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.

    Ok, DDG you've proved your point. Now let Kane score

  22. Grounderz
    • 12 Years

    Simply unreal, another save by De Gea from Kane.

  23. Limbo

    Game of his life.

  25. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus

    Kane would have had a haul today easily but for DDG

    Goals AND assists

      Telling you - it is the grass. Wembley uses a tougher grass than other pitches because it has to survive NFL and Challenge Cup final. It is slowing the ball up for Spurs. Spurs need to cut the grass shorter IMO

        Yeah that will be it.

    DDG really wants to pass Salah out this GW for CS points 🙂

    On another day it could’ve been

    Spurs 9 - 2 United

    Talk about daylight robbery

    Ddg has been drugged.

  29. Limbo

    Quite sure DDG has made a pact with the Prince of Darkness (and I don't mean Ozzy).
