, Leicester welcome back a host of faces from injury and illness.

Kasper Schmeichel, Caglar Soyuncu, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Luke Thomas and Patson Daka all return to the starting XI, while defender James Justin is among the substitutes as he makes a matchday squad for the first time in 11 months.

Sergio Reguilon returns from injury for Spurs, with the wing-back, Hugo Lloris and Oliver Skipp the three changes from the EFL Cup semi-final against Chelsea a week ago.

Pierluigi Gollini, Matt Doherty and Giovani Lo Celso make way, while Son Heung-min again misses out because of injury.

    Just squeeeeezed this one in 🙂

    But I see there was a whole lotta data to sift through and present coherently. Well done, as always

    This three-DM midfield doesn't promise entertainment from Spurs...

    Similarly to the Brighton game last night, this is all set up for a 1-1 draw with goals from Bech Sorensen and Elanga.

    Reguilón takes the first corner

    Set-pieces in Son's brief absence, maybe

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Second corner: Winks taking it from the other side

    Just one teeny, itty bitty goal and we're good, Cristiano. Just one, buddy. K?

    Kane shot cleared off the line by Thomas

    Both sides are losing the ball very often

  12. Ze_Austin
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Kane free kick on the edge...

    Cleared easily by the wall

    1. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Every kane free kick ever hits the wall. Awful.

    Leicester are shocking

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 14 Years

      What do you expect from a heavily injured team?

      1. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Fake Covid tests and the night off 😉

    2. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Maddison blank

  14. Rainer

    2 years, 2 months ago

    Reguilon could actually deliver on promise tonight.

    1. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I could sell him for Laporte, but perhaps Keane out next week...

  15. Baps hunter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Kane misses Reg assist 🙁

  16. Thanos
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Neither team wants to keep the ball!!

  17. sovietrockettes
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Kane could haul big here

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      “Could”

  18. AC/DC AFC

    Are Bruno VCs in tears?

  19. Bubz
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Just want to congratulate CR7 captainers on him starting. Should catch up us Bruno captainers no problem

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Not with Bruno assists lol!

    2. evilfish
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Yep, the article healine says he will return, unfortunately.

    Conte makes defensive players playing attacking football despite the general thought that his tactic are too defensive minded because of the formation he chooses. He was the best option for Man Utd by far

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Skipp punctuated this with a shot

      Nice 🙂

  21. Ze_Austin
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    This match is made for Kane

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Kane hits the bar from another corner

      This is scary

      1. sovietrockettes
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Could easily have a brace already

  22. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Kane hits the bar

    1. Fitzy.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      There's a joke in here somewhere

  23. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Harry bar from Harry corner.

  24. Free Hat
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    So focused on Ronaldo I didnt even realise Lossl starts in goal.

  25. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    this is embarrassing defending by Leicester

  26. Shark Team
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    This game is pain to watch both for those who own Kane and those who don't

  27. Thanos
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Wow... Kane post.

    Tbf should have slammed it in.

    Harry looks hungry

    1. Thanos
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      For a sandwich 😛

    2. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

  29. how now brown cow
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Why is thomas marking kane at corners?

  30. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    I fear what Ronaldo/Bruno may do tonight with Lossl in goal, not been good on the occasions I've seen him
