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.

    Looks like Rashford now goes to the same barber as Pogba!

      • 13 Years

      We call it sauce.

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

    I think it's time for me to stop 'monitoring' Rashford. Been doing so for a few weeks now. I need to be more Rash in the future.

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Good one

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

      Kane you find a way to get him in?

  3. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Will Jimmy score tomorrow?

    1. Podge
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I have him so no

    2. Limbo
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Yes. A brace in a 0-2 shock home defeat.

      1. Limbo
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        * I have him so no

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

    Love this Berbatov video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zy4bo5oOXSk

    Wonder if he celebrated that goal...

    1. LǝgleSs e|even
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Depends if he still has love for his old team Spurs..

  5. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Lukaku to Stoke/WBA in the summer?

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      West Ham. Arnie replacement. Or maybe Bournemouth

  6. Make United Great Again
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    United fan. Own Pogba & Rashford. Orgasmic.

    1. 1314
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      same..and I own Lindelof too !!

  7. tiger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Pogba assist is all good...could finally get into the top 10k today

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      If you don't own Rash that means decrease in rankings

      1. tiger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Not true

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Liverank got me just inside of top 10k but got no city

      1. tiger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        LiveRank has me at about 8,600...got Aguero in the City game.

  8. Zladan
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Rashford at his price is an absolute bargain. There’s literally nobody within £3m up or down his price you would rather have.

    1. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Correct

    2. Amey
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah.
      Getting him now !!

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah, looks like an obvious replacement from Kamara

  9. Outatime
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Pick one

    A) Richarlison Auba to Salah Calvert-Lewin
    B) Haz Auba to Salah Firmino/Jimenez

    Robertson Digne Alonso AwB Bennett
    Haz Pogba Rich Fraser Stephens
    Auba Kane Rashford

    1. Bram
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      B with Jimi - pretty much the template front 3 then (for good reason)..

  10. FDMS All Starz
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    How has Kane looked? Still failing the eye test as always?

    1. Amey
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Okay.
      Not great.
      Scored an OFFSIDE goal 😛

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

    This just got a lot more tempting, even with the hit.

    Son, Hazard, Kamara > Salah, 7.2 mid, Rashford (-4)

    Gives me Pogba and Rash.

    1. Lrf
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Good moves

    2. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      As a combo do it.Hazard will troll u next 3 loll

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

      Who is the 7.2, though? No one really at that price. Except Rich, and after today, I'm not thrilled by that.

  12. Michelle Davin
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    A) Hazard & son & Laca
    To
    Rashford,salah,bernardo silva

    Or
    B) Martial,laca,son
    To
    Salah,camarasa,rashford

  13. Bring the Cavalry
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Maybe wrong time to ask but these transfers seem too obvious.

    Hazard, Fraser, Ings > Salah, Camarasa, Rashford

    ??

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I kind of like Hazard and Fraser

      1. Bring the Cavalry
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        I do also, especially with Fraser home to West Ham. Just think rashford in an in form manU side is too good to miss out on

    2. Limbo
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Have you got to play Camarasa?

      1. Bring the Cavalry
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        No, on the bench.

        1. Limbo
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          I'd say it looks good. Effectively it's Frazer + Hazard vs. Salah Rashford which is a lot easier to see.

          1. Bring the Cavalry
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Yeah true, well put. Thanks for the reply

    3. Bring the Cavalry
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      -4

  14. Do I Not Like Orange
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Would triple Utd be too much for BHA/BUR? Already have Pogba/Martial, but feel I need Rashford before he goes up much more.

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I am considering too. Will sell that Muppet Richarlison

    2. Bram
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      As you already own Martial then yes. Pogba & Rashford certainly preferred 2.

      1. Bram
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Sorry in contextof the question no lol - i.e. buy Rashfrord 🙂

    3. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Double up vs bha and triple up vs Burnley I think with ando to martial

  15. Legohair
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    My team

    Patricio-Guaita
    Robbo-Luiz-Doherty-Bennett-WB
    Salah-Hazard-Martial-Richarlison-Romeu
    Kane-Wilson-Mitro

    2 FT 0.4
    Thinking is Mitro&Luiz to Rashford&TAA good move?
    Dont like to sell Luiz but dunno who else to sacrife to get Rashford?

    1. Bring the Cavalry
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Good move I think, TAA is so cheap

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

        Thanks

    2. FourLokoLeipzig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      My planned transfer barring injuries is Luiz to TAA this week. Luiz has been great but a few tough fixtures ahead

  16. tm245
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    That pass.

  17. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    It's terrible the things fantasy football will make you do. I just jumped up and cheered when Utd scored. I feel dirty.

    1. Podge
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      You are dirty

  18. Amey
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Going for Arnie instead of Rash was stupid decision 🙁
    Could have been brilliant and svaed a ft.

    Correcting it now 😀
    Now Kane goal + Pogba goal & I won't care about lack of city in my team (this gw 😛 )

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Wasn't a stupid. It was educated call. Did you got the brace pts from Arnie?

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        *get

      2. Amey
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        He he.
        Yep.
        Would have kept Arnie but this China money 🙁

  19. Lucky Z
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Vardy to Rashford? Just why I did not bought him 3 weeks ago instead of Vardy.

  20. Game&Watch
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Auba + Anderson > Rashford + Pogba for a hit reasonable?

  21. Pooodle
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    This is probably a bit much, but can’t help but thinking this would really improve my team over the next few. Only problem is it’s for -8...

    In - Rashford, Trent, Puncheon

    Out - Ings, Luis, Books

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

    Getting cold feet on my Salah move now.

    It’s all penalties and he’s horrendous at them. He’s missed many for Egypt and the keeper gets his hand on them often recently.

    1. Esalman
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Liv always play like they can score 3-4 any day. I wouldn't be worried.

    2. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Don’t get him then. More people who don’t have him the better

    3. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      He will easily score at least 5 goals at home to Palace, Leicester and Bournemouth without penalties

    4. Podge
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Could go mane or Firmino

    5. BIG TONES
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I just folded and got him back in. For protection basically as my differentials would secure a small rise some weeks or a big drop if Salah outscored them

    6. DAZZ
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Mate why are you constantly banging on about a salah transfer?

    7. SADIO SANÉ
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      His pen yesterday was quality

  23. The Greenback Boogie
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Early transfer thoughts for next GW. Have 2 FTs.

    A. Auba + Son to Aguero + Pogba
    B. Auba + Son to Rashford + Sterling
    C. Auba + Son + Mitro to Kane + Rashford + Deulofeu for -4

  24. Esalman
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Rich > Pogba no brainer? Have rashford and digne.

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I would do that transfer asap and sleep like a baby

    2. Pooodle
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Yup

  25. Slippy
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Need to make 2.9 to get Rashford in!
    Who to downgrade??
    Anderson
    Richarlison
    Hazard

    ??

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

      Anderson

  26. MidTableFantasy
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    OK then Arnie or Jimenez to Rashford?

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Lose arnie

  27. Pat Bonner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Pleasing that it was Trippier who gave it away

  28. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Rashford triple rise coming

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Rashford and Pogba are already the two most transferred in ahead of the next GW (>90k transfers)

    2. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      0.2 rise surely.Doing Arnie to rash today

  29. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    I can do Alonso Billing Sane Auba to TAA Salah 6.7 Rashford... hmm.

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      -8?

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Or -12?

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

        -8

  30. Paganoi
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Thoughts on who to bring in for Son? Richarlison was the plan but his form is putting me off. Needs to be

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Sane or bief defence

    2. Paganoi
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      ...need to be 8.2 or less. Bilva? Shaqiri an option?

    3. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Depends who you have! Pogba is obvious one to get

      1. Paganoi
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        MF is.

        Martial - Haz - Salah - Son (Gunnarsson)

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

          Pogba for sure
