Two Premier League matches kick off at 2pm BST today – Southampton v Manchester United and Wolverhampton Wanderers v Tottenham Hotspur.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer makes two changes from the team that comfortably beat Leeds United in Gameweek 1, as Nemanja Matic (£4.5m) and Anthony Martial (£7.9m) replace Scott McTominay (£5.5m) and Daniel James (£6.0m) in the starting XI.

New signings Raphael Varane (£5.5m) and Jadon Sancho (£9.4m) are both named on the bench.

Ralph Hasenhüttl’s Southampton will be looking to bounce back from their opening-day loss at Everton, though they are without a win in 10 home league matches against The Red Devils.

New signing Adam Armstrong (£6.0m) leads the line, while £4.0m defender Tino Livramento gets another start at right-back ahead of Kyle Walker-Peters (£5.0m), who again has to settle for a place on the bench.

At Tottenham Hotspur, Nuno names an unchanged starting XI with Harry Kane (£12.4m) on the bench. That means another out-of-position start for Son Heung-min (£10.0m).

Of all the current Premier League sides that the South Korean international has played against, Wolves are the only team he hasn’t scored against. Could that be about to change?

Meanwhile, Bruno Lage takes charge of his first Wolves home game and makes just one change to his starting XI, with Nelson Semedo (£5.0m) replacing Ki-Jana Hoever (£4.0m).

    United love conceding away from home

      And at home 😉

    Congrats Salah captainers, you've outfoxed us Bruno captainers.
    You get the last laugh.

      As a Salah capper, I know it would be unwise to start celebrating now. A lot can happen in 45 mins, calm down

  3. Pukki Party

    Kane needs to come on here to keep the ball up for counter attacks.

    How's that Trincao looking?

    1. Licky
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Looks bright, very good on the ball, hasn't really effected the game as much as you'd like though.

      Classy, inventive, passive

    Southampton switch to 5 at the back Theo off for bednarek, or livramento is RW :O

  6. RogDog_jimmy

    Livramento up to right wing.
    Very happy he’s my 4.0 - looks rad.

    Pen?

    1. Meinhoff
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Nah

  8. TheTinman

    1. Pino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Probably

    2. Fish up a tree
      • 5 Years

  9. 3 A

  10. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …

    Greenwood’s got 15 minutes.

    1. Catastrophe
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Why on earth would Ole take him off?

      1. Egg noodle
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        There's this guy called Sancho

        1. Catastrophe
          • 15 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          If Ole has half a brain cell he'll take off the ineffective Martial and put Greenwood up top

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

    I want to see Sancho...

  12. Shark Team
    • 8 Years

    Bruno is the most crying player on the pitch definitely!

  13. Pino
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Pogba is uniteds most dangerous player

  14. Steve The Spud

    Pogba wagon stuck in the station

    NO REFUNDS

    1. Fish up a tree
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      To all the Pogba owners strap your knees together to prevent serious jerk disorder

    2. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Pogba wagon has maintenance and back running on schedule

  15. TheTinman
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Thats absolutely desperate from Utd asking for a pen from that hahahaha

  16. BenDavies
    • 13 Years

    Shaw looks overweight

    1. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      That you Jose?

    2. TheTinman
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      He always does. He has a strange body comp

      1. BenDavies
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        At a certain point that's no longer an excuse. He can't be carrying that much weight as a footballer.

          • 7 Years

      • 17 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      It will be worse for Southampton when Burnley play them!

      1. Duke Silver ☑
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        True. 😀

        Like the look of Cresswell could be a nice little pick for the next few.

  18. Pukki Party
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Spurs third kit inspired by your local bus companys seats from 2002.

    1. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      It’s horrific…

  19. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Get Martial off ASAP!

  20. Egg noodle
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    These scores are making me horny

    1. Lingard’s Shin Guards
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Um

  21. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Wtf is djenepo doing 😆

    Fred absolutely dominating him, justified YC

  22. Nomar
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Every time I cap Bruno it's a fail

    1. JBG
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Let us know next time you do.

      1. Nomar
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Never again!

    2. Egg noodle
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      They should just ban this entire concept of captaining

      1. Siva Mohan
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        or make 1.5x the VC score 😀

    3. Chalobah's Witness
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      It's 90 minutes not 50

  23. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Livramento even shooting now

    He’s a go for 4.0

    1. Lingard’s Shin Guards
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Sent it into row z

      1. Siva Mohan
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        time wasting tactics

    2. BobB
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Greenwood! Best value United pick by a mile

    3. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      He looks good. But he plays for Southampton.

    4. Bielsa's Bucket
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Yep. 4.0 and playing. All I need.
      Looks like a simple transfer Tsimikas escape route

  24. _Ninja_
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Greenwood goal

  25. 3 A
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Goal...

  26. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Greenwood essential

  27. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Greenwood G

  28. Khark
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Right now with triple united i'd take a Martial goal with fred assist, anything to derail this livramento train before i wildcard.

    1. Khark
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      None Pogba owner, that'll do.

  29. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Pogba A
    Greenwood G

    Simple as that
