Tottenham Hotspur would look to extend their winning run this season when they face Manchester United in a mega clash in the Premier League. Spurs have won both their matches so far against Newcastle United and Fulham, which would probably make them slight favourites over a United team in disarray.
Manchester United, on the other hand, have made a mixed start to their season with a hard-fought win in their first match against Leicester City and a disappointing loss against Brighton and Hove Albion in their second outing. There has been a lot of turmoil inside the team in the recent times, and Mauricio Pochettino’s men would look to take full advantage of Mourinho’s problems when they meet the Red Devils in their backyard.
Team News
Pochettino has a full squad to choose from, except Heung Min Son, who is representing his country at the Asian Games and Victor Wanyama, who is out with a knee injury.
Predicted 3-1-4-2 Tottenham Hotspur Lineup To Face Manchester United
Predicted Lineup- 3-1-4-2
Defence
Hugo Lloris is the definite starter for Spurs in between the posts and would be guarded by the trio of Jan Vertonghen, Davinson Sanchez and Toby Alderweireld. All the defenders have done well to keep the damage to the minimum level in the last two matches and would try their best to keep a desperate Manchester United side from scoring against them.
Midfield
Pochettino has used his wing backs to good effect and would look to continue with Kieran Trippier and Ben Davies on either flank and break down the already fragile looking Manchester United defence at the earliest.
While Eric Dier is expected to start as the defensive screen once again, Christian Eriksen and Dele Alli would bear the onus of taking the attack to the opposition from the middle of the pitch.
Attack
After a sedate start this campaign, Harry Kane has racked up his first goal of the season in the match against Fulham. He will look to add to his tally as would his partner Lucas Moura, who has opened his account in the last game against Fulham with an absolute screamer from the edge of the box.
