Well, Lisandro Martinez has had a busy week hasn't he?

On Tuesday in Madrid, following Manchester United's defeat by Atletico Madrid in the Champions League, the defender called out the club for a lack of investment and had left head coach Michael Carrick with an under-equipped squad.

Eeeeek. It's not often a player calls out the club like that but many United fans said Martinez had expressed exactly what many of them are feeling.

Even so, Martinez met with club officials on Thursday, after which he issued an apology and has reportedly paid a fine.

"Everyone knows that I am a passionate person and that I live football with great intensity," he said.

"The frustration of the defeat led me to express how I felt at a time and place that perhaps were not the right ones, and for that I want to apologise."

The headline news from Elland Road is that defender Lisandro Martinez starts for Manchester United following his controversial remarks criticising the club's hierarchy in midweek.

Leeds United XI

Leeds United are unchanged after their narrow loss to champions Arsenal last weekend.

Leeds XI: Trafford, Bogle, Justin, Elvedi, Muharemovic, Gudmundsson, Ampadu, Tanaka, Stach, Okafor, Calvert-Lewin.

Subs: Zetterer, Longstaff, Wilson, Aaronson, Nmecha, Bijol, Bahoya, Bard, Gruev.

Man Utd XI

There are three changes for Manchester United from their previous Premier League outing, which ended in a 1-1 draw with Tottenham.

Summer signings Carlos Baleba and Andrey Santos, and defender Diogo Dalot, all keep their places after starting in the Champions League loss to Atletico Madrid in midweek.

Luke Shaw and Kobbie Mainoo are absent with injury, while Mateus Cunha drops to the bench, where he is joined by Marcus Rashford.

Man Utd XI: Lammens, Dalot, Maguire, Martinez, Yoro, Diallo, Tielemans, Santos, Baleba, Fernandes, Mbeumo.

Subs: Darlow, Mazraoui, De Ligt, Mount, Rashford, Cunha, Zirkzee, Lacey, Amass.

Brighton

Fabian Hurzeler makes seven changes to the Brighton side that thrashed Lithuanian team Kauno Zalgiris 4-0 in the Conference League on Thursday.

The only four to remain are goalkeeper Vart Verbruggen, defenders Olivier Boscagli and Lewis Dunk and in-form midfielder Pascal Gross.

Brighton XI: Verbruggen, Boscagli, Vuskovic, Dunk, Kadioglu, Gross, Andres, De Cuyper, Ayari, Gomez, Kostoulas.

Subs: Steele, Hadjam, Svobada, Hinshelwood, Yalcouye, Costinha, O'Riley, Osman, Rutter.

Crystal Palace

Three changes for Crystal Palace from the 11 that began the 3-2 away Europa League loss at Lyon. Honest Ahanor, Daichi Kamada and Anan Khalaili start, with Oscar Mingueza and Ismaila Sarr dropping to the bench, while Axel Disasi is not in the squad.

Striker Jean-Philippe Mateta is among the substitutes having been out with a hamstring injury for almost two months.

Crystal Palace XI: Benitez, Canvot, Ahanor, Richards, Mitchell, Timber, Wharton, Kamada, Khalaili, Pino, Strand Larsen.

Subs: Matthews, Mingueza, Osorio, Lerma, Hughes, McNeil, Sarr, Nketiah, Mateta.
