Tottenham boss Thomas Frank has been dealt an injury doubt ahead of their crunch Premier League clash with Man United.
Saturday's early kick-off promises fireworks as Spurs host the Red Devils in North London.
With the two sides coming in off near-identical records of five wins and three losses from their first 10 league matches, with both also scoring 17 goals, this face-off could prove pivotal in the race for European qualification.
Tottenham's home form has been a significant concern, with the club sitting 17th in the home standings despite topping the away form table this season. Meanwhile, no other Premier League side has lost more home games than the Lilywhites in 2025.
Frank's side suffered another N17 setback last weekend, registering a lowly expected goals figure of just 0.1 in their 1-0 defeat to Chelsea – the lowest by any Premier League team this season.
However, their midweek 4-0 thrashing of Copenhagen in the Champions League offered a glimpse of their attacking potential, with defender Micky van de Ven bagging a stunning solo goal which drew comparisons to Son Heung-min's famous Burnley strike in 2019.
In terms of the recent head-to-heads between Spurs and United, the former reigns supreme.
Tottenham are unbeaten against tomorrow's visitors in their last seven meetings across all competitions, winning five and drawing two, including that historic Europa League final win in Bilbao earlier this year.
What's more, if they beat them again tomorrow, it'll be the first time they've won three league games in a row against United since 1960.
However, the injury situation adds another layer of complexity for Spurs. They currently have the longest absentee list in the Premier League with 10 players sidelined, including Dominic Solanke, Dejan Kulusevski and James Maddison.
In the aftermath of Tottenham's 4-0 win over Copenhagen, star winger Mohammed Kudus strongly hinted he could be fit to face United after missing their European clash with a knock, and Frank has now provided an update on the Ghanaian.
Tottenham star Mohammed Kudus a doubt to face Man United this weekend
Speaking in his pre-match press conference, Frank explained that Kudus is "touch and go" to face United at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium — meaning he might not be ready on time depending on developments.
Potentially being without Kudus would undoubtedly be a bitter blow for Frank, considering the £150,000-per-week star has stood out as their star attacker this campaign.
No other Premier League player has averaged more takes-ons per 90 than the African this season, and he's currently among the division's top five best-performing players overall, according to WhoScored.
United arrive in north London with genuine momentum and are unbeaten in their last four league matches with three wins and a draw, their joint-best run under Ruben Amorim.
They've been particularly potent in attack too, netting two or more goals in their last four outings. Bruno Fernandes has been instrumental, with the 31-year-old now looking to assist in three consecutive away appearances for the first time since November 2020.
It is perhaps the worst time to face United right now, so Frank will be hoping that Kudus can indeed take part after his electrifying start to life at the club.
