Tottenham predicted lineup vs Man Utd - Premier League | OneFootball

As the pressure continues to mount on Ange Postecoglou in the Tottenham Hotspur dugout, the Australian welcomes fellow under-fire manager Ruben Amorim to north London on Sunday afternoon.

The Portuguese will march his struggling Manchester United squad to the capital looking for redemption following their dismal home defeat to Crystal Palace in their most recent Premier League fixture.

The positive news for Tottenham is that their upcoming opponents are one of the few sides who can match their underwhelming form over the past few months. Spurs have won both meetings with the Red Devils this season - including a rollercoaster 4-3 affair in the Carabao Cup back in December - and are aiming to pile more misery on the fallen giants.

Here is how Tottenham could line up for a crunch clash with the out-of-sorts United.

GK: Guglielmo Vicario - The long-awaited return of first-choice stopper Vicario has arrived after Postecoglou confirmed that the Italian is available on Sunday. He's been missing for several months but should be immediately restored to the starting XI.

RB: Pedro Porro - Never the most comfortable full-back when defending his own third but Porro is a firecracker in the opposition half. Despite Tottenham's struggles, he's accumulated two goals and seven assists in all competitions this term.

CB: Kevin Danso - Two outings and two defeats for January recruit Danso, who has been thrown into an injury-stricken backline. He's been chucked in at the deep end but will be pleased to see defenders returning from injury around him.

CB: Ben Davies - Archie Gray may claim a starting spot this weekend but the experienced Davies could get the nod instead having been benched in the FA Cup last time out. United's centre-forward woes will give Spurs' backline confidence.

LB: Djed Spence - Postecoglou confirmed that Udogie is available after returning to training but with Spence in impressive form, there may be no need to rush the Italian back into the fold. Spurs have mismanaged injury returns this season and won't want another setback.

CM: Rodrigo Bentancur - The Uruguayan oozes class in midfield even when those around him are losing their heads. He will come up against compatriot Manuel Ugarte in a fierce engine room battle on Sunday.

CM: Yves Bissouma - Bissouma has been in and out of the starting lineup since the turn of the year but Postecoglou may utilise the Mali international in the search for added defensive security.

CM: Pape Matar Sarr - James Maddison is available once more but might be another eased back into the action. Sarr will be battling with teenager Lucas Bergvall for a starting berth against United.

RW: Dejan Kulusevski - Tottenham's composer has largely been immune from his side's disappointing form this season and the Swede is likely to be the difference-maker against United. He's scored in both fixtures with the Red Devils in 2024/25.

ST: Son Heung-min - With Dominic Solanke and Richarlison sidelined, Son will be asked to lead the line. It's a role he's performed sporadically throughout his Spurs career but he's not quite as impactful in central areas.

LW: Mathys Tel - The January signing opened his Spurs account in the FA Cup defeat last weekend and will be hoping to inspire his new club between now and the end of the campaign. He may be viewing this as an audition ahead of a summer transfer to United.
