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.

Another Dutch manager coming into the PL who doesn't get it.
If you're going to copy Man City and Liverpool at least get it right:
- Buy tall CBs (guys who are at last 6'3")
- Buy players with PL experience who have performed well
- If you can't find the players with PL experience, buy the better technical performers who are Brazilian or Portuguese and have CL experience
- Make sure you have lungpower in midfield. Guys who can run all day
Ten Hag doing it all wrong. Buying a CB who is under 6ft. Buying players from the Dutch league (and wants to go for more like De Jong and Ziyech). Hasn't got one lung-busting runner in midfield.
Man Utd need to be careful. Ten Hag could screw them up for a long time.
