Tottenham Hotspur will face off against Manchester United at Old Trafford this Saturday as they look to secure a win on their travels in the Premier League. Spurs suffered a disappointing 3-2 loss at the hands of Aston Villa before the international break, so they would be eager to put in a much-improved performance this weekend.
Roberto De Zerbi will set his players up in a 4-2-3-1 formation and is expected to make some changes to his starting XI for this clash. Archie Gray, Marcos Senesi and Conor Gallagher could all play from the start of this game.
Defence
Antonin Kinsky will operate in goal for the North London club after conceding three goals in his last appearance. Marcos Senesi will function alongside Micky van de Ven, who is a slight concern ahead of this game, at the centre of De Zerbi’s defence as they focus on keeping a solid shape on the defensive end of the field.
Archie Gray will fill in as the right-back, while Andy Robertson hopes to catch the eye on the other side as the left-back. Both of them will have to pick and choose their moments to join in on the attack.
Tosin Adarabioyo will offer cover for the defensive positions on the bench.
Midfield
Sandro Tonali and Rodrigo Bentancur will anchor the midfield for the London club as they focus on establishing their dominance over the opposition in the middle of the park.
The gifted trio of Savinho, Conor Gallagher and Mohammed Kudus will operate just ahead of them as part of De Zerbi’s attack. All three of them need to be at their best if Spurs are to come out on top this weekend.
Lucas Bergvall and James Maddison will have to be content with a place on the bench as they wait for their chance to shine in the second 45 minutes if needed.
Attack
Omar Marmoush will spearhead Tottenham‘s attack up top. He has to find a way to be a real threat on the offensive end of the field.
Dominic Solanke will have to settle for a spot on the bench and might come on to influence the game in the latter stages if required.
