The final two fixtures of Gameweek 14 take place this evening – Tottenham Hotspur v Brentford at 19.30 GMT, followed by Manchester United v Arsenal 45 minutes later.

Antonio Conte make two changes from the 2-1 win over Leeds United in Gameweek 12, with Davinson Sanchez (£4.5m) and Oliver Skipp (£4.5m) coming in for Japhet Tanganga (£4.3m) and Harry Winks (£4.4m), both of whom drop to the bench.

That means Harry Kane (£12.3m) – who has scored just one goal in 11 league appearances this season – leads the line, with Son Heung-min (£10.4m) and Lucas Moura (£6.4m) flanking him either side.

As for Brentford, they are unchanged from their 1-0 win over Everton on Sunday, with Sergi Canos (£5.5m), Christian Norgaard (£5.0m) and Rico Henry (£4.5m) all recovering from knocks to keep their place in the starting XI.

Thomas Frank’s side have lost just one of their six away matches this season, and will move into the top half of the table with a win tonight.

Elsewhere, Man Utd make three changes from their Gameweek 13 draw at Stamford Bridge, with Harry Maguire (£5.4m), Diogo Dalot (£4.4m) and Cristiano Ronaldo (£12.3m) replacing Eric Bailly (£4.9m), Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£5.2m) and Nemanja Matic (£4.5m).

At Arsenal, Gabriel Martinelli (£5.2m) starts in place of Bukayo Saka (£6.3m), who is a substitute, while Mohamed Elneny (£4.4m) comes in for Albert Sambi Lokonga (£4.8m).

  1. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 16 days ago

    Why have I got Harry Kane. He looks so sluggish.

    1. Randaxus
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      He has been playing like a sloth for the entire season.

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 16 days ago

        He's gone after Norwich.

  2. That Was Easy!
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 16 days ago

    Davies and Son owner, sick I came out of that with no points! Thought it was a Davies goal.

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      Pain!

    2. HonestBlatter
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      Horrible pain

  3. EDUARDO DA SILVA
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 16 days ago

    If that was held as Son asist it would be corruption at FPL towers.

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      Even Mark isn't that powerful!

  4. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 16 days ago

    McAuley assist.

  5. g40steve
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 16 days ago

    What’s happened to Brentford playing too timid!

  6. Ze_Austin
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 16 days ago

    Doherty must be pretty underwhelming to have not gotten a chance at overtaking Emerson Royal by now

    I guess the Mura loss in the Conference League didn't help his case either, but that was more of a team loss, iirc

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      Yeah he's been part of the Europa team who've been awful in all the games.

      Will get a chance over Xmas with rotation, has to take it!

  7. The Mandalorian
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 16 days ago

    Son assist been returned to the ocean.

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      ...via sailboats

  8. Sailboats
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 16 days ago

    I'm not watching the match, but that's clearly a Son assist

    1. Zalk
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      It touched 3 guys before it went in, ofcourse it isn't.

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 16 days ago

        Whats 'it' refer to?

  9. Dammit_182
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 16 days ago

    After not captaining Salah I needed a big score from Son. The FPL gods are cruel.

    1. Sailboats
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      you only have yourself to blame sir

      1. Dammit_182
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 16 days ago

        Aye. Cant blame benitez for that one!

    2. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      Who'd you captain?

      I did Alonso, also have Son. I feel your pain.

      1. Dammit_182
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 16 days ago

        I captained TAA and have son and Regi in tonight’s games. Some points to lessen the blow would be nice….

    3. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      Just would of never of done that, you've gone against the best player in the form of his life, with a down and out dreadful Spurs team, the signs were there bud.

      1. Dammit_182
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 16 days ago

        Haha, i went Trent not Son. But still, was a daft move for that particular fixture.

  10. JONALDINHO
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 16 days ago

    Guarantee if Son had a higher ownership the assist stands

    1. Mona Lisa
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      It's just the rules mate

      1. JONALDINHO
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 16 days ago

        Wasn’t just the rules when it was Bruno…

        1. Mona Lisa
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 16 days ago

          It's still the rule, whether they made a "mistake" in the past, it's still the rule

    2. DycheDycheBaby
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      Sour grapes

    3. Duke Silver ☑
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      Needs more cOntEnt cReaToR ownership

    4. Herger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      He's hardly a differential. Look at all the people on here shouting for an assist depsite the fact that it was Pinball off Brentford defenders before one of them eventually stuck it in

    5. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      I feel sorry for Linn and her Ben Davies punt

  11. PartyTime
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 16 days ago

    Choupo Moting assist

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      Too soon 🙁

  12. Feloh
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 16 days ago

    I'm transferring in Son after this game. Can't let my nu*s hang this much not owning.

    1. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      seems to have the jets on

  13. df34
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 16 days ago

    Son owner , no assist is fair.
    However, FPL need to stop doing their own VAR on it. What I mean is don't give it and then take it away. I am afraid to celebrate any player return's now in case it is taken away. Take your time FPL and make the right decision, but do not give us fake news to celebrate and then take it away from us.

    1. david31058

    2. Zalk
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      agree

    3. @persecuted_by_mods
        4 years, 16 days ago

        More clicks outrage retweets and social media engagements if they do it this way

      • That Was Easy!
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 16 days ago

        Yeah, agreed. But that doesn’t mean we can’t complain a bit first.

      • Freshy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 16 days ago

        get it right.No Jammy Points

    4. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      Mbeumo effort!

    5. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      What happened to son and Kane? They look so off the pace

      Kane dropping deep

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 16 days ago

        Missing Jose's attacking football?

      2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 16 days ago

        Son running around alot but very rarely taking shots or getting in threatening positions

        1. Sailboats
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 16 days ago

          time to sell?

          1. JONALDINHO
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 16 days ago

            Sell before Norwich yes

        2. Feloh
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 16 days ago

          As a non-owner Son is way too threatening. What game are you watching?

      3. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 16 days ago

        You say Kane dropping deep like it's a new thing

      4. ‘Tis the Season
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 16 days ago

        conte realized he is better defensive midfielder

      5. Collie01
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 16 days ago

        Kane just looks like a player in his mid 30s at times, especially without the ball. He was never blessed with pace but I think he has slowed down a bit in the last year so so

        1. Bobby Digital
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 16 days ago

          He's clearly over 40 with a fake ID

    6. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      First 30 minutes: this hasn't been a great match

    7. PartyTime
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      Commentator here saying “Mbumbu”

      1. Duke Silver ☑
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 16 days ago

        Still better than Mark and Az's pronunciation 😆

        1. PartyTime
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 16 days ago

          😆

      2. Bobby Digital
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 16 days ago

        Mboomo here

      3. EDUARDO DA SILVA
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 16 days ago

        Az with Mbomo

    8. Fish up a tree
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      Spurs are so poor to watch & owning Kane is painful

      1. g40steve
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 16 days ago

        Yes,

        Kane 29 points 12.5

        Dennis 73 points 5m

        1. Herger
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 16 days ago

          Not looked but I'd guess Kane's probably played more minutes too.

          1. g40steve
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 16 days ago

            Yes 🙂

    9. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      Good idea from skipp there to cross to the smallest man on the pitch

    10. Espanyolie
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      As a Son owner, that was never an assist. However last week’s Jesus assist given to Gundo with that Fernandinho goal was a disgrace

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 16 days ago

        When Gundo got the last touch on the ball before Fernandinho scored?

        1. Espanyolie
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 16 days ago

          Call that a touch, the ball didn’t even change direction

          1. Rainer
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 16 days ago

            Doesn't have to.

            1. Espanyolie
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 16 days ago

              Agree to disagree then, I would rather call that a step-over. The chance was created by Jesus.

              1. Rainer
                • 9 Years
                4 years, 16 days ago

                Very unlucky for Jesus owners but there was a clear touch.

                Opta will have heatmaps of touches too as they gave it to Gundo.

        2. BeaversWithAttitude
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 16 days ago

          The ball didn't seem to deviate at all... doubt he touched it.

          1. Espanyolie
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 16 days ago

            This

        3. The Ilfordian
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 16 days ago

          Rolled over his boot you mean

      2. The Ilfordian
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 16 days ago

        This (fellow Son / Jesus owner)

    11. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      Christ, Brentford are shite!

      1. Ze_Austin
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 16 days ago

        Yeah. Spurs aren't playing well, but are somehow playing much better than Brentford

      2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 16 days ago

        Very surprised by this

        Spurs are there for the taking. They are terrible almost all over the pitch

    12. Randaxus
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      If Kane keeps playing like this, he will never break any more records.

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 16 days ago

        Think City still will take the risk on signing him?

    13. EDUARDO DA SILVA
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      Spurs need creative midfielder at winter, Kane can't play CMF.

      1. Randaxus
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 16 days ago

        Maybe a player list Eriksen, you know what I mean 😀

      2. Herger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 16 days ago

        They need a lot.

      3. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 16 days ago

        Eriksen is available tbf.

      4. Randaxus
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 16 days ago

        like eriksen* they really need a player with his creative quality again.

    14. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      Makes you think what are Spurs actually practicing in training

      1. Feloh
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 16 days ago

        Try being a Brentford fan

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 16 days ago

          Hehe, well at least Brentford have a go, Spurs are like a drowning Hippo

          1. ‘Tis the Season
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 16 days ago

            not sure I understand the hippo analogy...hippos can swim ad stay underwater for hours...confused

    15. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      Fernandez denies Son.

    16. Duke Silver ☑
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      😆 Hojberg trying to get the crowd going. You have to give them something to shout about first mate

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 16 days ago

        Doesn’t help when he’s constantly fouling players and stopping any momentum

    17. Randaxus
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      To be fair that was a top quality save from Fernandez

      1. Ze_Austin
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 16 days ago

        Their only good player so far

    18. lilmessipran
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      For the first time under Conte seems like Spurs players are actually beginning to understand the formation and their individual roles in it. No more running around like headless chickens

    19. Duke Silver ☑
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      4th official getting hit by the ball while dozing off 😆

    20. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      Bavies back to his best!
