Martial fit to start for United as Traore returns to Wolves side and Lloris misses out

The final two fixtures of a truncated Gameweek 28 kick off simultaneously at 14:00 GMT.

Everton play host to Manchester United at Goodison Park, while Tottenham Hotspur face Wolverhampton Wanderers in north London.

The stand-out storyline on Merseyside is Anthony Martial‘s (£8.0m) inclusion in the United starting XI, three days after he missed out on the Red Devils’ Europa League win over Bruges with a thigh problem.

Martial wasn’t spotted at the team hotel ahead of this fixture but, not for the first time, a no-show at the Lowry didn’t translate into an absence from the United side.

Bruno Fernandes (£8.3m), the most-bought Fantasy Premier League asset of Gameweek 28, also starts today.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has made only one alteration from last weekend’s win over Watford, with Scott McTominay (£4.9m) replacing the injured Daniel James (£5.8m).

Solskjaer said ahead of kick-off:

It was just a precaution on Thursday, [Martial] probably could have played. We didn’t take the risk though, knowing Odion was going to play well and there would be no problem.

[James] got a knock on Thursday but he’ll be fine for Thursday [against Derby in the FA Cup] or definitely next weekend so not too much to worry about.

Richarlison (£8.3m) and Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£6.3m) continue their partnership up top for the hosts but elsewhere, Carlo Ancelotti is proving increasingly difficult to second-guess.

The Italian has made five changes from the 3-2 defeat to Arsenal, with Theo Walcott (£6.2m) returning from injury and Andre Gomes (£5.2m) making his first start in over three months.

Seamus Coleman (£5.3m), Michael Keane (£5.2m) and Tom Davies (£5.3m) are also recalled, with Djibril Sidibe (£5.1m), Yerry Mina (£5.3m), Fabian Delph (£5.3m), Alex Iwobi (£5.6m) and the injured Morgan Schneiderlin (£4.4m) dropping out.

The big news from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is that Adama Traore (£5.9m) is recalled to the Wolves starting XI, with Nuno Espirito Santo changing back to a 3-4-3 for this encounter.

Leander Dendoncker (£4.4m) makes way, while Santo’s other alteration is enforced: Ruben Vinagre (£4.2m) in for Jonny (£5.4m) at wing-back.

Jose Mourinho has made four changes to his Spurs side for this afternoon’s clash.

Tanguy Ndombele (£5.8m), Toby Alderweireld (£5.3m) and Jan Vertonghen (£5.2m) are all benched, while Hugo Lloris (£5.3m) is missing from the squad altogether with a groin problem.

Paolo Gazzaniga (£4.2m) comes in for the hosts’ goalkeeper, with Eric Dier (£4.8m), Serge Aurier (£5.0m) and Dele Alli (£8.3m) also returning to the side.

Mourinho said ahead of kick-off:

Hugo Lloris doesn’t feel in a condition to play. He’s played a couple of matches with a little problem which he was able to hide, but this time it wasn’t possible.

It’s another opportunity for Paolo to play and another challenge for the team. [Lloris] is obviously a very experienced and quality keeper, but life is made of challenges and we know we will have to fight until the end of the season, and we play against a very difficult opponent, of course.
