Tottenham XI vs Manchester United: Confirmed team news, predicted lineup and injury latest for Premier League

Thomas Frank is sweating over the fitness of key forward

Tottenham will make a late decision over the fitness of Mohammed Kudus for their Saturday lunchtime clash with Manchester United.

The winger missed the midweek Champions League win over Copenhagen with a knock and speaking after the match said the injury was "getting better".

No player has provided more Premier League assists this season than Kudus, but it is uncertain whether he will be back to face United.

"Kudus is touch and go for tomorrow, we'll see," Thomas Frank said on Friday.

If Kudus is ruled out, Frank is likely to stick with Brennan Johnson and Wilson Odobert, who both started and scored against Copenhagen on Tuesday night.

Xavi Simons had his performance in a Spurs shirt in that match and should line up in the No10 role again, with Joao Palhinha set to return to the starting lineup behind him.

Destiny Udogie impressed in that match and will hope to keep his place in the side, which would mean Djed Spence having to settle for a spot on the bench.

Up front, Randal Kolo Muani has started the last two games and played 70 minutes in both but should now be up to speed enough to once again get the nod over Richarlison.

Lucas Bergvall remains unavailable due to concussion protocols and Dominic Solanke is still a way off returning after ankle surgery.

Predicted Tottenham XI (4-2-3-1): Vicario, Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Palhinha, Bentancur; Kudus, Simons, Odobert; Kolo Muani

Injured: Davies, Dragusin, Takai, Bergvall, Gray, Maddison, Bissouma, Solanke

Doubts: Kudus

Time and date: 12.30pm GMT on Saturday, November 8, 2025
