The final two fixtures of Gameweek 14 take place this evening – Tottenham Hotspur v Brentford at 19.30 GMT, followed by Manchester United v Arsenal 45 minutes later.

Antonio Conte make two changes from the 2-1 win over Leeds United in Gameweek 12, with Davinson Sanchez (£4.5m) and Oliver Skipp (£4.5m) coming in for Japhet Tanganga (£4.3m) and Harry Winks (£4.4m), both of whom drop to the bench.

That means Harry Kane (£12.3m) – who has scored just one goal in 11 league appearances this season – leads the line, with Son Heung-min (£10.4m) and Lucas Moura (£6.4m) flanking him either side.

As for Brentford, they are unchanged from their 1-0 win over Everton on Sunday, with Sergi Canos (£5.5m), Christian Norgaard (£5.0m) and Rico Henry (£4.5m) all recovering from knocks to keep their place in the starting XI.

Thomas Frank’s side have lost just one of their six away matches this season, and will move into the top half of the table with a win tonight.

Elsewhere, Man Utd make three changes from their Gameweek 13 draw at Stamford Bridge, with Harry Maguire (£5.4m), Diogo Dalot (£4.4m) and Cristiano Ronaldo (£12.3m) replacing Eric Bailly (£4.9m), Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£5.2m) and Nemanja Matic (£4.5m).

At Arsenal, Gabriel Martinelli (£5.2m) starts in place of Bukayo Saka (£6.3m), who is a substitute, while Mohamed Elneny (£4.4m) comes in for Albert Sambi Lokonga (£4.8m).

    Why have I got Harry Kane. He looks so sluggish.

    1. Randaxus
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      He has been playing like a sloth for the entire season.

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        He's gone after Norwich.

  2. That Was Easy!

    Davies and Son owner, sick I came out of that with no points! Thought it was a Davies goal.

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

      Pain!

    2. HonestBlatter
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Horrible pain

  3. EDUARDO DA SILVA
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    If that was held as Son asist it would be corruption at FPL towers.

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

      Even Mark isn't that powerful!

  4. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    McAuley assist.

  5. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    What’s happened to Brentford playing too timid!

  6. Ze_Austin
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Doherty must be pretty underwhelming to have not gotten a chance at overtaking Emerson Royal by now

    I guess the Mura loss in the Conference League didn't help his case either, but that was more of a team loss, iirc

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

      Yeah he's been part of the Europa team who've been awful in all the games.

      Will get a chance over Xmas with rotation, has to take it!

  7. The Mandalorian
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Son assist been returned to the ocean.

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      ...via sailboats

  8. Sailboats
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    I'm not watching the match, but that's clearly a Son assist

    1. Zalk
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      It touched 3 guys before it went in, ofcourse it isn't.

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Whats 'it' refer to?

  9. Dammit_182
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    After not captaining Salah I needed a big score from Son. The FPL gods are cruel.

    1. Sailboats
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      you only have yourself to blame sir

      1. Dammit_182
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Aye. Cant blame benitez for that one!

    2. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Who'd you captain?

      I did Alonso, also have Son. I feel your pain.

      1. Dammit_182
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        I captained TAA and have son and Regi in tonight’s games. Some points to lessen the blow would be nice….

    3. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Just would of never of done that, you've gone against the best player in the form of his life, with a down and out dreadful Spurs team, the signs were there bud.

      1. Dammit_182
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Haha, i went Trent not Son. But still, was a daft move for that particular fixture.

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

    Guarantee if Son had a higher ownership the assist stands

    1. Mona Lisa
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      It's just the rules mate

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

        Wasn’t just the rules when it was Bruno…

        1. Mona Lisa
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          It's still the rule, whether they made a "mistake" in the past, it's still the rule

    2. DycheDycheBaby
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Sour grapes

    3. Duke Silver ☑
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Needs more cOntEnt cReaToR ownership

    4. Herger
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      He's hardly a differential. Look at all the people on here shouting for an assist depsite the fact that it was Pinball off Brentford defenders before one of them eventually stuck it in

    5. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      I feel sorry for Linn and her Ben Davies punt

  11. PartyTime
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Choupo Moting assist

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

      Too soon 🙁

  12. Feloh
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    I'm transferring in Son after this game. Can't let my nu*s hang this much not owning.

    1. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      seems to have the jets on

  13. df34
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Son owner , no assist is fair.
    However, FPL need to stop doing their own VAR on it. What I mean is don't give it and then take it away. I am afraid to celebrate any player return's now in case it is taken away. Take your time FPL and make the right decision, but do not give us fake news to celebrate and then take it away from us.

    1. david31058

    2. Zalk
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      agree

    3. @persecuted_by_mods
      4 years, 8 months ago

      More clicks outrage retweets and social media engagements if they do it this way

    4. That Was Easy!
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah, agreed. But that doesn’t mean we can’t complain a bit first.

    5. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      get it right.No Jammy Points

  14. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Mbeumo effort!

  15. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    What happened to son and Kane? They look so off the pace

    Kane dropping deep

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

      Missing Jose's attacking football?

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Son running around alot but very rarely taking shots or getting in threatening positions

      1. Sailboats
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        time to sell?

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

          Sell before Norwich yes

      2. Feloh
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        As a non-owner Son is way too threatening. What game are you watching?

    3. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      You say Kane dropping deep like it's a new thing

    4. ‘Tis the Season
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      conte realized he is better defensive midfielder

    5. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Kane just looks like a player in his mid 30s at times, especially without the ball. He was never blessed with pace but I think he has slowed down a bit in the last year so so

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

        He's clearly over 40 with a fake ID

  16. Ze_Austin
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    First 30 minutes: this hasn't been a great match

  17. PartyTime
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Commentator here saying “Mbumbu”

    1. Duke Silver ☑
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Still better than Mark and Az's pronunciation 😆

      1. PartyTime
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        😆

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Mboomo here

    3. EDUARDO DA SILVA
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Az with Mbomo

  18. Fish up a tree
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Spurs are so poor to watch & owning Kane is painful

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Yes,

      Kane 29 points 12.5

      Dennis 73 points 5m

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

        Not looked but I'd guess Kane's probably played more minutes too.

        1. g40steve
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Yes 🙂

  19. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Good idea from skipp there to cross to the smallest man on the pitch

  20. Espanyolie
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    As a Son owner, that was never an assist. However last week’s Jesus assist given to Gundo with that Fernandinho goal was a disgrace

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

      When Gundo got the last touch on the ball before Fernandinho scored?

      1. Espanyolie
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Call that a touch, the ball didn’t even change direction

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

          Doesn't have to.

          1. Espanyolie
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            Agree to disagree then, I would rather call that a step-over. The chance was created by Jesus.

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

              Very unlucky for Jesus owners but there was a clear touch.

              Opta will have heatmaps of touches too as they gave it to Gundo.

      2. BeaversWithAttitude
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        The ball didn't seem to deviate at all... doubt he touched it.

        1. Espanyolie
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          This

      3. The Ilfordian
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Rolled over his boot you mean

    2. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      This (fellow Son / Jesus owner)

  21. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Christ, Brentford are shite!

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah. Spurs aren't playing well, but are somehow playing much better than Brentford

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Very surprised by this

      Spurs are there for the taking. They are terrible almost all over the pitch

  22. Randaxus
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    If Kane keeps playing like this, he will never break any more records.

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Think City still will take the risk on signing him?

  23. EDUARDO DA SILVA
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Spurs need creative midfielder at winter, Kane can't play CMF.

    1. Randaxus
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Maybe a player list Eriksen, you know what I mean 😀

    2. Herger
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      They need a lot.

    3. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Eriksen is available tbf.

    4. Randaxus
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      like eriksen* they really need a player with his creative quality again.

  24. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Makes you think what are Spurs actually practicing in training

    1. Feloh
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Try being a Brentford fan

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Hehe, well at least Brentford have a go, Spurs are like a drowning Hippo

        1. ‘Tis the Season
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          not sure I understand the hippo analogy...hippos can swim ad stay underwater for hours...confused

  25. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Fernandez denies Son.

  26. Duke Silver ☑
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    😆 Hojberg trying to get the crowd going. You have to give them something to shout about first mate

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Doesn’t help when he’s constantly fouling players and stopping any momentum

  27. Randaxus
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    To be fair that was a top quality save from Fernandez

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Their only good player so far

  28. lilmessipran
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    For the first time under Conte seems like Spurs players are actually beginning to understand the formation and their individual roles in it. No more running around like headless chickens

  29. Duke Silver ☑
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    4th official getting hit by the ball while dozing off 😆

  30. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Bavies back to his best!
