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.

    De Gea stealing the BAPs from Rashford !

  7. Piggs Boson
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Two best keepers in the world playing?

    1. Alli 3',17',64�…
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      nah, neither have good form

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Lloris was incredible at the World Cup.

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

      At Wembley?

    3. Marvin Moon
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      One definitely.

    4. 1zverGGadeM
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Maybe when Pool meets Atletico Madrid in Quarters..

    5. Arteta
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Lloris? Really?

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Best keeper at the World Cup, closely followed by Courtois.

      2. Arteta
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        He really was but at the moment my top 5 are Oblak, ter Stegen, Alisson, Ederson and de Gea.

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

      Not even close

    7. ChelseaGuy

      Allison & Neuer says hi

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

      He's been training against Ole...must have sharpened him up

    9. Bring the Cavalry
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Lloris is the most over rated goalkeeper in the world

    10. fedolefan
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      OMG, Lloris in the best keeper discussion? Is this for real?

    11. Bram
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      DDG is up there (although today it's all been straight at him) - Lloris no.

  8. Win'dian
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Spurs look threatening but can't see them score 3 from here

  9. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Maybe Kane Billing to Salah fodder.... for free. Means keeping both Auba and Hazard. Offputting thing is Kane’s nice fixtures.

      Big hitter roulette.

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years

  27. LǝgleSs e|even
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    OGS probably has something to prove in this match with all those Poch to Utd talk. If Utd win today, and he keeps it up Ed and the Glazers will start scratching their heads.

  28. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  29. Jekori
    • 9 Years

    Luiz > TAA
    Hazard > Salah
    Auba > Rashford
