It’s not been often in recent games where Tottenham Hotspur haven’t conceded.

📰 Team News: Tottenham Hotspur

Lucas Bergvall (Ankle injury), James Maddison (Knee injury), Dane Scarlett (Groin surgery) and Radu Drăgușin (Cruciate ligament tear) will be missing for Tottenham Hotspur gaffer Ange Postecoglou.

In all likelihood, Spurs look set to use the 4-3-3 system for this game featuring Guglielmo Vicario, Pedro Porro, Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, Destiny Udogie, Yves Bissouma, Rodrigo Bentancur, Pape Sarr, Brennan Johnson, Dominic Solanke and Heung-Min Son.

📋 Team News: Manchester United

Manchester United boss Rúben Amorim has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Matthijs de Ligt (Knee injury), Joshua Zirkzee (Thigh problems) and Lisandro Martínez (Cruciate ligament injury) can’t be considered.

We reckon that The Red Devils will likely elect for a 3-4-2-1 formation, choosing Andre Onana, V. Nilsson Lindeloef, Harry Maguire, Leny Yoro, Noussair Mazraoui, Manuel Ugarte, Casemiro, Patrick Dorgu, Amad Diallo, Bruno Fernandes and Rasmus Hoejlund.

🔮 Prediction

We’ve got the feeling that Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are probably both going to find scoring goals difficult here.

It will be interesting to see how this one goes, and it’s not easy to pick a clear winner. We’re therefore tipping a very even match with a 0-0 score at the end of the match.
