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.

    Should have done Mitro to Rash one week earlier. I was contemplating . He is mine as planned. One week maybe too late

    Lloris is a liability

    1. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      He is so overrated

      Spurs need to consider a replacement

    2. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Spurs D is a no-no.

  16. M'arvin

    It's seems the sky go app has a slight delay. You all ruined that goal for me.

  19. Grounderz

    1. Klip Klopp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Why??

    2. farmerfat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      But why ?

    3. svasei - Up (?) the Rovers
      • 14 Years

      Hello Mou

    4. Arteta
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Why would you bench him?

    5. DV8R
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Who did you play instead?

    6. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Benched Pogba for.... Barnes?!

    7. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Why have him then?

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

      this what I mean about the benches around here, this guy benches Pogba. Like what the actual?

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

    If I could captain the right person I'd be flying

  25. fedolefan
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Christ, Pog and Rash double dagger. Lloris is such a liability. Can never save when it matters.

  26. MrZ
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Pick vardy over Rashford in WC is my ultimate mistake

  27. Saxe-Gotha
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    ML rival burned his WC and got rid of Pobga. Good times.

  28. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Definitely need to do the Martial/Rashford hokey-cokey 😀

  29. jdp219
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Well, crud. Probably should have stuck with Rashford. Figured Lukaku would have taken his spot.

  30. DAZZ
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Super goal! Pogba class whip that!

    1. sminkypinky
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      And a perfect finish
