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).

    Kane has been absolutely awful

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

      Definitely not what I wanted to read as a Kane (c)

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

        Going deep but can hardly pass it.

        Fewest touches on the pitch from an outfield player too

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

      Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think
      Enjoy yourself, while you're still in the pink
      The years go by, as quickly as a wink
      Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself, it's later than you think

    3. grumpyman
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Really disappointing. Not involved at all.

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

        So same old then hehe

  2. Eleven Hag
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Experts said Kane stays in the box under Conte

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

      He'd end up being offside a lot

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

      Conte is telling him to stay in the box, that doesn't mean that he is listening to him.

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

      Not according to heat map.

      Least touches of anyone on pitch including both keepers 🙂

    4. Herger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I'm an expert and never said that

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

      Don’t Think he feels like an Expert anymore after these Conte weeks

    6. @persecuted_by_mods
        4 years, 4 months ago

        That's the ideal, he doesn't have the personnel to make that happen

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

      Toney is really learning a lot from Kane here

      Equally deep. They might tackle each other in midfield soon

      1. Noisy Neighbour
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Toney is a very underrated CDM.

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

      Yes, I was very wrong hoping Conte would get Kane back on track, big mistake to bring into my team

      1. The Reptile
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        I know what a joke he is and I had Dennis 9 points on the bench

    9. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Bonus point system needs improving. Son should have gotten something/more from that "assist". That was more than some fantasy assists.

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

        -BPS unsuccessful cross 😉

    10. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Spurs should sell Kane and try to by Pukki.

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

        Just sell him and put a statue up front. Same impact

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

          😆

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

        norwich have a better chance of silverware..

      3. Feloh
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Buy.

      4. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        I am still proud of my comment here over two years ago: "I upgraded Kane to Pukki". Pukki scored hattie after that, it was gw2 (and I wanted also Sterling, but "forgot" to mention that).

        1. Baps Hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          For Kane owners same move might be worth considering these days to get funds to midfield, for Sancho perhaps.

    11. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Spurs wingbacks are not creators. It's annoying

      They aren't good enough to be your chief creators

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

        Yep. Really poor crossers too as we just saw

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

        Regi getting really nicely forward a lot but fluffing everything when he gets the ball

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

      Kane the creator to Reguilon who has to find Son in the middle...

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

      Mbeumo 😆

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

      Spurs on the break five players in the box & no Kane 🙂

    15. Flynny
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Kane turning into a huge disappointment for owners

      Looking forward to massively downgrade after Norwich

      Might get a fodder and raise 8m for midfield!

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

        Shhh Dennis

      2. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Vardy has Newcastle, luakaku Leeds and Ronaldo Norwich so easy switches imo

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

          I can do kane raph and normann to watkins bilva and sancho if I want for a hit next week....

      3. Fish up a tree
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Can’t wait to get rid of him

      4. Yes Ndidi
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        What are you seeing tonight that makes you think he can manage anything against Norwich?
        Kane'21 found his level over the IB, and seems quite happy with it.

    16. LiamK17
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Got the exact same money to do Saka + Jiminez —> Bernardo + Wilson for free

      Yay or nay?

    17. simong1
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      If Son blanks tonight would you do Son & Bissouma > Sancho & Bilva for free? Or give Son one last chance against Norwich?

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        One last chance

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

        Just a question. If the earlier assist was given would you have decided against selling him?

        1. Baps Hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Good question! But same applies perhaps also to Antonio's offside goal.

      3. Pompel
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Giving him Norwich for sure

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

      Mbeumo is a special player!

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

        Special olympics special?

    19. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Even if he scores here...

      Sell Mbeumo

      1. Pompel
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Sold yesterday - finally. One of my worst buys this season, among fierce competition

    20. cruzex
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Why won't bissaka play tonight?

      1. Bees4Lyf
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Hand injury

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

      65 corners from spurs and no goal. Maybe a sign to take son off corners

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

        They think they have any decent set piece specialists.

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

          *don't

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

        Delivery isn’t the issue, it comes down to no one fancying it in that team. Can’t be bothered to run, can’t be bothered to press, certainly won’t be throwing their bodies to inswinging corners, rotten to the core and that’s me being polite.

      3. BIG TONES
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Crosses have looked dangerous in this game tbf. Maybe it's the players attacking the ball at fault?

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

        Hodgeson knew what he was doing!

    22. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Bet Kane's put himself as 3rd sub in his fantasy football team

      1. el polako
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Bet he's got 3 x City players and sneaky plan to have 4 after January transfer window.

      2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Smarter than the rest of us suckers

    23. DAZZ
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Mbuemo / Kane who’s the more useless?

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

        At least Mbeumo doesn't cost 12mill

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

      Mbuemo = useless.

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

        You rate him that highly?

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

      He call Tomi Japanese he is Korean what an idiot lol

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

        wtf I am wrong lol I thought he was Korean for some reason oww I remember I am thinking about Hwang my mistake

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

          😆 I love this post

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

            Quite ironic that I called him stupid, when it was me being stupid, I had a real brain fart.

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

            I think this might be the stupidest thing I have ever said lol

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

        You sure?

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

          Yes I am the stupid one, I was mixing up the nationalities of Hwang and Tomiyasu.

    26. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I hate Kane.

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        I love Kane! People have downgraded 2-3 players to get him and Pukki, Toney and Dennis get more points 🙂

    27. gooberman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Just watched the 1st half of the Spurs game. What a poor, poor game. Just no quality anywhere on the pitch. 2 woeful teams.

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

        Utterly dreadful, Brentford look Championship level & Spurs are equally as bad.

        They were in a champions league final not long ago….

      2. Ze_Austin
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        The own goal came from failure to clear a set piece

        After the goal, the same error was repeated twice or thrice

        It's almost comical

    28. The Reptile
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Easily Kane - Mbuemo works hard and sses a lot of the ball but his finishing is poor

      1. gooberman
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Mbuemo looks a shocking player. Embarrassing actually.

        1. The Reptile
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          He's another git I invested in - gone now thank God

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

      Prime playing up after swapping to United game?

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

        & were up & running

    30. The Reptile
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      What the Heck has happened to Kane??
      I feel so stupid buying him

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

      Ramsdale save #1

    32. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Party sausages and a pack of cheese and onion squares is a great combo

    33. Lord of Ings
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Looking forward to upgrading Kane to Dennis in gameweek 16..

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Copycat 😉

    34. DAZZ
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      So obviously i’ll give Kane Norwich but will sell afterwards. Lukaku, Ronaldo both good potential replacements, who’s best ideally?

      1. jack88
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Ronaldo

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

        Neither to be honest. If you want a 2nd premium I’d go Mane

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

          Own Jota TAA Salah. Mane is a non option for me unfortunately

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

        Downgrade to free up cash.

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

        May I interest you in a lad named Benteke?

      5. el polako
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Only premium you need is Salah at the moment, why not use money to have a strong squad, play fixtures and buy good players for short term ?

      6. Scholes Out For Summer
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        i might just get rid, Norwich defence has been good since Smith came

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

          I might get a fodder and plough the 8m into the midfield.....or watkins

          1. Scholes Out For Summer
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            get Watkins, still plough 8M into midfield for Mbeumo

      7. Mr. O'Connell
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Ronaldo not worth 6m atm
