3-4-3 Tottenham Hotspur Predicted Lineup Vs Manchester United
Defence
Hugo Lloris will operate between the sticks for the upcoming fixture. The France shot-stopper will be hoping to put up a strong performance and secure a clean sheet on Saturday.
Cristian Romero will form the centre-half partnership with Eric Dier, Ben Davies at the heart of Spurs’ backline.
Sergio Reguilon should start at the left-back position, whereas Matt Doherty will fill in on the other flank as the right-back. The full-backs will be expected to stay compact and keep their shape defensively.
Midfield
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg might start in the holding midfield position and could be assigned with more of a defensive role to shield the away side’s back-four.
Rodrigo Bentancur will slot into the central midfield role, determined to set up some clear-cut goal scoring chances for the front men.
Attack
Son Heung-min and Dejan Kulusevski will take up the wide positions, playing on the left and right-wing, respectively.
Harry Kane will lead the line for Tottenham Hotspur this weekend. The England international will be hoping to get his name on the scoresheet when he faces off against the United defence that has conceded seven goals in their last five matches across all competitions.
Lucas Moura could come off the bench to make a cameo appearance in the second forty-five minutes of the match if needed.
