Rashford and Greenwood benched as Solskjaer opts for a wing-back system

Two sides in woeful defensive form meet at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this evening.

Spurs v Manchester United kicks off at 17:30 BST.

The Lilywhites and the Red Devils didn’t keep a clean sheet between them in the six Gameweeks preceding this one, each conceding 13 goals in the process.

Ole Gunner Solskjaer has responded to the thrashing by Liverpool by opting for a more defensive set-up, bringing in a third centre-half in the shape of Raphael Varane alongside Victor Lindelof and Harry Maguire.

Edinson Cavani is also recalled to the side, so United seem to be lining up in a 3-4-1-2 as both Marcus Rashford and Mason Greenwood have dropped to the bench.

Paul Pogba serves the first match of a three-game suspension after his sending off last week.

After naming an unchanged team for three matches in a row, Nuno Espirito Santo has made two alterations for the teatime visit of Solskjaer’s troops.

Ben Davies is in for Sergio Reguilon at left-back, while Giovani Lo Celso replaces Tanguy Ndombele in midfield.

GAMEWEEK 10 LINE-UPS

Man Utd XI: De Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Varane, Maguire, Shaw, McTominay, Fred, Bruno Fernandes, Ronaldo, Cavani.

Subs: Henderson, Bailly, Dalot, Matic, Van de Beek, Sancho, Lingard, Rashford, Greenwood.

Tottenham XI: Lloris, Emerson Royal, Romero, Dier, Davies, Hojbjerg, Skipp, Moura, Lo Celso, Son, Kane.

Subs: Gollini, Doherty, Reguilon, Sanchez, Rodon, Tanganga, Alli, Ndombele, Bergwijn.

    Just rage transferred Dias to James. Dias has scored me a total of 4pts in the 3 'easy' fixtures I got him in for. Useless pudding.

      Same here. Cost me 31 pts getting him over Chilly on WC

      I've got Laporte so he's gotta go but getting rid of city before this run is risky and we're gonna want them back in a few weeks I reckon

    Dias to Chilwell for free? Or save

    1. Don Van Vliet

      How's the rest of your squad holding up?

      1. JONALDINHO

        Ramsdale
        Trent • Cancelo • Dias
        Salah • Havertz • Foden • Raph • Mbeumo
        Antonio • Toney
        (Foster / Livramento / White / Davis)

        4.0 ITB to do Havertz -> Mane/Son for GW12.

        1. Don Van Vliet
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Could always do White to Chilwell instead, and hold Dias -- City will get a fair few cleanies between now and the new year (10 GWs).

          Should still have enough ITB to do Havertz to Son/Mane in GW12.

    Hi again. Just as we have FFS for live chats for fantasy, is there a forum for betters where one can get almost immediate feedback for burning questions?

  10. jackruet

    Is shaw even a footballer?

    1. Don Van Vliet

      Looks more like a slow-witted fireman.

    Just done my 1st -8
    Cancello to James
    White (Norwich) to Chillwell
    Jimenez to Tony - needed the money

    Could work out well as Tony has Norwich, Chelsea have Burnley, where as Cancello would have had a goal fest Utd Derby

    Well, i hope

      James will give more

        Heres hoping
        Feel bad done a -8, especially so soon
        But it coes to exact money, so had too

    What to watch - Man U/Spurs or UFC?

    Judging from the lack of comments, the football's pretty uneventful right now?

    Problem is you gonna want Cancelo in a few weeks but you've already done that. Chilly in for -4 not worth it imo and could wait. you'll need a clean sheet just to break even which is likely but not worth it imo

    Man Utd defence a shambles

    Greenwood so unlucky to be the scapegoat. No UTD attacker has been more effective.

    1. AC/DC AFC

      I bet he's fuming.

      Unless he gets something off the bench it will likely cause a different bad blood in the squad.

    2. bigwig
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Agreed, he'll likely come on for Cavani
