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.

    Not one for kneejerks or hits but... I have 2 FT

    a) Luiz to Trent
    b) Luiz to Trent, Mitro to Rashford, Kenedy to Puncheon (to fund) -4

    1. DanLFC1
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      if option A I can just bench Mitro next week and play Femenia in an otherwise solid team

    Well done ddg owners, patience rewarded

    So decided to ship Alonso and also that I need Rashford.

    Options
    1. Alonso + Ashley Barnes (I had a spare transfer for Ings, don't ask) >> Doherty + Rashford

    2. Alonso + Callum Wilson >> Trippier + Rashford

    Latter would mean losing Wilson who's been decent to me this season and mean I'd have to hold Barnes at least till i switch back to Ings, but could be just 1 match.

    Lest Sane hauls as I hope he does, I’ll have gotten 2A from my 6 attackers, all who had decent fixtures (Hazard Auba Kane Pogba Camarasa)

    1. The Big Fella
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

          • 7 Years

          I meant same front 6. I am aware who in my team has scored or not.
