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.

    DDG is possessed. Best game by a goalkeeper whole season

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

      Akin to his performance in the 3-1 win over Arsenal last year

      1. The 5% Team
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        yes he was amazing in that game

      2. Arteta
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        14 saves I think?

    1. the axolotl
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      All fairly routine saves. Just lots of them. Spurs finishing has been poor.

    Can't believe I got Etheridge over DDG this week.

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

      He costs 1.1m less and DDG 3 CS all season. What a ridiculous post

      1. GREEN IS GOOD
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        He's kidding

  10. Paul
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Rashford to rise in price tonight
    ... Honestly considering the situation do

    Arnie > Rashford for FT?

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

      That's a Bingo!

    2. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      100% yes....saw Arnie wave goodbye

    3. Elfozzie 42
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Arnie's got one foot out the door, Rashford's on fire in a form Utd team...hardly a risky decision

    Rip martial owners

    1. Numb
      • 9 Years

      Always seems to come off around 70 mins

      1. AzzaroMax99
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Martial to Pogba is no-brainer

        1. Rhodes your boat
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          Can’t afford

            • 6 Years
            5 years, 5 months ago

            It's like trying to hit on the younger girl but having to settle for the older wrinkly sister.

  12. *sigh*
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Who would you give the armband to next week?

    Haz(ars) Sterling(hud) Felipe(Bou) Mo(CRY)
    Kane(ful) Rashford (BHA)

    Currently on Mo

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

      Salah

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Felipe

    3. WVA
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Why even put Haz and Felipe in that? Salah all day

      1. *sigh*
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Both playing dodgy defences and I’m chasing somewhat.

  13. WVA
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Definitely cannot afford ddg

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Eh?

  14. jdp219
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    2FTs. New team on 343 for a hit?

    Fab, Button
    Robbo, Doherty, Luiz, Bednarek, Wan-Bissaka
    Pogba, SALAH, PUNCHEON, Anderson, Pereyra
    Kane, Jimenez, RASHFORD

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Don’t understand the post, you’ve taken the FT’s and that’s the team now?

      1. jdp219
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Haven't done anything yet. Fair enough on the confusion.

        Actual transfer would be:
        Son, Hazard, Kamara > Salah, Punch, Rashford (-4)

  15. Pooodle
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Predicted scores for next week?

    A) Luiz and Brooks

    B) Trent and Rashford

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      6 & 2

      8 & 9

      1. Pooodle
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Worth an 8 pointer to get B then!

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          Oh, that’d be for a -8? Oh i wouldn’t do that

  16. Bram
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    BPS .....
    De Gea (38)
    Rashford (31)
    Shaw (30)
    Pogba (24)
    Really could do with a Kane goal as a Kane Pogba and Rashford owner!

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Or a Pogba goal, or a Rashford goal.

  17. Alli 3',17',64�…
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Son been disappointing in this game, very few touches or attempts

  18. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Now looking at 8 points for Shaw on my bench!

  19. Releasebreaks
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Trying to hold my WC but seems irresistible, too much rubbish in my team:
    Lovren, Balbuena, Wilson, Richarlison, Martial, Aubameyang

    1. *sigh*
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Nah just make first two out as priority.

    2. Ghost Gooner
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I'd WC, by the time the dgws come you'll be 100pts down

  20. Pigsinblankets

    Idiot Pogba.

  21. Syd.
    • 15 Years

    1. grumpyman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

    • 7 Years

    Would you drop Kane for Salah? Easier than dropping Auba/Haz (though will drop em soon likely for others)

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      No

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Definitely wouldn’t drop Kane

      1. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
