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.

    Would love to know whether Spurs fans think Kane is actually trying.

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      He's in double digits for club and country.

  17. FPL Scoop

    Elite finishing

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

      Wut? Any striker should put that in. Bread and butter connect.

  19. Rainer
    • 9 Years

    Pass, movement, finish - perfection!

  20. Dannyb
    • 8 Years

  21. REDMOND IN SANDALS
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Did Ronaldo+jota>>Vardy+Mbuemo for -4 last week. Sigh

  22. Esalman
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Transferred out Ronaldo against popular opinion and he scores. Not that disappointing, but Son blank would be given how high Manu defense are playing.

  23. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Ronaldo a proper differential this week too!

  24. Shultan
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Fellow owners the only reason we still have Ronaldo is because had too many other fires to put out

    1. moment

      +1

  25. GROBARI
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    I know this will not happen,but Nuno needs to be sacked very soon. Spurs are just bad this year

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

      As someone said bunch of average players half of whom don’t want to be at the club.

    2. ManofKent
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Perhaps Utd and Spurs should swap managers for a month 🙂

  26. Ginkapo FPL
    • 14 Years

    The van gaal formation relying on RVP and Robben to score

  27. moment

    Haha never thought a Ronaldo goal would be a massive differential. Never quite managed to get rid of him from my team…

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

      Same, unexpected injuries & non starters like alonso which means still have him
