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.

    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.

    I brought in Vardy and Son last week.

    Hate them both already.

  6. Bushwhacker

    Both these teams are painful to watch.

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

  9. Duke Silver ☑

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

  10. DMP
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    Very Rough!!!

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

  11. dark91

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

  12. C'mon the Fylde
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

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

    It feels kneejerk to bring back Ronaldo.

  13. Gunners in Haaland
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    Not worth keeping Kane, right?

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      4 years, 9 months ago

      New manager bounce and good fixtures around the corner

      1. Gunners in Haaland
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        Cheers

      2. The Philosopher
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

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

      3. Wetdream
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        I might bench him next week !

    2. Fish up a tree
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 9 months 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, 9 months ago

        Yes, thinking the same mate. Cheers

    3. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Sold him for a hit

  14. The Philosopher
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 9 months 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
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

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

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
        4 years, 9 months 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

  15. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

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

  16. thepancakeman123
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 9 months 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

  17. Shark Team

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

  18. Wetdream
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

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

    1. beric
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Son always looks nifty though

    2. Fish up a tree
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 9 months 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

  19. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    McTominay has been class.

  20. WVA
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 9 months 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
      • 17 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Relentless bad luck.

      1. WVA
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 9 months 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. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Or Benrahma matches or outscores him.

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

      1. WVA
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        Not a chance in hell

  21. Nomar
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    Didn’t realise Spurs were this poor.

  22. lilmessipran
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

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

  23. Kryptonite666
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 9 months 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
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

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

  24. ilikewud
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

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

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Slim

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      5%

    3. Wetdream
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Hope so I have ESR waiting to come on.

  25. Duke Silver ☑
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

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

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Same

    2. Bushwhacker
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Not a good fixture for anyone

  26. Londongeezaa
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

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

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      They aren't much better.

    2. BoleynWin
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

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

  27. Shultan
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

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

  28. Isca Extremadura
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

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

    1. Nomar
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

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

  29. PartyTime
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    Great result for Ole

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Always gets the luck when he needs it.

  30. 1984 TC
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

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