No shocks from the team news at Wembley as Pogba starts

Tottenham Hotspur take on Manchester United in the second of two Premier League matches to be contested on Sunday. Kick-off at Wembley is at 16:30 GMT.

Both sides have made two changes to their starting XIs from Gameweek 21.

Ben Davies and the fit-again Jan Vertonghen replace Danny Rose and Davinson Sanchez for the hosts, while Ole Gunnar Solskjaer recalls Jesse Lingard and Ashley Young in place of Juan Mata and Antonio Valencia.

Paul Pogba, as expected, is fit to start after recovering from the knock he picked up in the victory over Newcastle United.

Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial join Lingard in a front three for the Red Devils, who name the same team that lined up against Cardiff City in Solskjaer’s very first match in charge.

Romelu Lukaku is among the substitutes but Alexis Sanchez misses out through injury.

Son Heung-min starts for Spurs for the final time before he departs for the Asian Cup.

Dele Alli, Christian Eriksen and Harry Kane also line up for the Lilywhites in what appears to be a familiar-looking 4-4-2 diamond.

Lucas Moura misses out with a knee injury.

Spurs won this reverse fixture 3-0 back in August, with Kane registering a double-digit haul.

Kane has delivered an attacking return in each of his last ten Premier League starts, while Son has done likewise over his last eight starts.

Almost half of Pogba’s FPL points in 2018/19 (49 out of 100) have come in the last four Gameweeks, meanwhile.

Spurs XI (4-4-2 diamond): Lloris, Trippier, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Davies, Winks, Sissoko, Eriksen, Dele, Son, Kane.

Manchester United XI (4-3-3): De Gea, Young, Jones, Lindelof, Shaw, Matic, Herrera, Pogba, Lingard, Martial, Rashford.

    Don't like hits but this for a - 8 otherwise will get priced out.

    Lovren > Bednarek

    Diangana > Puncheon

    Deeney > Rashford.

    Pogba showing what kind of player he is. What was Mourinho smoking?

    1. M♤rvin
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      1. Old Man
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Crewe Alexandra is his level now

    2. LǝgleSs e|even
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I dont think he was even near interested to show Mourinho the kind of player he is. Caption This?

      1. M♤rvin
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah it looks like he hated Jose.

      Snodgrass's cameo blocks his 7 points for me

  6. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    I hate Lloris. Denied so many Martial+Pogba points today.

  7. Syd.
    • 15 Years

    I would take Deli Alli off and bring nobody on

    1. Podge

    No BPS for Pogba 🙁

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years

      Great

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Until he scores

  9. Zladan

    5 years, 5 months ago

    Pogba is bossing this match.

    Credit to Herrera in particular for his hard work enabling him to do so.

  10. Eat my goal!

    Come on Utd close this out

  11. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    DDG 5th save, Spurs feeding him.

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      He's made a big difference today.

      1. Zladan
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Lol

  12. Pjanić At The Disco
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Is Robertson worth the 1.4m more over Trent?

    Surely Robertson is more nailed on, but Trent has free kicks and corners.

    What’s your choice if you can only choose one?

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Get both.

    2. Mo Mané Mo Problems
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Both

    3. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      TAA

    4. Limbo
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      TAA. Vfm. But double Liverpool defence is template.

    5. Hulk Smash
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Trent is a good option but he will frustrate you at times, being injured, rotated or possibly subbed off early. Robertson is ever present. That's FPL gold.

    6. Zladan
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Prioritise TAA imo.

      Look to double up if possible.

  13. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Spurs cannot finishing

    1. fedolefan

      Bemba cannot typing.

  14. Shark Team
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    PREDICTION:
    Pogba will score a hatrick in remaining of the season

  15. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    6th, he's going for his record!

  16. tm245
    • 12 Years

    Dave saves

  17. Pukki Party
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Would you rather have

    A) Hazard & Doherty/Kiko (rotation) 433
    B) Pogba & Fraser 343

  18. The Red Devil
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Alli should've passed it to son there

    1. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      He couldn't have, Son was covered

  19. oi no professionals
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Aubameyang > Rashford
    Ings > Aguero
    Hazard > Eriksen / Ali

    These for a -4 worth doing? Needs to happen before Rashfords price rise tonight

  20. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Some terrible finishing by spurs

  21. Alli 3',17',64�…

  24. UnitednationsXI
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    tough decisions ahead...was all set to do alonso/salah >> bedranek/salah but with rashford scoring, worth taking a -8?

    Fabianski— button
    Digne Doherty Holebas Alonso — Schindler
    Hazard Rich Pogba Anderson Son
    Kane Jimenez — Kamara

    A: Alonso + Son >> bedranek + Salah and leave 0.7m itb to do holebas > Taa or anderson/kamara >> puncheon/rashford in gw24

    B: Alonso/Son/Anderson/Kamara >> bedranek/Salah/puncheon/rashford (-8)

    C: Son/Hazard/Kamara >> Salah + Rashford + 6.1m mid but means loosing hazard and keeping alonso just to get rashford...

    D: Alonso/Hazard/Kamara >> Bedranek/Salah/Rashford (-4)and leave son to take out the following gw...once again worth hazard for rashford?

  25. Colonel Shoe 肝池

  28. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 14 Years
