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.

        Nuno of course

        Him playing like s**t is his dirty protest.
        He’d be in double figures this season already if he’d got his City move

    2. JariL

      Are there any strikers to go for besides Antonio? Looking for a Ronaldo replacement.

      1. JONALDINHO

        352 is the way

        1. JariL
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Yep, I've played 352 all season with good success. But who to have next to Antonio? Punt on Jesus?

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

            I have Antonio and Toney right now. Still think Toney will come good with their fixtures. Jesus will be rotated with Mahrez when the fixtures pile up in a couple weeks so I’d stay clear

      2. thegaffer82
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Toney v Norwich (if you ignore today)?
        Jimi is ticking along and still has some decent fixtures coming up…

      Not sure this is all on Nuno.

      Kane just not interested, but he can’t be dropped.

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        He knows it too. From the time nuno came in he’s taken advantage of the situation. He knows the new manager can’t drop him and especially with the way it’s going. Nuno is desperate and Kane just doesn’t care

    5. Scots Gooner

      Ederson Royal is gash.

        Only cos I haven't been able to get shot of him. Lucky, lucky points.

        Yup. Planned go get rid for Lukaku at one point but no stand out replacements so just kept him

      Finally Ronny

      Nuno getting sacked now 🙂

    23. DycheDycheBaby

      Ole at the wheel! Stayingggg at the wheel...

    24. TheTinman
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Spurs are absolutely hopeless mind. Shockingly bad. I won't touch one of their assets again this season after I get Kane out of my team

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

      Nuno sacked before Ole?

    26. STEP rOVERS
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Loving the spurs capitulation

    27. Cruicky
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Don't care if the fixtures turn good, not a chance I'll be looking at Kane or Son here. Nuno looks completely the wrong fit, Kane looks disinterested realising Spurs will win nought. Man City should have taken that £120M and bid for Son instead really.

    28. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Woohoo

    29. dark91
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Only reason I still have CR7 is because Lukaku was injured. Looks like he will stay for a bit longer

      nice dink mate
