Five more Premier League matches follow on from Everton’s win over Arsenal, including the first instalment of Manchester United’s Double Gameweek 22.

Times given in GMT

The team news from Old Trafford is what most Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers will be interested in, and there’s bad news for owners of Anthony Martial.

The Frenchman is absent from the Red Devils’ squad this afternoon, with Erik ten Hag’s team showing two changes from Gameweek 21: Casemiro is back from suspension and Fred is recalled, with the injured Christian Eriksen and Scott McTominay making way.

“He had a setback from the game when he returned. He thought he could build up, but he dropped a little bit back. We have to wait, we have to be patient not to force it.” – Erik ten Hag on Anthony Martial

United’s opponents, Crystal Palace, make three changes from their last game. Joel Ward, Eberechi Eze and the injured Wilfried Zaha are replaced by Will Hughes, Michael Olise and Nathaniel Clyne.

Brighton are without the injured Evan Ferguson, while Moises Caicedo is benched after being the subject of a few bids in the January transfer window.

Bournemouth make five changes to the side that drew 1-1 with Nottingham Forest a fortnight ago. January signings Antoine Semenyo and Hamed Traore both start, while Chris Mepham, Marcos Senesi and Philip Billing all return. There’s still no Dominic Solanke, however.

Hugo Bueno is benched for Wolves this afternoon, with Rayan Ait-Nouri taking his place. Craig Dawson, Matheus Cunha and Pablo Sarabia also come in for the hosts.

Darwin Nunez and Joel Matip are recalled at the expense of the injured Ibrahima Konate and the benched Harvey Elliott for Liverpool.

Alex Moreno surprisingly drops to the bench for Aston Villa, with the fit-again Lucas Digne taking his place.

Victor Kristiansen, Tete and Harry Souttar all make their debuts for Leicester.

Brentford make two changes to the side that drew with Leeds, as Yoane Wissa and Aaron Hickey come in for Mads Roerslev and Kristoffer Ajer.

Romain Perraud, Samuel Edozie, Mohamed Elyounoussi and Romeo Lavia replace Lyanco, Kyle Walker-Peters, Carlos Alcaraz and Adam Armstrong for Southampton.

  5. Rainer
    • 9 Years

    No Casemiro vs Leeds gives me hope for Gnonto!

    1. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Lol.

  6. Patio Kev
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Man Utd giving their lead away late on vs Palace. Where have I heard that before.

  7. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    This game needs another Palace goal

    1. Glasner Ball
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Yes please!

  8. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Rhythm is a dancer,
    Jeff Schlupp is the answer,
    You can play him anywhere
    Forward or defender,
    On the left or centre,
    Scoring goals from everywhere

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      It's a passion

    2. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Is that a real song/chant? It is fire.

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Posted on the Palace forums a whole back. It doesn't really get sung much now since they're tired of him starting 😆

        1. BobbyDoesNotLook
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Makes sense 😀

  9. Call Me Old Fashioned
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    F*** you Casemiro. Ruins Shaw, Bruno and Rashford TC clean sheet points

    1. chocolove
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Absolutely. Dumbazz

    2. Unliklinho
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Yes, but Rashford now on 2 baps...

    3. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      The defence is at ~100%

      Shaws points are as good as useless. Rashford jumping 2 is much better for rank!

      1. Zimo
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Exactly

      2. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        -1 CS, point still stands 😉

      3. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Correct - although not a huge amount. I think I only gained 2k places but it's still a positive.

  10. Zimo
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Oh cool Rashford on 2 bonus now

  11. chocolove
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Antony is Neymar in the making.
    And casemiro is a WWF thug.

    1. x.jim.x
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      “Neymar in the making” would be a bargain for £85m

  12. Tic Tacs
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Honestly, saw it coming with double Utd defence... DDG pulling off worldie saves every week but no bonus, my defence since the break has been a shambles!

    1. Tic Tacs
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Bruno picking up 3 bonus too, so annoyed with myself.

  13. Zimo
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Omg referee attacked Bruno

    1. ☈☾
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      XD

  14. BobB
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    What happened, did Casemero dangerous tackle Schlupp?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Tried to strangle Will Hughes.

    2. jacob1989
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Put both arms around neck on hughes during a brawl

    3. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Strangled milkybar kid

    4. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      There was a bust up between the teams. And Casemiro got caught holding Will Hughes neck in replays. Idiotic from him. Not actually dangerous because obviously he wasn't squeezing but u can't tell that on camera and so had to be sent off.

      1. BobB
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Idiotic, but they have to change the rules. 3 games for that is ridiculous.

        1. Zimo
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Yeah agree but it is what it is

  15. jacob1989
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Very very lucky bruno owners. A cheap penalty and 3 bps.
    Overrated player.

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      How many times you going to cry about it?

      1. jacob1989
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        He is a diver and whiner who can only score penalties.

        1. RICICLE
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Ok? Makes no difference, still points at the end of the day. May players are divers and whiners. That’s football.

    2. Zalk
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Best player on the pitch today

      1. RICICLE
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Many*

    3. chocolove
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Cry more

    4. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Way more satisfying getting ‘jammy’ or ‘undeserved’ points to annoy salty little whiners like you. Enjoy it 😆

    5. chocolove
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Cope with it mf

    6. Neevesy
      • 9 Years

  18. FCHaalandaise
    • 3 Years

  19. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    You can see how important Casemiro is. At least 20 points.

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Could see how brainless he is too

  20. BobB
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Southampton going down. Good. I only recognise Ward-Prowse. Others unknown.

  21. Il Capitano

  22. Royal5

  24. Zalk
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    United doing their best to match Arsenal's disappointment today.

  25. MYNAMEISBigtopmark.sman
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Anyone watch league 1 football? I know liverpool have the worst midfield in the top two divisions. Just wondering if they would be bottom of the third division aswell?

  26. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    3-0 and all Toney has is a YC. Bit annoying

    1. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      As an owner this is bit too much salt.

  27. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Would sell my granny for a West Ham goal today

    1. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Bless your granny. She will be needed today.

  28. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Can't beleive I've brought in Mitoma and -now- the blanks start -__-

    1. tryf88
      • 5 Years

      Metoo ffs

    2. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      He scored 0.01xg (about) goal last week.

  29. Sailboats
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    3 goals from Brentford and all Toney got was a YC

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Only 2 more away from a 2 game ban. On top of his other ban..

  30. BobB
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    What Casemiro did is a low-grade misdemeanour. Punish bad tackles with reds.

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Hughes could have been killed!

      1. Zimo
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Nice callback to Sir Alex 😉 I miss him

    2. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Yeah the red was unnecessary

    3. Unliklinho
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Maybe they appeal down to a 1 game suspension?
