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.

      1. Marvin.
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Lukaku is like a tank now. He's put on too much muscle.

  10. Grounderz
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Great hustling from United, limiting space for Spurs players.

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

    Got this back line:

    Robbo Alonso Digne AWB Doherty

    To fund Kane, get TAA or Pereira in for Alonso?

    1. DR0GBA
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      definitely Trent, don't like Pereira's fixtures

    2. Cojones of Destiny
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      taa, lei fixtures are mehh

    3. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I'm getting Trent in for Alonso. But not getting Kane. Yet...

  12. Fantastisk
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Kane deeper than Barry White's voice.

  13. The 5% Team
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Great game to watch...ending in a 0-0?

  14. Richd
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    4 attacking players in this game. Not panicking yet.

    Is Bednerak nailed for Soton?

    1. Fantastisk
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Yes

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Looks it, wouldn't want to be playing him too often though.

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

      Full 90 in his past seven games. I'd say he is.

  19. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Kane playing too deep

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Switched him out for Salah this week, didn't like how deep he likes to go. Think I'm sticking with Salah, Haz, Sterling for the whole season.

      1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Haz? Not worth it, surely?

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

    I hate this spurs kit, can these please like get a decent kit for once. Pure white, no frikin blue or red on it. Their kit from like 1902 or something was the chit

    1. Pukki Party
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      The kit from 1902 had more blue on it than todays kit.

    2. jdp219
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Not the Nike way.

    3. elchilangles
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      the kit they were wore when they won the 1901 FA cup was pretty cool

  21. Alli In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    2FT, 0.2 ITB

    1) Aubameyang and Anderson to Rashford and Hazard and 0.1
    2) Aubameyang and Anderson to Rashford and Pogba and 2.8
    3) Aubameyang and Richarlison to Rashford and Pogba and 2.5

    If I have the extra cash, I'll probably keep it for a couple of weeks and then decide whether to invest it elsewhere or do a double switch in the other direction ie stronger forward, weaker mid

    Views appreciated...

    1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      3, if any. Prefer Anderson over Richarlison. Not keen on Haz either

      1. Alli In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks. I'm not that wild on Hazard either. Looking for a big hitter to join Salah in my midfield which feels a little light with Anderson and Richarlison as no 2 and 3.
        Also considering to just stick it out with Richarlison and Anderson and do Auba to Kun and save one FT

  22. tm245
    • 14 Years

    Berbatov

  23. Gobigorgohome
