Tottenham vs Man Utd team news

Tottenham will welcome back goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario after over two months out with a fractured foot, likely replacing Antonin Kinsky in the starting XI against United.

Destiny Udogie and James Maddison are expected to return but will probably start on the bench. Wingers Brennan Johnson, Timo Werner, and Wilson Odobert are training but may not be ready to start.

Ange Postecoglou faces decisions in midfield and centre-back, with Rodrigo Bentancur, Yves Bissouma, Pape Matar Sarr, Lucas Bergvall, and Archie Gray competing for three midfield spots. Kevin Danso and Ben Davies are expected to lead the defence.

Dejan Kulusevski might start as a No. 8 or on the right wing, while Postecoglou must choose between Heung-min Son and Mathys Tel as the striker.

Micky van de Ven, Cristian Romero, Dominic Solanke, Richarlison, and Radu Dragusin remain sidelined with injuries.

United will not have any injured players available. Lisandro Martinez is out with a serious knee injury, and Luke Shaw has had a recent setback. Mason Mount and Jonny Evans are also unavailable, leaving head coach Ruben Amorim with the same squad as last week.

Alejandro Garnacho may start after being on the bench against Leicester, while Patrick Dorgu could make his first league start. Additionally, the United squad is dealing with a sickness bug ahead of the Spurs game, although the severity of this issue is still unclear.
