No shocks from the team news at Wembley as Pogba starts

Tottenham Hotspur take on Manchester United in the second of two Premier League matches to be contested on Sunday. Kick-off at Wembley is at 16:30 GMT.

Both sides have made two changes to their starting XIs from Gameweek 21.

Ben Davies and the fit-again Jan Vertonghen replace Danny Rose and Davinson Sanchez for the hosts, while Ole Gunnar Solskjaer recalls Jesse Lingard and Ashley Young in place of Juan Mata and Antonio Valencia.

Paul Pogba, as expected, is fit to start after recovering from the knock he picked up in the victory over Newcastle United.

Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial join Lingard in a front three for the Red Devils, who name the same team that lined up against Cardiff City in Solskjaer’s very first match in charge.

Romelu Lukaku is among the substitutes but Alexis Sanchez misses out through injury.

Son Heung-min starts for Spurs for the final time before he departs for the Asian Cup.

Dele Alli, Christian Eriksen and Harry Kane also line up for the Lilywhites in what appears to be a familiar-looking 4-4-2 diamond.

Lucas Moura misses out with a knee injury.

Spurs won this reverse fixture 3-0 back in August, with Kane registering a double-digit haul.

Kane has delivered an attacking return in each of his last ten Premier League starts, while Son has done likewise over his last eight starts.

Almost half of Pogba’s FPL points in 2018/19 (49 out of 100) have come in the last four Gameweeks, meanwhile.

Spurs XI (4-4-2 diamond): Lloris, Trippier, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Davies, Winks, Sissoko, Eriksen, Dele, Son, Kane.

Manchester United XI (4-3-3): De Gea, Young, Jones, Lindelof, Shaw, Matic, Herrera, Pogba, Lingard, Martial, Rashford.

    Son + Kamara to

    A) Rashford + Puncheon
    B) Rashford + Camarasa
    C) Rashford + Nasri

    ??

    1. BIG TONES
      • 9 Years

      Give C a go.

    2. Bram
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      5 years, 3 months ago

      B if Camarasa generally benched, C if the mid plays every/most weeks.

    3. Dreaming of glory

    Anyone else thinking Lindelof is worth a punt? Thinking of upgrading my 3rd defender to him. I know they haven't kept many CS but last 5 games 3 times they conceded only once, now 1.5 match without conceding.

    Teddy ! What a classy lad!

  4. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Fabianski
    TAA / Digne / Doherty / Robertson
    Salah / Pogba / Martial / Hazard
    Kane / Arnautovic

    Hamer // Ings / Camarasa / AWB

    So, how best to get in Rashford? Arnie & Martial > Rashford & [7.1m]?

    Obviously Richarlison would fit in that spot, but he's not been performing.
    Who could be an alternative?

    1. MrZ
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      You can't do straight swap?

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Nope, unfortunately not.

    2. MrZ
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Ings to barnes?

  5. Slippy
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Kamara & FAnderson -> Hudson Odoi & Rashford?

    One bench fodder for another to afford the move basically.

  6. Swagat

    Is camarasa injured?

    1. The Big Fella
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Possibly. Came off early. I think he will be alright for next week.

  7. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    What a shame about Sissoko's injury. Robs us of a good game and will probably make the title race a lot less interesting.

    Kane to Rashford for free?

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      No. Find another way.

    2. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      No

  9. Syd.

    Do you remember when Deli Alli use to do good things on a football pitch

    1. elchilangles
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      nope

    2. Marvin Moon
      • 7 Years

      You mean like those funny handshakes?

    3. HamezMace
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Like that lovely chipped goal against Chelsea a week ago?

    4. Jekori
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      tbf he played a lot deeper recently due to injuries. This game he's more up front again, teed up kane already twice (offside goal and save ddg) and almost scored himself

  10. Alli 3',17',64�…
    • 5 Years

    How are Kane and Son looking? In the library working so can't watch it. My brother says Berbatov has had a transplant. They're all at, it seems!

    1. YEAH PITCH!
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Both quite so so. Tempo needs to pick up.

    Kane needs to step up, off the pace so far

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Spurs need to make Kane their main man for these types of matches. Forget the dropping deep stuff. This isn't Cardiff.

  14. DR0GBA

    Where to improve this team with 2FTs?

    Fabianski (4m)
    Digne Luiz Kolasinac Diop (AWB)
    Hazard Salah Pogba Richarlison Anderson
    Kane (Ings Kamara)
    (got £0.6m itb)

    A) Get Liverpool defenders in
    B) Get City cover
    C) Upgrade Ings
    D) Anything else?

    1. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years

  15. OldBenKenobi
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Is it odd I want rid of Digne for Robertson still so I can double up with TAA?

    1. Dreaming of glory
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Not really bit digne > taa would be a tough choice now.
      Robbo hovers up bonus so hes worth it.

    Hamer Kiko Gunnarson Hojbjerg

    Complete turnaround by Utd
    Wouldn't have imagined that I'd be sitting here regretting benching Shaw!

    1. Rash
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      We won't keep a clean sheet here

  30. Obi Wan Elokobi
    • 12 Years

    Thoughts on this -4.

    Felipe, Hazard, Kamara to Rash, Sterling, Punch
