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.


MATCHDAY LIVE WATCHALONG


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.

    I wonder what Brentford fans would have said if you'd told them at the start of last season that they'd be seeing Ronaldo live this season?

    1. Hazz

      They'd probably ask how on God's green Earth they were able to afford Ronaldo.

    2. sovietrockettes

      Better yet if you had told them that before last season

      Think they would've taken been promoted as their top priority than seeing CR7. But no doubt, it wouldn't be too off the top wishlist!

    This Elanga chap looks lively. Hopefully, he'll develop into a better player than Martial or Rashford

    Pretty weird to see ManU tactics. They are playing in the centre of the field. Just passing around, not trying to attack the box. Even of a bit start towards the box, they stop and pass back. Is it really tactical play or just poor attacking form?

      THE GODFATHER OF GEGENPRESSING

      Players arent capable of what ralf want them to do.

    Ronaldo really should retire or play MLS or something.

    1. Grande Tubarão
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Man Utd should go play in the MLS collectively. Majority of their fan base there anyway.

      1. NorCal Villan
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        No idea if you are serious, but living here I see no evidence of majority of Man United’s fan base being in States. Anecdotal, of course, but I’ll stand by it until *proven* differently

    2. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …

      He should go to Sporting and score 35 a year in Portugal.

    3. Scots Gooner

      Got a funny feeling he won't want to be anywhere near the US...

      1. NorCal Villan

        Especially Las Vegas

    Is there a more annoying duo on telly currently than these two on Transfer Show on Sky Sports? They seem to be constantly smirking as if they know a big secret, without actually having any news at all!!

  6. Sim Simma

    Toney denied

    Toney hits the post after.

    1. Hazz

      Oops no, Varane post. 😆 DDG denied Toney.

    Utd are shockingly bad! Penalty only way ronaldo is scoring tonight

    Even if they had triple GW I wouldn't captain Ronaldo ever again

    1. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Really need a 0-0 this game

  9. fedolefan

    All this Ronaldo starts or doesn't start nonsense for 4 points.

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

      He'll be booked if it continues like this.

  10. FPL_Crisis
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    It’s as if Brentford tried to aim at DDG

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

    DDG raking in saves!!!

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

  13. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 3 Years

    Should have passed it back to Mbeumo!

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

    DDG 3 Saves, that header would have gone in.

    1. Goodfeathers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Most exciting Utd player

  15. Big_Andy_GAWA

    Gotta love that save point... 😀

      Ffs

    2. WVA
      • 7 Years

      Normally it's Reguilon lol

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

    Dave 4th. Offside though. Unlucky.

  18. Shultan
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone with DDG captain?

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Here

    2. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Moi, KDB (vc) so hoping he matches him

  19. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    How bad must Sancho, Rashford and Martial be that Elanga plays??

    Ralf is a wasteman manager.

    1. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Ronaldo comes back in and they’re worse.

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

        Well Ronaldo is not a defender.

      2. Old Bull
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        To be fair they were lucky to win that last game. They looked shambolic by the end of it.

  20. Paqueta Rice
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Has DDG scored yet?

  21. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years

    If Reguilon, Moura and Ronaldo(c) all blank here… ah man

  22. Rainer

    They are making Toney look unplayable, United defence is THAT bad.

    1. JONALDINHO
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Toney is a good player tbf

  23. JONALDINHO
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Owning Sanchez and not DDG is just painful. Sanchez concedes less than 1 XG over 2 games and no clean sheets. DDG concedes over 2 XG in 35 mins and you know he’ll end up on 9+ pts

    it is amazing how bad united are. they look worse under ralf

  25. g40steve

    2 years, 2 months ago

    The Glazers really need to bin most of this team & completely start again.

    On tonight’s performance only the keeper stays so far!

  26. @persecuted_by_mods
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Ronaldo fanboys still not seeing that he makes the team worse? Them being crap even when he doesn't play isn't a defense because they do improve as a team

      1. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        They were bad against villa as well, Martinez howler and defensive mistake papered over it

        Just as bad either way

        1. @persecuted_by_mods
            2 years, 2 months ago

            I addressed your point in my original comment as a preemptive strike yet you still made the comment

            Them being bad even when he's not there is true, they however do play worse when he is there. Villa are better than Brentford and utd while not tearing up any trees did perform better than they are so far today

            1. Steve The Spud
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 4 Years
              2 years, 2 months ago

              Preemptive strike lol

              Statistically their results are better with him, go and check them if you like

      2. Danstoke82

        Really wish I hadn’t of captained Ronaldo for a -4 now. United look shot

        1. Top Lad Dakes.
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Ditto… instead of taking Bruno in for free

        2. sovietrockettes

        Brentford will score won't they?

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years

            • 13 Years
            2 years, 2 months ago

        Haha we (Man United) are such a banter club.

        You just have to be able to laugh at yourself I guess.
