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.

      Gawd United are awful.

      Justin is back, still gives me nightmares with his standard 9 pointer every week

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Was such a good player, great timing of runs, had a goal in him, could assist, double footed. Was a dream

          1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            Yes very good. Could be a bargain for the rest of the season

      2. FCSB
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Maddison doing nothing

        1. Sim Simma
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          So Far, plenty of time for FK goal and open play assist

        2. TheBiffas
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Sigh

        3. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Sorry I bought him this week (and Mount)

      3. La Roja
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Justin was my lucky charm with those 9 pointers

        1. how now brown cow
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          And people saying hed lose his spot in early September. Did me proud.

        2. have you seen cyan

          Justin trolled me so hard, I dont even want to remember it

      4. TheBiffas
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Shame Leicester defence is so bad at the moment or Justin would be straight back in

        1. Old Man
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

      5. Gunners in Haaland
        • 4 Years

        Welcome back Justin

      6. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        People talk about how Kane is stuck with a club like Spurs. I am surprised not many people say the same about DDG.

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

        Kane desperate to drops out of the baps

      8. rozzo
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Never hear anything about Jadon Sancho do you?

        How much did he cost? Has he done anything yet? Can he even get in the team?

        One of the biggest flops of all time so far.

        1. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Well he's missing out today because he had a family member's funeral.

          Wrong day to argue it.

          1. My heart goes Salalalalah
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            Lazy

          • 12 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Yeah but Man United have a tonne of money, so relatively it's jokes but isn't that big a deal.

        3. Jebiga
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Hes like mourinho. City asset who devastating united 🙂

      9. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Even the word Justin sends shudders up my spine not owning him for that season

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          I think the week I got Justin in was actually when he was playing Spurs. I also had Kane and Son. I cant remember exactly what happened now, but originally fpl said it was a kane goal and son assist, but then it changed to a Justin own goal and Kane assist (I had Kane cap). The point swing was bad 🙁

      10. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Is it just me or does Kane look a lot quicker this game

        1. rozzo
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          It's just you

        3. Brehmeren
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          He looks sharp
