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.

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years

    What best Richarlison replacement?

    1. Legendary!
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      None. Or Own Goal

  9. Twisted Saltergater
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Kane & Son to Pogba & Rashford with 2 FT's feels dirty.

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

    If Kane is injured, Alli becomes a great prospect

    1. EMBOLOFAN
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      true alli looked better today

      1. Here's Tom with the We…
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        I think he looked a great prospect today.

    Harry Kane in all sorts of trouble, can barely walk. Looks properly injured.

    3. sminkypinky
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Might be just a knock

  12. Chucky
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Kane to Rondon done

    1. Royal5
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Long here

  13. Numb
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Kane to Aguero (-4) here we come!

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

      Will be the most popular move this week no doubt.

    2. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Why for a hit? Aguero is cheaper so can do in 1 move

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

        Cos I’ve already done one transfer 😆

        1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Ahhh

    3. Pieterke30
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Why get rid of Kane before Fulham away?

      1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        There's Mayhem spreading that he could be injured after limping off at the end

  14. West Hammered
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    2 FT any suggestions? Obviously Son gotta go.

    Alisson
    Doherty TAA Digne
    Salah Son*** Hazard Pogba Deulofeu
    Aubameyang Jiminez
    Subs: Button, Bednarek, Kamara, AWB
    (1.2 ITB)

    1. EMBOLOFAN
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      son to alli/sane

    2. Here's Tom with the We…
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Son to Alli? Have you got enough for Son to Sane?

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

    Richarlison, Kane to Pogba, Aguero for -4?

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

      I’m gonna wait for news but Aguero is out for Kane if he is injured.

      Rich looked good on pitch, would look elsewhere for funds for Pogba

  16. SkeletONv01
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Kane Alonso > Kamara Holebas? Need to do it tonight, exact cash.

  17. LǝgleSs e|even

    5 years, 3 months ago

    "We still want you here at Utd" whispers OGS into Poch's ears at FT.

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

      why would he say that?

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

      If he was a horse, he'd be shot tonight.

      Might never play again.

  18. Chenku╰☆╮

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

      OGS days something to him Kane replies and suddenly ole literally helps him off the pitch. I’m concerned

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Really ??

    3. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years

    1. Syd.
      • 14 Years

  22. Cookie Kid
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years

  23. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 9 Years

    Guys, I'm fine OK. Just stubbed toe

  25. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 13 Years

    Llorente bandwagon

  26. SkeletONv01

    Our year, YNWAAAAA

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

    44 with just Ederson left 🙁
    so Like 46 I'm getting

  28. cheeky_ash
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Interesting if Kane is injured and with Son missing the next 3 games potentially with spurs fixtures picking up....will wait for news but....

    Cheeky punt for Llorente? Or Alli/Moura?

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

      no he doesnt trust Llorent at all, if Kane is out which I highly doubt. Alli will play as striker I suspect

    2. The Royal Robin
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I didn't know Kane was injured?

    So refreshing seeing this new Man United under OGS, gone are the days of Mourinho, Moyes & LVG of being pummeled for 90 minutes and relying on De Gea to bail them out 😉

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

      ... lets see them play a good team 1st 😛

      1. All For One
