Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United will go head-to-head in a crucial clash in the Europa League final on Wednesday night. Floods of supporters from both sides will already be in Bilbao, enjoying themselves as they get ready for the game.
Ange Postecoglou and Ruben Amorim's sides have struggled in the Premier League this season, particularly over the last few months with focus on Europe, sitting 17th and 16th in the table respectively.
It's an opportunity for either side to salvage something from a disastrous campaign, with the pressure mounting up on both managers heading into the game.
Tottenham Team News
Maddison to miss out
Postecoglou will be without a host of players heading into this crucial encounter. The Tottenham boss will have a decision to make in the attacking midfield position, with James Maddison, Lucas Bergvall, and Dejan Kulusevski all on the treatment table.
Timo Werner and Radu Dragusin are also unavailable, while young striker Dane Scarlett, although rarely given a chance in the senior squad, will be watching from the sidelines.
Speaking to the media ahead of the game, Postecoglou has shared an update on team news for Tottenham.
"Pretty much the same as last week. Lucas isn't available. Pape is fine."
Tottenham Predicted XI
Tel and Odobert benched
Tottenham Predicted XI: Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Sarr, Bissouma, Bentancur; Johnson, Solanke, Son.
Tottenham Predicted Substitutes: Kinsky (GK), Danso (DEF), Davies (DEF), Spence (DEF), Reguillon (DEF), Gray (MID), Odobert (FWD), Tel (FWD), Richarlison (FWD).
Although Postecoglou has a host of midfield injury issues to deal with, the fitness problems in other positions have improved in recent weeks. We could see Spurs deploy a full-strength defence, with an attacking trio of Heung-min Son, Brennan Johnson, and Dominic Solanke.
Mathys Tel and Wilson Odobert could be dropped to the bench despite starting in the previous Premier League match, along with the likes of Djed Spence and Archie Gray.
Manchester United Team News
De Ligt and Yoro missed the previous game
Matthijs de Ligt and Leny Yoro have both been on the sidelines in recent weeks, so they could be in a race against time to make the Europa League final. Lisandro Martinez and Joshua Zirkzee, but the former has travelled with the squad.
Diogo Dalot is a also a doubt for the Red Devils, but once again, he has flown to Bilbao, while Jonny Evans was also unavailable for United when they faced Chelsea last week.
Speaking to the media ahead of the Europa League final, Amorim has provided an update on who could be available to face Spurs.
"Me neither [didn't expect Joshua Zirkzee to be fit]! They recovered quite well. They pushed. Of course, we respect the feeling of the player but we pushed a little bit. They can help us win the game. De Ligt is out."
Man Utd Predicted XI
Yoro to start
Man Utd Predicted XI: Onana; Yoro, Maguire, Lindelof; Mazraoui, Ugarte, Casemiro, Dorgu; Diallo, Fernandes; Hojlund.
Man Utd Predicted Substitutes: Bayindir (GK), Shaw (DEF), Heaven (DEF), Dalot (DEF), Collyer (MID), Mainoo (MID), Mount (MID), Garnacho (FWD), Zirkzee (FWD).
With the lack of defensive options United have due to Martinez and De Ligt being out injured, we could see Yoro come straight back into the starting XI. It could be too soon for Dalot and Zirkzee, but we may see them take their place among the substitutes.
