Rounding off the day’s Premier League action is Brentford v Manchester United, which gets underway at 17:30 BST.

It’s a game that has relatively little riding on it from a Fantasy Premier League (FPL) perspective: Marcus Rashford is the most-selected player in this fixture with a 10.1% ownership, which about sums it up.

As for the team news, Cristiano Ronaldo is recalled to make his first start of the season in Erik ten Hag’s only change.

Scott McTominay is the player to make way.

Thomas Frank goes to a wing-back system for the visit of the Red Devils, making two changes from the side that drew 2-2 with Leicester City last week.

Mads Roerslev and £4.5m FPL midfielder Josh Dasilva are promoted to the starting XI as Vitaly Janelt and Yoane Wissa drop out.

GAMEWEEK 2 LINE-UPS

Brentford XI: Raya, Hickey, Jansson, Mee, Henry, Norgaard, Roerslev, Jensen, Dasilva, Mbeumo, Toney.

Subs: Wissa, Ghoddos, Onyeka, Strakosha, Lewis-Potter, Damsgaard.

Manchester United XI: De Gea, Dalot, Maguire, Martinez, Shaw, Fred, Fernandes, Eriksen, Sancho, Rashford, Ronaldo.

Subs: Heaton, Malacia, Varane, Wan-Bissaka, Van de Beek, Elanga, Garner, McTominay, Garnacho.

    Last week in my draft team I played Mbuemo and benched Mitrovic.

    This week I sold Mbuemo and started Mitrovic. Lol at me.

    You can say what you want but the last few years with players like Zlatan, Ronaldo, Cavani have been the downfall of Man Utd. I'm not saying that these players are to blame but when a team relies on ageing world stars who are way past their prime it's always a bad sign!

      Manchester United v Liverpool next week (GW3) - any thoughts after first two games of the season against Brighton & Brentford on score line?

      I have Trent, Robertson and Salah. Next week seems to be raining goals from Pool. Makes me want more Diaz and Nunez instead of Trent and Robertson.

      Honest question.
      Target Bournemouth or Man UTD this season for big hauls?

      The Brentford fans didn't seem too fussed about being 4 up at half time.

        Nah, as if being up 4-0 against United at HT is a big thing nowadays
