Spurs remain without Radu Dragusin and Ben Davies in defence. James Maddison, Dominic Solanke and Dejan Kulusevski are absent in attack.

Yves Bissouma is injured and Archie Gray is unavailable. Djed Spence and Mohammed Kudus should shake off midweek knocks to start this match.

Tottenham Motivation

Spurs tend to win this fixture. They will go into the game with belief and look to take all three points.

Tottenham carried no attacking threat in their loss to Chelsea. Thomas Frank will expect a much more aggressive and purposeful approach in this one.

Man Utd Form

Man Utd seem to have turned a corner. Their last eight matches have seen five wins. They beat Burnley 3-2 with an impressive 3.63 xG produced. Following a 3-0 loss at Man City, they beat ten-man Chelsea 2-1 at home after a fast start. A 3-1 loss at Brentford saw United fall into their old ways.

Ruben Amorim’s side won three straight league matches after that. They beat Sunderland 2-0 at home, won 2-1 at Anfield thanks to a late Harry Maguire goal against Liverpool, and beat Brighton 4-2. Their last match saw a 2-2 draw at Nottingham Forest as they needed an 81^st minute equaliser.

Man Utd Team News

United have a clean bill of health. The only player who won’t feature is defender Lisandro Martinez, as he eases his way back to full fitness.

Harry Maguire and Mason Mount may have to make do with places on the bench once again. Casemiro has scored in his last two games and will start alongside Bruno Fernandes in midfield.

Man Utd Motivation

The Red Devils have regained some confidence. They seem to be finally taking on the coach’s ideas.

United will play to win this match. They may play defensively at times, but they have the speed and firepower to hurt Spurs.
