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.

    imagine some players selling pogba because he was flagged.

      Crazy

      I did Pogba and Son to Salah and Camarasa and I’m happy for the decision. However if you sold him cause he was yellow flagged, you need to look elsewhere than FPL lol he trained out in Dubai with the rest of the squad.

      1. Jekori

        5 years, 3 months ago

        You still would make those moves in hindsight? I think pogba looks the most threatening again and he's part of the big hitters for me. Season keeper for his price.

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

          I needed Salah and I needed Son out.

          Pogba was the only reasonable enabler without having to take a -8.

          I may get Pogba back in soon though as I sell Alonso this week for TAA. This will enable Anderson to Pogba.

    Kane is playing as if he's started DDG in FPL and feeding him save pts!

    1. Limbo
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Right down the gunnel.

      Pogba doing same for Lloris.

  13. Forever In Our Shadow
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    So doing success and FAnderson to Puncheon and Rashford ? For free.

  14. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years

    Comeeeee oooonnn Pogba and Kane scooooreeee!!!!

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Pogba and Kane owner obviously.

      They are playing great, totally deserved to score

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

    Kane for captain against Fulham or just keep it on Salah for the next 4 games?

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Million Dollar question

    2. Zladan
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I own both and will go with Kane.

      Salah has a lot of penalties fluffing his stats up lately (not complaining) and now plays are defensively frustrating Palace.

      Kane has Fulham.

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

      That is a 50:50

    4. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Thinking Salah perma captain more or less

    5. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Still thinking Kane

  16. McSauce
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Decided to Save, should have done Son to Sane

    1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Decided to wait to do my -8 this week, for next week.

      Currently 13 points down on that, plus I’d have a FT for next week..

    1. Marvin Moon
      • 7 Years
