Tottenham Hotspur v Manchester United gets Gameweek 11 underway at 12.30pm GMT.

Spurs are on a four-match winless league run on their own soil, while United’s only away victory of 2025/26 came, incongruously, at Liverpool.

The Lilywhites are on a seven-game unbeaten run against today’s opponents, the most recent encounter being the UEFA Europa League final in May.

TEAM NEWS

There are three changes apiece from their last outings, which in Spurs’ case was a UEFA Champions League tie against Copenhagen.

Thomas Frank brings in Richarlison, Joao Paulinha and Djed Spence, with Wilson Odobert, Destiny Udogie and Rodrigo Bentancur dropping to the bench.

There is no Mohammed Kudus in the hosts’ squad. Frank described him as “touch and go” on Friday.

As for United, Ruben Amorim’s three changes all involve defenders.

Harry Maguire, Noussair Mazraoui and Patrick Dorgu return, with Leny Yoro, Diogo Dalot and Benjamin Sesko making way.

It looks like Amad Diallo will move from right wing-back to an attacking midfield position alongside Bryan Mbeumo. Matheus Cunha appears set to lead the line.

LINE-UPS

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Vicario, Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Spence, Sarr, Paulinha, Johnson, Simons, Richarlison, Kolo Muani.

Subs: Kinsky, Danso, Tel, Odobert, Udogie, Bentancur, Scarlett, Akhamrich, Rowswell.

Manchester United XI: Lammens, De Ligt, Maguire, Shaw, Mazraoui, Casemiro, Bruno Fernandes, Dorgu, Amad, Mbeumo, Cunha.

Subs: Bayindir, Yoro, Dalot, Mount, Zirkzee, Sesko, Ugarte, Heaven, Fletcher.

    What a wondeful chap that Mr Mbuemo is.

      Great player and great human being. He was asked to describe himself in one word and he said "Kind".

      Love the guy. I want to play him at chess 😆

        Calm down, Moon Dog.

    I knew Mbeumo would hurt me here. Hope bruno gets something

  3. NABIL - FPL otai

    Nice one Mbeumo.

    Bruno next one

    Reverse Psychology works 😉

  5. Feanor

    Had Boomo captain for a while yesterday before chickening out back to Haaland

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      7 months, 27 days ago

      Ahh it was you!

      1. Feanor
        • 17 Years
        7 months, 27 days ago

        I was copying someone else, maybe they held their nerve

  6. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    7 months, 27 days ago

    VdV has made so many defensive mistakes recently.

    1. Feanor
      • 17 Years
      7 months, 27 days ago

      Move him to striker

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        7 months, 27 days ago

        Would make sense

  7. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    7 months, 27 days ago

    Someone on here was captaining Mbeumo, wondering if they went through with it...

    1. Feanor
      • 17 Years
      7 months, 27 days ago

      I didn’t

  8. nonaynever
    • 10 Years
    7 months, 27 days ago

    Realisation just hit.... my FH team has no Mbuemo....groan

  9. Nightcrawler
    • 7 Years
    7 months, 27 days ago

    mbuemo and xhaka are the best signings so far in terms of how much improvement they've caused in the team

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      7 months, 27 days ago

      Donnarumma

      1. Four Letter Wirtz
        • 10 Years
        7 months, 27 days ago

        Lammens, too!

  10. F4L
    • 11 Years
    7 months, 27 days ago

    4g 1a last 5 for mbeumo

    1. Moon Dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 1 Year
      7 months, 27 days ago

      Crazy stats. Some people have said he's too expensive, but when you compare his output to Saka he's a bargain.

  11. DeSelby
    • 3 Years
    7 months, 27 days ago

    I still don't understand why Mbuemo (and other players, including Romero) are allowed to wear bracelets when it is very plainly against the rules.

  12. mookie
    • 12 Years
    7 months, 27 days ago

    How easy Mbeumo made it for Amad by taking 2 steps back to put some distance between himself and the CBs.

  13. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    7 months, 27 days ago

    Richarlison is gash.

  14. Supersonic_
    • 4 Years
    7 months, 27 days ago

    Those with Bruno - you gonna just pivot to boomo?

    1. Supersonic_
      • 4 Years
      7 months, 27 days ago

      Was considering before this game

    2. keefy59
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 months, 27 days ago

      Tempted but
      He's going to be playing for Cameroon during the IB
      Plus he's going to AFCON after gw 15

  15. Athletic Nasherbo
    • 9 Years
    7 months, 27 days ago

    Removing Mbeumo for Semenyo 3 weeks ago, when not owing Semenyo since the start has proven to be a disaster. If only I held my nerve!

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      7 months, 27 days ago

      Yeah gotta have both!

      1. The Big Fella
        • 9 Years
        7 months, 27 days ago

        I am debating getting rid of Semenyo

        1. Bobby Digital
          • 8 Years
          7 months, 27 days ago

          Fixtures just about to turn, too late to get rid now.

        2. Josh.E
          • 4 Years
          7 months, 27 days ago

          he's a rank killer, I'd hold

  16. FOREST FOREVER 2
    • 1 Year
    7 months, 27 days ago

    Boomo and Guehi were my best picks in my GW 2 WC.

  17. F4L
    • 11 Years
    7 months, 27 days ago

    dont get a silly yellow bruno

  18. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 months, 27 days ago

    Bookies now implying c30% chance of Man Utd finishing top 4
    What a turnaround!

    1. mookie
      • 12 Years
      7 months, 27 days ago

      If they sign a CM with PL experience in January that will skyrocket. Martinez back soon as well.

    2. ‘Tis the Season
      • 7 Years
      7 months, 27 days ago

      Optimistic

  19. F4L
    • 11 Years
    7 months, 27 days ago

    united missing that run inbehind quite alot. mbeumo offers that on the right. amad on the right drops and shows for the ball

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      7 months, 27 days ago

      *hurts bruno as well, doesnt get use out of his passing range

    2. Moon Dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 1 Year
      7 months, 27 days ago

      I think Amad is dropping as per instruction. United usually build on the left and penetrate on the right but they've flipped it. They're building on the right, and Mbeumo is penetrating on the left. I think they just like the matchup better with Mbeumo v Porro/Romero rather than the mad pace Spurs have on their left.

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        7 months, 27 days ago

        fair, makes sense. i mean, ah just dont think this has been a good half for united despite the scoreline tbh. if spurs were to comeback second half and score a quickfire goal or 2 dont think you could say its come out the blue.

  20. Flynny
    • 11 Years
    7 months, 27 days ago

    Is mbeumo and bruno too much united from next week??

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 months, 27 days ago

      I am going for it, wish me luck

    2. Ask Yourself
      • 10 Years
      7 months, 27 days ago

      Not enough I reckon

    3. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      7 months, 27 days ago

      I have them both. The fixtures are good right up till 21.

      1. keefy59
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 months, 27 days ago

        Mbeumo at AFCON after gw15

        1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
          • 9 Years
          7 months, 27 days ago

          Yes. For people who have him and are considering Bruno.

        2. Old Man
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          7 months, 27 days ago

          Ah yes - forgot about tha! He plays for Cameroon doesn't he?

    4. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 months, 27 days ago

      Not sure about the timing but they must be a good consideration for over the busy December /Jan period. They have fewer fixtures than other big teams and potentially less rotation.

    5. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 months, 27 days ago

      Yes, I would want just Mbeumo and pair him with Semenyo. After that the likes of Rice, Caicedo, Xhaka and Ndiaye are all outperforming Bruno and are cheaper too.

      1. Flynny
        • 11 Years
        7 months, 27 days ago

        I have bruno and may get mbeumo

        Good point re afcon. But we get 5 fts!

        1. keefy59
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          7 months, 27 days ago

          Yes but Seymenyo also going to AFCON
          So 2 transfers to remove them & another two to bring them back .

          1. Ze_Austin
            • 7 Years
            7 months, 27 days ago

            Semenyo's national team didn't qualify for AFCON

          2. jacob1989
            • 4 Years
            7 months, 27 days ago

            Ghana didn't qualify

          3. Flynny
            • 11 Years
            7 months, 27 days ago

            Yeah and I have sarr too...

  21. Gazwaz80
    • 6 Years
    7 months, 27 days ago

    Spuds racking up the yellows…

  22. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years
    7 months, 27 days ago

    Stupid goal to give away it was unavoidable

    1. Kaneyonero
      • 9 Years
      7 months, 27 days ago

      Avoidable I mean lol

  23. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 months, 27 days ago

    Is that midfielder points I spy?!

  24. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    7 months, 27 days ago

    Mbeumo non owners? Your response?

    1. The Big Fella
      • 9 Years
      7 months, 27 days ago

      “Bruno has more paths to points”

  25. F4L
    • 11 Years
    7 months, 27 days ago

    iirc, still hasnt been one united goal where 2 of bruno, mbeumo and cunha are involved. seems abit crazy

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 months, 27 days ago

      Yeah that's kinda odd if so. It will come...

    2. Moon Dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 1 Year
      7 months, 27 days ago

      If only Bruno scored the pens...

  26. keefy59
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 months, 27 days ago

    Poor Frank Ilett (the Man Utd fan with the curly hair)
    This if it happens would have been the 5th win on the run but for the draw at Forest .

  27. FPL Sanky
    • 2 Years
    7 months, 27 days ago

    Why am I paying more for Bruno when I can have Boomo for 1m less

    1. Josh.E
      • 4 Years
      7 months, 27 days ago

      that 1m pays for a random pen, non owners know the risk

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 months, 27 days ago

        It's cuts both ways

        Penalty duties

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      7 months, 27 days ago

      Because you're a sheep... Baaaaa

    3. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      7 months, 27 days ago

      Have both like me

  28. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 months, 27 days ago

    Only Burnley have had fewer shots than Spurs in the Premier League...

  29. TKC07
    • 6 Years
    7 months, 27 days ago

    Some of the main players going for AFCON:

    Brentford Dango Ouattara Burkina Faso

      • 8 Years
      7 months, 27 days ago

      Bournemouth Seymenyo
      Imagine having a midfield of
      Seymenyo,Mbeumo,Sarr & Ndiaye !

      1. TKC07
        • 6 Years
        7 months, 27 days ago

        Semenyo is Ghana international and they didn't qualify. So Semenyo and Kudus are safe.

        1. keefy59
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
