Manchester United vs Tottenham team news and prediction
Several key players for Tottenham are still uncertain. Dominic Solanke is doubtful after leaving the match against Manchester City due to a limp; he just returned from ankle surgery. Frank confirmed that Solanke has not yet reached full fitness post-injury.
Micky van de Ven has been out for a week with a minor injury but may return. Cristian Romero and Djed Spence are likely to come back after being sidelined by illness and a calf issue, respectively.
Despite some potential returns, Tottenham will still miss a significant number of players, including Kevin Danso, Richarlison, Pedro Porro, Lucas Bergvall, Rodrigo Bentancur, Mohammed Kudus, Ben Davies, Dejan Kulusevski, and James Maddison. New signing James Wilson is also expected to miss out as he joins the Under-21s.
Manchester United’s injury list is shorter. Patrick Dorgu is out with a hamstring injury, and Matthijs de Ligt is sidelined with a long-term back issue. Mason Mount may return after missing the win against Fulham.
Despite their missing players, Tottenham has performed well, but expectations are high for United to continue their recent success. With victories over Arsenal and Manchester City under Carrick’s leadership, the home side will look to build on this momentum.
The predicted outcome is a 2-1 victory for Manchester United.
