Team News

Tottenham
Ange Postecoglou has greeted a positive update on the team news front ahead of his side’s latest fixture. The Tottenham Hotspur manager will be bereft of the services of nine first-team players vs Manchester United on Thursday.

Yves Bissouma is available after serving a one-game ban. However, Destiny Udogie might miss out after sustaining a thigh injury this past weekend against Southampton. The Italian full-back has joined Guglielmo Vicario (ankle), Ben Davies (hamstring), Cristian Romero (thigh), Micky van de Ven (hamstring), Mikey Moore (illness), Wilson Odobert (thigh), and Richarlison (hamstring) on the sidelines.

Fraser Forster will deputise for Vicario between the sticks, with Tottenham Hotspur lining up in a 4-2-3-1 formation in front of him vs Manchester United on Thursday. The backline should feature Pedro Porro, Archie Gray, Radu Dragusin, and Djed Spence, with the latter filling in for Udogie.

As for the midfield unit, Yves Bissouma should return, lining up alongside Pape Matar Sarr in the double pivot, with Rodrigo Bentancur still serving a suspension. James Maddison will likely reprise the no. 10 role, with Dejan Kulusevski and Brennan Johnson being the two wide attackers. Finally, Son Heung-min will likely lead the line for Tottenham against Manchester United, with Dominic Solanke being an option on the bench.

Probable Lineup (4-2-3-1): Forster; Porro, Gray, Dragusin, Spence; Bissouma, Sarr; Kulusevski, Maddison, Johnson; Son

Manchester United
Like his counterpart in the Tottenham Hotspur dugout, Ruben Amorim has a new injury concern that is hampering his preparations ahead of the trip to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The Manchester United manager will be without two first-team players on Thursday.

Mason Mount is the latest absentee, with the Englishman picking up a leg injury this past weekend against Manchester City. Luke Shaw is the only other absentee, although Noussair Mazraoui might not feature on Thursday, with Amorim likely to rest him.

Andre Onana is an automatic pick between the sticks, with Manchester United lining up in a 3-4-2-1 formation in front of him vs Tottenham Hotspur on Thursday. The central defensive unit should feature Leny Yoro, Harry Maguire, and Lisandro Martinez. Diogo Dalot and Tyrell Malacia will start as the two wing-backs.

The two wide players will provide the width in the final third and don the creative hat from the flanks. As for the midfield unit, Kobbie Mainoo and Casemiro will return to the starting eleven, with the duo pairing up in the middle of the park.

Finally, Joshua Zirkzee will likely spearhead the Manchester United attack against Tottenham, with Bruno Fernandes and Amad Diallo completing the numbers in the offensive trifecta. Meanwhile, speculation around Marcus Rashford’s future has been growing like wildfire, but Amorim has placed his faith in the Englishman.

Probable Lineup (3-4-2-1): Onana; Yoro, Maguire, Martinez; Dalot, Mainoo, Casemiro, Malacia; Diallo, Bruno Fernandes; Zirkzee
Prediction: Tottenham Hotspur 1-2 Manchester United
