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.

  2. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years

    What on earth was that from Kane, he was through!

    Everyone including fake United supporter Andy over at LTFP: Ronaldo sucks, too old, get rid immediately.
    Ronaldo: Hold my 5 Ballon D'Ors.

      Not gonna play a Spurs team this bad every week.

    I brought in Vardy and Son last week.

    Hate them both already.

  5. JoeSoap

    Like a lot on here sold Ronaldo>Lukaku>Vardy & Ronaldo outscores both lol

  6. Bushwhacker
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Both these teams are painful to watch.

  7. lilmessipran
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Painful to own a 12m asset that is playing this way...what was I thinking

  8. Duke Silver ☑
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    McTominay, Fred and Matic. Name me a more exciting midfield 😆

  9. DMP
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Very Rough!!!

    Sold Ronaldo as part of an -8 to Toney, Mount and Trent. LOL

  10. dark91
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    You can tell that Spurs are no threat at all when Ole can sub both Cristiano and Bruno before '75

  11. C'mon the Fylde
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    I was going to switch Vardy to Kane, but Spurs look crap.

    It feels kneejerk to bring back Ronaldo.

  12. Gunners in Haaland
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Not worth keeping Kane, right?

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
        4 years, 1 month ago

        New manager bounce and good fixtures around the corner

        1. Gunners in Haaland
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Cheers

        2. Philosopher's Stones
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Don't think Levy sacks Nuno unless they're down in a relegation scrap or sth imo

        3. Wetdream
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          I might bench him next week !

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

        Spurs are shite & don’t even look like scoring

        I am going Auba then back to Lukaku possibly later.

        Kane is a busted flush

        1. Gunners in Haaland
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Yes, thinking the same mate. Cheers

      • Gazza2000
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Sold him for a hit

    2. Philosopher's Stones
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I know Nuno's set-up isn't helping either, but absolutely poor from a player of Kane's quality trying to force a move like this by not bothering to turn up anymore.

      1. Wetdream
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        They all look poor to be fair,even Son.Think Nuno is out of his depth.

        1. @persecuted_by_mods
            4 years, 1 month ago

            This, people pick on kane what has son done today? Did moura drop a 10/10 I missed? Lo celso was invisible

            Granted kane has been worse than them all season but I blame the system over world class striker is suddenly bad overnight and can't be bothered

      2. Paqueta Rice
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Now that’s a strange sub with Fred on a yellow and dangerously close to getting a red

      3. thepancakeman123
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        If (and it's a big if) my team are all fit, is this worth a bench boost next week? I have enough funds to get a second keeper in.

        Sanchez - Steele
        Trent - Azpilicueta - Rudiger - Duffy - Livramento
        Salah - Havertz - Raphinha - Sarr - Gallagher
        Ronaldo - Toney - Broja

      4. Shark Team
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Spurs dont score but also they dont create chances, they have huge attacking problems

      5. Wetdream
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Spurs are awful,clueless no creativity,half hearted.I own Kane and am thinking of shipping him despite Spurs good run.

        1. beric
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Son always looks nifty though

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

          No easy games tbh & this Spurs team will struggle against all those teams bar maybe Norwich if you want to hold him till then

      6. Piggs Boson
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        McTominay has been class.

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

        Benrahma better not play tomorrow, I deserve some luck and getting Gallagher from first on my bench is well deserved

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Relentless bad luck.

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

            I mean Gallagher hauling away at City in the only game I've ever benched him in and then not getting him from first on my bench is horrendous.

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

          Or Benrahma matches or outscores him.

          I sold Benrahma this week so I wouldn’t be surprised

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

            Not a chance in hell

      8. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Didn’t realise Spurs were this poor.

      9. lilmessipran
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Can Spurs get a jammy penalty or something? Only way I might get soem Kane points

      10. Kryptonite666
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Which one is a priority transfer ?

        A. Gray to ESR, play ESR and bench Cancelo next week

        B. Rudiger to James

        C. Anything else

        Sanchez
        TAA Cancelo Chilwell Rudiger (Livramento)
        Salah Son Foden Mbeumo (Gray)
        Vardy Toney (Perica)

        1. C'mon the Fylde
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Far too early to be thinking about gw11.
          Ask this during the week.

      11. ilikewud
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Gallagher first on my bench. What are the chances that Raph misses out?

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

          Slim

        2. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          5%

        3. Wetdream
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Hope so I have ESR waiting to come on.

      12. Duke Silver ☑
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I actually thought this would be a good fixture for Kane and Spurs.

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

          Same

        2. Bushwhacker
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Not a good fixture for anyone

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

        Nuno needs to raid his former club in the January transfer window.

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          They aren't much better.

        2. BoleynWin
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          I can’t see any Wolves player opting to move to Spurs in the current climate, which is saying something.

      14. Shultan
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Whenever a player wants to leave a club he should be let go
        Kane just not bothered

      15. Isca Extremadura
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Nuno eliminating Son / Kane attacking threat
        with his tactics, having 2nd thoughts about buying Son now

        1. Nomar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Bought Son for this fixture. Used Ronaldo to free up the funds!

      16. PartyTime
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Great result for Ole

        1. Bushwhacker
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Always gets the luck when he needs it.

      17. 1984 TC
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Maybe Spurs can borrow that Sancho lad for a couple of games.
