Gameweek 25 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) continues with Manchester United v Tottenham Hotspur.

Kick-off is at 12.30pm GMT.

TEAM NEWS

Michael Carrick opts for an unchanged line-up as United seek a fourth league win on the bounce under his stewarship.

It means that Benjamin Sesko again has to settle for a place on the bench, despite grabbing the winner against Fulham last weekend.

Thomas Frank makes three changes to his Spurs side.

Micky van de Ven is back from injury, so Radu Dragusin drops to the bench. The Dutchman and Cristian Romero, who had been suffering from illness, were both passed fit by Thomas Frank yesterday.

Wilson Odobert and Pape Matar Sarr are also recalled after impressing off the bench against Manchester City. Yves Bissouma and Randal Kolo Muani make way.

Despite Frank saying that Djed Spence had a “good chance” of featuring, he misses out.

LINE-UPS

Manchester United XI: Lammens, Dalot, Maguire, Martinez, Shaw, Casemiro, Mainoo, Amad, Bruno Fernandes, Cunha, Mbeumo.

Subs: Bayindir, Mazraoui, Zirkzee, Malacia, Yoro, Ugarte, Heaven, Sesko, T Fletcher.

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Vicario, João Palhinha, Romero, Van de Ven, Gray, Gallagher, Sarr, Udogie, Odobert, Simons, Solanke.

Subs: Kinsky, Dragusin, Bissouma, Tel, Kolo Muani, Souza, Olusesi, Byfield, Williams-Barnett.

      The game was in the balance when it was 11 v 11.

      Judge him with a full squad and a Summer preseason.

          Mid June, but what’s the rush to write him off? He understands the squad better plus Spurs have a crazy injury list.

      Didn’t personally think it was that easy a decision. A penalty taking striker for a decent attacking team or a winger playing for the worst team in the league, not 100% nailed, with 2 games.

        Most likely outcome is 4-2 but Mane is prolly more likely to get something vs Nfo than Thiago against the best defence in the league.
