Tottenham vs Man Utd, Spurs v Manchester United

Let’s take a look at the team news as Manchester United aim to maintain their top-four position in the Premier League and knock Tottenham Hotspur out of contention. Spurs recently sacked their interim coach, Christian Stellini, after a devastating 6-1 defeat against Newcastle United, less than a month after parting ways with Antonio Conte. Ryan Mason has taken over as a temporary solution until the end of the season.

Despite their efforts to sign Julian Nagelsmann, the home side’s fading top-four aspirations would require a miracle to revive. With two games in hand and six points ahead of Tottenham, Manchester United are currently in fourth place. If the Spurs fails to secure a win on Thursday, they may bid farewell to their Champions League hopes for next season.

Injury/Suspension List:

Man United’s central defence is facing a shortage of options due to injuries. Phil Jones is out with a knee injury and not registered in the Premier League squad. Donny van de Beek is recovering from a knee injury, while Alejandro Garnacho and Tom Heaton have ankle problems.

Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane are unavailable due to injuries, and Scott McTominay is uncertain. Harry Maguire will be available, and there are no players serving suspension. Bruno Fernandes could also miss the showdown with Spurs due to an ankle injury.

On a positive note, Lucas Moura has completed his three-game suspension. Meanwhile, Clement Lenglet and Ben Davies were fit enough to make the bench last Sunday. However, their fitness level for the match against the Red Devils is uncertain.

Player To Watch Out For – Harry Kane

Harry Kane’s impressive goal-scoring record for Spurs in the Premier League includes 99 goals scored at home, and he could soon become the first player to achieve 100 goals in both home and away matches. Widely recognized as one of the world’s best footballers, Kane is highly skilled both as a striker and playmaker. He possesses exceptional accuracy in front of goal and has the ability to find the back of the net even in difficult situations.

His finishing skills are second to none, and he has an incredible knack for scoring goals in even the most difficult of situations.
