Two sides in woeful defensive form meet at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this evening.

Spurs v Manchester United kicks off at 17:30 BST.

The Lilywhites and the Red Devils didn’t keep a clean sheet between them in the six Gameweeks preceding this one, each conceding 13 goals in the process.

Ole Gunner Solskjaer has responded to the thrashing by Liverpool by opting for a more defensive set-up, bringing in a third centre-half in the shape of Raphael Varane alongside Victor Lindelof and Harry Maguire.

Edinson Cavani is also recalled to the side, so United seem to be lining up in a 3-4-1-2 as both Marcus Rashford and Mason Greenwood have dropped to the bench.

Paul Pogba serves the first match of a three-game suspension after his sending off last week.

After naming an unchanged team for three matches in a row, Nuno Espirito Santo has made two alterations for the teatime visit of Solskjaer’s troops.

Ben Davies is in for Sergio Reguilon at left-back, while Giovani Lo Celso replaces Tanguy Ndombele in midfield.

GAMEWEEK 10 LINE-UPS

Man Utd XI: De Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Varane, Maguire, Shaw, McTominay, Fred, Bruno Fernandes, Ronaldo, Cavani.

Subs: Henderson, Bailly, Dalot, Matic, Van de Beek, Sancho, Lingard, Rashford, Greenwood.

Tottenham XI: Lloris, Emerson Royal, Romero, Dier, Davies, Hojbjerg, Skipp, Moura, Lo Celso, Son, Kane.

Subs: Gollini, Doherty, Reguilon, Sanchez, Rodon, Tanganga, Alli, Ndombele, Bergwijn.

  3. _Ninja_

    CR7 goal ruled. out

  4. Fish up a tree
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Is it worth keeping Kane for the good run as he looks totally busted!

  5. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Wow...

  6. g40steve
    • 7 Years

  7. Thanos

  8. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    The lines aren't that thick, Ronnie...

  9. TheBiffas

    Anyone considering Maxwell cornet? Looks a proper baller.

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Spontaneous minutes are off-putting

      1. TheBiffas
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I reckon he's nailed now. 4 goals in 4 starts

    2. Chalobah's Witness
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      if only he was listed as a defender I'd go for him but imo there are many other options in midfield

  10. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Is Son doing anything?

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      If they score he'll be involved

    2. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      For some weird reason every shot he hits isn't going in this season.

    3. shiraz
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Son look dangerous and pretty attacking too

  11. Londongeezaa
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Levy really thought he was smart holding out for £150m

    Mid table finish followed by a cheeky £25m bid from City to top it off 🙂

  12. BobB

    Spurs are horrible to watch

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Still planning to get Son for their run from GW12 ->

  14. Chalobah's Witness

  16. Al
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    If you have any Spurs players in yout FPL. Delete your team right now. Nuno is AWFUL

    1. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Son scores his early sitter and people are ripping up their teams to get him in.

      1. Al
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Nah. Their chance creation is very low and better options out there

    2. Chalobah's Witness
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      nah I'll just get rid of my 1 Spurs player instead.

  17. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
    • 4 Years

    Would you captain Aubamayang over Salah next GW if you had him?

    1. Chalobah's Witness
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      no, a 2:2 makes us hungry as hell and we'll completely destroy West Ham

  18. Rainer

    El Sackico heating up..

    Nuno ball no liked by 50k Spurs fans # you don’t know what you are doing 🙂

  22. thegaffer82
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Lo Celso shocking.
    That through ball is bread & butter for an attacking MFer

  23. Miniboss
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    What should I do with Son?

    A) Keep
    B) Sell for Foden

  24. JariL

    Massive boos from Spurs fans to Nuno for taking off Lucas.

  25. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years

    Spurs fans turning on nuno

    1. Al
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      must be the smell of him....

      1. Deulofail
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Nuno Espirito Stanko

  26. Digital-Real
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Looks like Spurs players have downed tools.
    This will end 0-3 and the end for Nuno.

  27. WVA
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    How many offside goals will Ronaldo score while I own him?

    1. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Don’t be greedy… you got a goal which is more than any member of my team this week

    2. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Reminds me of Watkins last season

  28. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Would hate to have Nuno as the manager of my club

  29. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    I know what it is, they REALLY miss Bale

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      You need a Spurs intervention.

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Having that 3rd man in Bale allowed more space for Kane and Son, it’s the reason. I’m convinced

    2. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Don’t believe for a minute it’s Nuno, every manager will play to their team’s strengths, which for Spurs is obviously Kane and Son

      1. JONALDINHO
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Nuno would be a good manager for a team like Everton / West Ham / Wolves who can afford to sit back and counter but that doesn’t work if you want to get into UCL these days. You need to be able to press and control games. Spurs can’t do that and it’s down to Nuno’s tactics and mindset

        1. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          But why would any manager adopt those techniques?
          Not to mention if you have 2 of the best attacking players in the league

  30. ClassiX
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Skysports: "Much like the game at West Ham, this game is just bypassing Kane and he doesn't seem overly bothered of his lack of influence. He's had the fewest touches of any Spurs player and he's yet to have a shot or make a key pass. This isn't the same Kane."

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Must be carrying an injury

    2. @persecuted_by_mods
        4 years, 1 month ago

        People keep blaming kane but Nuno ball is in full effect, Jimenez looked damn emaciated at times

        1. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          But why would Nuno not play to his team’s strengths?

      • ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I remember them saying Kane was a model profession after he went on strike
