Five more Premier League matches follow on from an end-to-end, four-goal thriller at Elland Road.

Manchester United can move back level on points with Newcastle United with a win over Wolverhampton Wanderers today but they’ll have to do it without Marcus Rashford, whose leg injury prevents him from involvement in Erik ten Hag’s squad today.

Anthony Martial, Jadon Sancho and a fit-again Raphael Varane return to the line-up, with Wout Weghorst and Tyrell Malacia dropping to the bench and Rashford missing out altogether.

Wolves boss Julen Lopetegui keeps the same 10 outfield players but makes a change between the posts, with Daniel Bentley starting ahead of Jose Sa.

And there’s a change in goal made by Chelsea boss Frank Lampard, too, as Edouard Mendy replaces Kepa Arrizabalaga.

Raheem Sterling, Mateo Kovacic, Joao Felix and Lewis Hall also come into the side as Mykhailo Mudryk and Kai Havertz drop to the bench.

N’Golo Kante and Ben Chilwell are out injured.

Joe Worrall comes in for the benched Brennan Johnson in the only switch made by Forest boss Steve Cooper, who reverts to a more defensive 3-4-2-1 set-up.

The one solitary change across the two teams at Villa Park, where Aston Villa host Tottenham Hotspur, sees Leon Bailey come in for Bertrand Traore.

And Roy Hodgson’s only alteration at Selhurst Park sees Will Hughes deputise for an injured Jeffrey Schlupp.

Chris Mepham and Ilya Zabarnyi oust Marco Senesi and Adam Smith from the Bournemouth backline, meanwhile.

Southampton manager Ruben Selles makes two enforced changes for a must-win game, with the absent Armel Bella-Kotchap and Che Adams replaced by Lyanco and Paul Onuachu.

Fulham are unchanged, so Aleksandar Mitrovic has to settle for a place among the substitutes on his return from an eight-game ban.

    Anyone watching Man Utd...

    Anything happening at Old Trafford?

    1. It's Fergie Time

      antony missing shots

      Bruno flattering to deceive as usual

    3. tiger

      Not a great deal, although Man Utd have had a few chances...just now Anthony should have scored

      1. tiger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Also Diego Costa took just 15 minutes to get his yellow card 😀

        Just now - Anthony A Martial G

    4. Red Star Toro
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      United attacking but toothless

    5. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      No. United look sluggish, sitting off and letting Wolves have the ball.

      Played more games than any other club in Europe's top 5 leagues, so it's probably catching up with them.

      1. Alan The Llama
        • 16 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Oh, that's why they're poor.

        1. Piggs Boson
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          Nearly 60 games now... with a ton of injuries and suspensions, and a thin squad ..

            • 11 Years

            Second home game in the last 8 as well, lot of travel needed doesn't help

  3. Bubz

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Timing

    2. Ady87

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years

        This will not change my mind

        • 10 Years

    Ah yes, Bruno crucial to the goal but no FPL return

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years

      Curse of playing deep.

  8. Piggs Boson

      had antony shot, he would have missed it

      1. Paqueta Rice
        • 5 Years

        Almost certainly

  10. Sun Jihai

      Maybe? #JusticeForMarch

      1. Jon Snow
        • 10 Years

        Staying hopeful since official FPL twitter confirmed the assist

          Added.

    It sounds flat at Villa Park

    Too much or not enough Brew 11?

    1. lifes a pitch
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      No it doesn't.

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        I've been loads of times where it's a cracking atmosphere but that's not coming through on my TV feed today.

        1. lifes a pitch
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          Was abit flat for 15mins. But been pretty decent otherwise. Put ur volume up lol

  14. JOELIO8701
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    I am still in utter disbelief over Wilson Captain spawnyness. It was such a bad pick based on data, probability and no team leaks (which I find abit unethical anyway as it’s unfair on other players - which is why I try to ignore them when I see the reveals).

    But yeah - unless Isaak can pull this back it’s really going to hurt alot of us.

    I think Haaland gets a Hattrick tomorrow fyi.

    Anyways - LETS GO BRUNO!!

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      He's scored loads recently with less minutes...

      A lucky striker is a good attribute!

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Minutes data?

    3. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Weird post. He was a great picked based on data alone. Even as a non-Wilson owner I have to admit that.

    4. JOELIO8701
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Damn. Martial - knew I should have got him in

    5. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I can’t believe every man and his dog in my main ML capped Wilson tbh, literally do not pay attention to any data and just luck out. I have both, but it still is annoying for sure.

    6. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Data? He had the best xG per 90 stats in FPL tbh

    7. Jon Snow
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      My no early transfers rule priced me out of Wilson which is annoying. He looked so dangerous last game.

      But I ended up with Willock and Martial so can't complain too much

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Against Arsenal?

    8. Alan The Llama
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I never thought about buying Isak over Wilson. If calling it "spawnyness" helps, I have no issue with that.

      Another 90 mins to go.

    9. JOELIO8701
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Wilson is injury prone

  15. brianutd-why always we? 20
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Yellow Casemiro

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      So harsh

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Got himself a reputation now...

  16. Always a Red Devil
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    wheres the people that said we over paid for anthony

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Lol we did

      1. Always a Red Devil
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        did you just see that assist

    2. Bartowski
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      The same place you left them?

    3. bigwig
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      for real?

    4. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I'm a United fan and still think we paid for potential rather than ability

      1. Always a Red Devil
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        yeah his potential is huge but nothing wrong with his ability neither

        1. bigwig
          • 15 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          omg, he's awful

          1. Bennerman
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 7 months ago

            "omg, he's awful" sums up the level of insight here I'm afraid.

            I'm an adult and like grown-up talk about football, you just don't get that on here.

            It's like a whatsapp group for early-20s lads. An uncomfortable truth for some, but it's the case.

            1. Always a Red Devil
              • 2 Years
              2 years, 7 months ago

              totaly agree

              1. bigwig
                • 15 Years
                2 years, 7 months ago

                Good for you, we disagree on Antony. I hope he comes good but he doesn't look good at all right now

                1. Always a Red Devil
                  • 2 Years
                  2 years, 7 months ago

                  thanks i think you will come round by end of season though

                  1. bigwig
                    • 15 Years
                    2 years, 7 months ago

                    So in the next 3 games? I doubt it. It looks like he needs another season to settle in and it looks like he needs coaching. tbf alot of the stuff he does that is bad looks like ti could be coached out of him, so it could still happen for him

            2. bigwig
              • 15 Years
              2 years, 7 months ago

              Whiny nonsense. No one needs insight from me on how he is bad, I was merely refuting the lad above who has Utd blinkers on. Thats not to say Antony can't come good but his general decision making isn't what it should be and his shooting is really one dimensional.

              1. Bennerman
                • 7 Years
                2 years, 7 months ago

                I rest my case. Bye.

                1. Bennerman
                  • 7 Years
                  2 years, 7 months ago

                  'Honestly'. Like, I mean.

      2. bigwig
        • 15 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        100%. I honestly can't see it, I think he's a dud

        1. Biggsy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          I can see it. But it's a price tag that demands more than he has shown so far. Good player, but £85m isn't what you pay for a good player

    5. TKC07
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Sounds like a brag due to huge improvement in his cost per assist(return)??
      From 100mn per assist to 50mn per assist? Lol

      1. Always a Red Devil
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        footballs not all about assists though

        1. TKC07
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          So u bragged tor nothing then?? Not even that assist?

          1. Always a Red Devil
            • 2 Years
            2 years, 7 months ago

            im not just talking about that im talking about everything

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

      I'm not sure an assist v Wolves is worth 100m

      1. Always a Red Devil
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        *62m

        1. Biggsy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          *82m with about 5m in add-ons

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

          Ah my mistake, so if he gets another assist ManUtd will have actually made money on him

    7. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      He's absolutely useless

    8. x.jim.x

      He’s shocking

      Spurs only turn up second half these days. Mason seems good at tweaking, not so smart at starting 😛
