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.

      1. Deulofail
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        I don't understaannnnd

          2 years, 2 months ago

          Ah. Meant clean sheet points!! I got him too. Can’t keep racking up 6+ Saves a game and expect a shut out. Still, don’t ok as a keeper this week

    This gw reminds me on last years Salah vs. Mane triple captain battle, I’m in the losing side again… Huge rank movements…

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

    So who’s brave enough to begin the Bruno bandwagon?

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

      I’m still getting rid after this gw

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

        Why?

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

          He was super lucky against Villa & Brentford been shipping goals like there’s no tomorrow recently. Gonna wild card & get KDB in

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

          Salah astronomically clear as an option

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

      Could be a place holder for Salah quite easily, its him or KDB

  9. Mr. O'Connell
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Probably shouldnt have counted my points. Down to 35.

  16. Rainer

    People being surprised United concede will always surprise me!

    6 saves needed vs Norwich, Newcastle, Brentford...

    1. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

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

      They should consider themselves lucky United haven’t conceded 2 yet

    1. Rohirrims
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Tough luck

  19. Big boy Bowen
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Clean sheets are overrated anyway

  20. WVA
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Sickening, Ronaldo(C), Reguilon, DDG....

    1. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Time to take the plunge like I did mate

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

      Same. Only saving grace is the Maddison goal

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

      Ddg got 8 pts?

    4. Firminooooo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I am speechless at this point. To much vomiting going on.

  21. dark91

    If only United are brave enough to put their ego on hold and sell Maguire and bring a proper cb

    1. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      It's more than another CB they need. Midfield defending is poor. Maguire has had very good games for United. He's not helping in current form but it's a lot more than Maguire.

      1. dark91
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Maguire being the captain doesn't help to start with. Having a reliable cb always helps even if your defensive midfielders are not in good form (e.g Van Dijk in Liverpool). Even Bailly when fit plays better than Maguire

        1. GreennRed
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          He does now. But an in form Maguire is better than the other CBs, Varane still needs more time to improve. Maybe Maguire's confidence will never return for United. The midfield for me are not capable defensive mids. Imagine Kante or Rice in there. If De Gea gets injured they're in real trouble. Henderson not a patch on him. But I like how nó player is guaranteed a start and great to the see young lads Elanga and Greenwood score. He's looking to the future, building slowly, but will get there.

  22. Weak Become Heros

    Kane captain looking alright now.

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

      I'm still positive over Bowen's 7pts so you must be delighted!

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

    Bruno down to 2bps now

    1. Dammit_182
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I get the feeling owners are not that upset…

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

        A rival of mine TCd Bruno so makes a fair difference to me if it sticks

        1. Dammit_182
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Think you just have to say well done to them. It’s proven getting your capt right in the DGW is a way to climb the ranks and there will be other chances.

  24. Big_Andy_GAWA
    • 12 Years

    DDG (c). Absolutely gutted

    1. Eh, just one more thing ...
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

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

        Lol wtf. Has anyone called him mutant slug before? 😆

    1. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Didn't FH. Keeping the remaining one for hopefully a bigger DGW. 51 points. (59-8). Prob end up around 800K Or.

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

        51 isnt bad for non-free hit

        1. GreennRed
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Cheers. Was looking better at 80 mins in Leicester game with Maddison captain on 3 baps. But it could have been a lot worse and plenty of GWs to go.

    Play for GW23:

    1. DDG (WHU)
