Welcome back to Teamsheet... Mail Sport's original football memory game with a twist that gives you the chance to test your football knowledge against your mates.

Tottenham host Manchester United in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon, so we are taking you back to a clash between the two sides in April 2016.

On that occasion, Spurs picked up a convincing 3-0 victory at White Hart Lane as they tried to chase down unlikely leaders Leicester City in the final weeks of the season. We want to know if you can name their starting XI from that day.

It's just for fun, so see how you fare and share your Teamsheet score... full instructions on how to play are at the bottom of the article and in the game itself. And you can also pick any team you like and guess their starting XI.

Best of luck!

HOW TO PLAY

The aim of the game is to score as few points as possible!

If you guess a player at the first attempt you score one point - so the lowest score for guessing every player at the first attempt is 11.

Guess a correct letter in the right position, and it'll turn green. Guess a correct letter but in the wrong position, and it'll turn yellow.

You have six guesses for each player - and if you fail, we'll reveal their identity for 11 points! You can also ask for a free letter, but it costs you a point.

So play on to see if you'll score the best possible total of 11 - or fail on every player and score 121.

Dictator Kim Jong-un has banned Tottenham Hotspur matches from being broadcast in North Korea.

The nation's 26 million citizens sit down to watch Premier League games before news bulletins but they will not be able to watch the North London club.

North Korea's regime does not allow any games involving players from neighboring country South Korea to be shown.

This means Spurs, who are captained by Son Heung-min, are never shown on North Korea's version of Match of the Day.

Last year, coverage also left out Hwang Hee-chan of Wolverhampton Wanderers and Kim Ji-soo, a defender who plays for Brentford.

This means Jong-un won't be able to watch Tottenham and Son, who also captains South Korea's national side, take on his favourite team Manchester United on Saturday evening.

Matches are reportedly shown four months after they are played on state-run KCTV meaning last August's games were seen in January.

The games are shortened from 90 minutes to 60 and games are broadcasted before news bulletins.

The findings came in a report by the independent US think tank, Stimson Center's 38 North project.

North Korean television schedules are rife with propaganda, the report said, but sports is 'one of the few moments each day when state TV is not trying to send an overt or underlying message to its viewers'.

Martyn Williams, who worked on the findings, said: 'There wasn't really any intention to the research except that we thought it was interesting. We just saw a lot of football on KCTV. It's the main international sport they broadcast.'

The report added that in 2023, KCTV showed matches from the Premier League, Champions League and World Cup.

The previous year the country showed coverage of England's top flight alongside Germany's Bundesliga, Spain's La Liga, France's Ligue 1 and Italy's Serie A.

However, North Korea does not have an agreement to show TV highlights of Premier League games as they happen.

Ange Postecoglou insisted that Tottenham must improve their league position

He wants his side to balance their focus between European and domestic efforts

LISTEN NOW: It's All Kicking Off! Will Liverpool recover from Everton blow in season-defining week?

Ange Postecoglou has warned his Tottenham players not to fall into the trap of thinking the Europa League is all that matters.

The Spurs boss is determined to climb out of the Premier League doldrums as James Maddison, Destiny Udogie and Guglielmo Vicario return from injuries against Manchester United on Sunday.

'We can't put the cue in the rack in terms of the league and say let's peter out and finish where we finish,' said Postecoglou, whose team are 14th one place and two points behind United. 'That's not the mindset I want.

'We need to improve our league position. Where we are I don't think is reflective of what we have and that's my role, to get maximum out of the guys we have.

'We need to move up the table and see where that takes us. I still think it's really tight. At some point, unless teams are really lucky, the kind of injuries we've had will catch up with others as well. Which gives us an opportunity if we can get on a run to move up the table.'

Brennan Johnson, Timo Werner and Wilson Odobert are also close to returning from injuries, which leaves Postecoglou without Micky van de Ven, Cristian Romero and Dominic Solanke, who are all an estimated two to three weeks away.

Van de Ven's return from hamstring trouble has been delayed as the club work with outside experts to solve his persistent problems by understanding better the stress his extreme speed puts on his body.

But he and Romero are training regularly. 'They're not bed-ridden, they're not sitting around having treatment,' said Postecoglou, who hopes to have them back in the first team group next month.

Solanke, ahead of schedule after suffering a knee injury in mid-January, could also be back around the same time.

Returning players together with a rare fixture-free week ahead of the game at home to Manchester United have enabled Tottenham to take time off and refresh tired minds and bodies since their FA Cup exit at Aston Villa on Sunday.

'We're still in the same position and we're still dealing with certain things,' said Postecoglou. 'But there's a natural physical break which allows us to think from here onwards there's an opportunity to maybe change the course of our season.

'You can't ignore what's happened. We're still carrying remnants of that, the disappointment of the league season, the disappointment of going out in the semi final of the Carabao Cup, the disappointment of Sunday.

'You carry that with you. You can't just extinguish that. But there is an opportunity for a little bit of a reset because it's coincided with some significant inclusions.'

Daniel Levy will face the biggest protest against his 24-year Tottenham reign when Spurs host Manchester United on Sunday.

Frustration towards the Tottenham chairman has intensified in recent weeks with the club 14th in the Premier League and out of both domestic cups.

Current manager Ange Postecoglou may be feeling the heat but anger at Levy is longstanding with Tottenham trophyless for 17 years and without a top-three finish in the league since 2018.

This is despite the club posting a revenue of £615million last season and charging the second-most expensive adult season ticket in Europe at £856.

And hundreds are expected to turn out for a demonstration, organised by fans' group Change for Tottenham, having grown fed up with the club's decline on the pitch during Levy's tenure.

Protesters plan to march ahead of the game and then stage a sit-in protest at full-time in the South Stand.

Demonstrations are nothing new with slogans including 'L£VY OUT' and 'Profit before glory' common place at Tottenham Hotspur stadium in recent seasons.

However, as Postecoglou's side gear up for a clash with fellow strugglers Manchester United, Change for Tottenham, have vowed to ramp up the pressure on Levy.

'You [Levy] are killing a once great football club to improve your own financial wellbeing,' spokesperson Jay Coughlan told GB News.

'Us fans deserve to have a voice, we seem to have sat back and let the club slowly lose what we are about.'

Coughlan has also sent out a warning to Levy that the protest at the Manchester United game 'is only the start' with 'more details to follow' on further action.

'It’s by far the most vigilant fans have been on the way the club acts,' Coughlan told The Sun.

'If you look at 2019, we were battling to win a Champions League final.

'Fast forward five years and realistically we’re in a relegation fight.'

King Charles was seen having an incredibly awkward interaction with Tottenham captain Son Heung-min as he asked about the current state of the side.

The royal, 76, travelled to the stadium in north London to celebrate the positive socio-economic impact of the football club, and its partnership with the NFL, on the local community.

The King was seen smiling and waving at wellwishers, who were sporting white and blue flags - as he slowly made his way into the football club's headquarters.

The monarch greeted Tottenham Hotspur's men's captain, Son and the women's captain, Bethany England, who was part of of Sarina Wiegman's squad that won the Euros in 2022.

During his brief interaction with Spurs star Son, The King asked Son about Spurs' current situation, in front of club chairman Daniel Levy.

In a clip that appeared online, Charles said: 'So who are you playing this weekend then?'

Son responded: 'We are going to play against United... Manchester United. On Sunday'.

The royal asked: 'Have you got a good chance?'. Son replied: 'I hope so'.

Charles questioned: 'Is the team in good order at the moment?'

'We are in a difficult moment but we are working hard', Son replied.

During the awkward interaction, club chairman Levy - who has come under scrutiny with the Tottenham fans in recent months - grinned as he watched along.

Ange Postecoglou's side have endured a nightmare campaign - derailed by injuries to their squad - which has left them 14th in the Premier League table.

After defeat by Aston Villa on Sunday, a game once again plagued by chants from the Spurs fans for chairman Levy to leave the club, Postecoglou's side are out of both domestic cups and the Premier League is a fever dream.

They have played 39 games in all competitions this season, conceding a whopping 57 goals. That's over 1.5 a game, and is lower than only Leicester and Southampton - 62 and 63 respectively. Below that is Wolves with 56 - decent company.

In 2025 alone, Spurs top the lot. Conceding 17 goals this calendar year, they are on par with Ipswich, while conceding more than Southampton and Leicester.

Their Premier League total of 37, meanwhile, is the fifth-worst in the division.

When it comes to defending, Tottenham are all over the place. Up there with the worst in the league. But the imminent returns of Romero and Van De Ven could help that.

Up front, there are injuries - Dominic Solanke is out, Wilson Odobert has missed almost the whole season and Richarlison looks set for another spell on the sidelines - but that hasn't stopped them performing.

Spurs have scored the third-most goals in the league this season with 48, behind Liverpool with 56 and Arsenal with 49 - tied with Manchester City.

They are fifth for expected goals and the same for big chances created. Tidy up the defence, and the potential to be a really good side is there. It's how that defence is tidied up - and how quickly - that leaves the problem.

Roy Keane has questioned when James Maddison will 'step up' for Tottenham amid their struggles this year.

Ange Postecoglou's side have endured a nightmare campaign - derailed by injuries to their squad - which has left them 14th in the Premier League table.

Maddison is among the current absentees for Tottenham, after picking up a calf strain last month, with many fans hoping he'll soon return to the Spurs line-up.

However, speaking on the latest episode of Stick to Football, brought to you by Sky Bet, Roy Keane suggested Maddison was not a big miss for Postecoglou's side.

Keane said: 'Which players [are we] talking about coming back that can help Spurs? I agree with [Micky van de Ven, Guglielmo Vicario] – that's two.

'[Destiny] Udogie is not bad. We saw James Maddison at Tamworth, he was taken off! Tamworth are non-league. People say, "Maddison's the man", but when is he going to step up to the plate?

'He got relegated with Leicester [City] and [looks like] with Spurs. Maddison isn't bad but if you think he's going to come back and get Spurs top six, you're in cuckoo land.

'He's a talented player, but if you're a player in the Spurs dressing room and he's back in the squad, you wouldn't be looking and going, "James is back today – we're going to be fine!".'

In the league, Maddison has made 22 appearances - starting just 15 of those - but still boasts an impressive output of eight goals and four assists for the north London side.

His most impressive display came during Spurs' visit to Manchester City in November - where he scored two of his side's four goals at the Etihad.

Keane continued: 'I saw him, James Maddison, at [Manchester] City when they won that game 4-0 and I thought he blended the quality of his attacking with actually being good in his defensive duties.

'I actually said that he set a standard that night that he's got to continue to keep. He's not consistent – that's the problem with him.'

In his last outing, prior to picking up the calf injury, the 28-year-old scored a goal and provided an assist as Spurs ran out 3-2 winners against Hoffenheim in the Europa League.

Much of Tottenham's campaign has been blighted by the overwhelming injuries to the squad, with Postecoglou forced to call upon teenage stars on a regular basis.

For their recent defeat by Aston Villa, Spurs had 11 first-team players unavailable due to injury - Radu Dragusin, Van de Ven, Romero, Vicario, Udogie, Dominic Solanke, Brennan Johnson, Timo Werner, Richarlison, Wilson Odobert and Maddison.

As a result, Tottenham were active in the winter window and brought in three recruits; Antonin Kinsky, Kevin Danso and Mathys Tel.

Tottenham's next outing sees them take on Manchester United in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon - in a must-win match for Postecoglou.

King Charles looked in high spirits as she visited the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Wednesday, and even had a go at throwing around an American football in front of athletes.

The royal, 76, travelled to the stadium in north London to celebrate the positive socio-economic impact of the football club, and its partnership with the NFL, on the local community.

Charles must've felt like the team MVP - as he was greeted with joyful screaming and cheering, while confidently strolling onto the pitch.

The King was seen smiling and waving at wellwishers, who were sporting white and blue flags - as he slowly made his way into the football club's headquarters.

The monarch greeted Tottenham Hotspur's men's captain, Son Heung-min and the women's captain, Bethany England, who was part of of Sarina Wiegman's squad that won the Euros in 2022.

The trio were seen beaming as they posed for pictures at the event. Charles then met the longest-serving British NFL player Efe Obada and captain of Team GB Women's Flag Football team - as well as NFL Global Flag Ambassador, Phoebe Schecter.

The King - who is a fan of rugby and played it during his school years - was then shown how to throw an American football by Phoebe and Efe.

She could be heard teaching the royal how to aim for the target before he had a go himself, impressing the audience who applauded his attempt.

Charles then urged Efe to have a go and he managed to effortlessly throw the ball into one of the nets.

While posing for a group photo on the pitch, he was then presented with a replica of the club's historic original golden cockerel statue by both of the Spurs' captains.

He was also given an American football from the Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans by the NFL.

During his visit, Charles also watched a demonstration by young people involved in The Huddle Project - a dual sport programme launched in 2023 by Tottenham Hotspur, the NFL and Nike for boys and girls aged 11-18.

It increases access to free football and NFL Flag, which is the non-contact version of American Football, alongside as wellness experiences and employment opportunities in Tottenham.

After greeting representatives from the club, who are currently 14th in the Premier League, Charles then met with community groups and local businesses that have benefitted from the opportunities provided by the new stadium.

These include students from a state-funded Sixth Form, named London Academy of Excellence Tottenham, located on the stadium campus and co-sponsored by the Spurs.

The school prioritises spaces for pupils from disadvantaged socio-economic backgrounds to help give them the best possible chance of accessing the country's top universities.

Charles also met young people who are supported by The King's Trust, a youth charity founded by His Majesty as Prince of Wales in 1976.

He greeted those connected to the non-profit organisation, who live and work in Tottenham, some of whom have taken part in the Trust's 'Get into Security' programme delivered with the football club and are now employed at the stadium.

Before leaving the stadium, Charles also joined a workshop where he oversaw young people designing football jerseys alongside representatives from Nike.

It has been a busy week for the King, who hosted hundreds of military personnel at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday evening, alongside Queen Camilla.

His Majesty, as Commander-in-Chief of the British Armed Forces, hosted around 340 people and spoke to service members.

Meanwhile, during the Queen's reception, Warrant Officer Danny Manifold from HMS Astute reflected on the strong ties between the Royal Navy and the Royal Family.

He recalled Camilla's thoughtful gesture during a 2020 visit to the Scottish naval base.

'At the height of the Covid pandemic, she had presented caterers on board HMS Astute with tea and biscuits specifically, English Breakfast tea and shortbread for all 135 submariners. It went down very well with the crew,' Manifold said.

'She writes at least once a year to us. Everyone really knows that she's really involved.'

She apologised then that she was unable to shake crew members' hands, due to the coronavirus pandemic - and thanked them 'from the bottom of my heart' for their service.

Camilla, 77, worked her way around the room, chatting to various guests in an eye-catching emerald green frock and black suede boots.

The King's event, which lasted more than an hour, saw him engaged in animated conversation with guests - and his 'eyes lit up' with the mention of James Bond author Ian Fleming.

Charles demonstrated a keen interest in the heritage during a recent engagement with service personnel, particularly in the history of the elite Number 30 Commando unit.

The unit, originally proposed by James Bond creator Ian Fleming during World War II, remains an integral part of the UK Commando Force to this day.

Lieutenant Colonel Chris Armstrong, a member of the unit, noted the King enthusiasm when discussing its origins.

'His eyes lit up a little bit when we talked about that connection,' Armstrong said, highlighting the monarch's appreciation for its storied past.

Lieutenant Colonel Chris Armstrong, from the UK Commando Force, described his conversation with the King on Tuesday as 'really special'.

'It means a great deal to us... that we have moments to share like this with the King,' he said.

Three down, one to go - if Ange Postecoglou is going to keep his word of winning a trophy in his second season, it's going to have to be the Europa League.

After defeat by Aston Villa on Sunday, a game once again plagued by chants from the Spurs fans for chairman Daniel Levy to leave the club, Postecoglou's side are out of both domestic cups and the Premier League is a fever dream.

But how bad has it really been? With players falling like flies and different ways to fix the issues arising every game, it's been a season to forget.

The likes of Cristian Romero, Micky Van De Ven and Guglielmo Vicario have all been missing for extended periods, and players such as Archie Gray have tried to fill in, but the absentees have been brutal - and may be the reason Postecoglou is still in a job.

Defensively is where the main issues lay. Whether that's from direct issues in defence in terms of injuries or elsewhere, such as midfield struggles, it's hard to tell. But the numbers at the back are up there with the worst.

Mail Sport take a look at the stats - mostly provided by Opta - that shame Spurs this season - and in 2025 in particular.

Goals conceded

Tottenham, in reality, aren't in a relegation battle. They are 14th in the Premier League table, but 10 points above the bottom three. In terms of goals conceded, though, they are up there with the worst.

They have played 39 games in all competitions this season, conceding a whopping 57 goals. That's over 1.5 a game, and is lower than only Leicester and Southampton - 62 and 63 respectively. Below that is Wolves with 56 - decent company.

In 2025 alone, Spurs top the lot. Conceding 17 goals this calendar year, they are on par with Ipswich, while conceding more than Southampton and Leicester.

Their Premier League total of 37, meanwhile, is the fifth-worst in the division.

Shots faced

In 2025, in which Spurs have played 11 games, they have faced 167 shots on goal. That's more than 15 a game on average, and 52 of them have been on target, with 17 of them going in.

That equates to 15.2 per game - the third-most in the league, below West Ham (15.8) and Brentford (16.3).

Their shots faced total is more than 40 higher of any Premier League club in all competitions, with Manchester City conceding the next most with 126. Then come Newcastle with 120, Brentford with 114 and Manchester United with 109.

In terms of shots on target, Spurs' 52 is six more than Southampton's 46, eight more than Manchester City's 44 and nine more than Newcastle's 43.

Expected goals against

From the shots Tottenham have faced this year, they have conceded an expected goals against (xGA) number of 20.1.

For those not familiar with the metric, it assesses the quality of chances that teams are creating by working out the percentage chance that an effort will go in considering where it comes from on the pitch.

The numbers reveal that Spurs are conceding high-quality chances at will. They have actually only conceded 17 goals this year compared to the 20-odd they should have done, and they have goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky to thank for that.

In terms of the average, that's 1.8 xGA a game - the second worst in the league behind Southampton, who are up at 2.4.

But it's not all bad...

When it comes to defending, Tottenham are all over the place. Up there with the worst in the league. But the imminent returns of Romero and Van De Ven could help that.

Up front, there are injuries - Dominic Solanke is out, Wilson Odobert has missed almost the whole season and Richarlison looks set for another spell on the sidelines - but that hasn't stopped them performing.

Spurs have scored the third-most goals in the league this season with 48, behind Liverpool with 56 and Arsenal with 49 - tied with Manchester City.

They are fifth for expected goals and the same for big chances created. Tidy up the defence, and the potential to be a really good side is there. It's how that defence is tidied up - and how quickly - that leaves the problem.

Tottenham host Manchester United in the Premier League on Sunday

Spurs were without 12 first-team players for the FA Cup defeat by Aston Villa

LISTEN NOW: It's All Kicking Off! Is there an agenda against Ange Postecoglou?

Tottenham star Destiny Udogie is set to return in time for the clash with Manchester United on Sunday, according to a report.

Udogie is among the 12 first-team Spurs players to have missed the 2-1 defeat by Aston Villa in the fourth round of the FA Cup on Sunday.

The 22-year-old has not featured since suffering a hamstring problem in the club's 2-2 draw with Wolves on December 29.

But according to The Sun, Udogie has recovered in time to face Man United at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday in a welcome boost for under-fire manager Ange Postecoglou.

Spurs have been forced to field a makeshift defence with Udogie out alongside centre backs Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero.

Goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario has also not played since fracturing his ankle in the 4-0 thrashing of Man City in November, while defender Radu Dragusin has been ruled out for the remainder of the season after tearing his ACL during the Europa League game against Elfsborg.

Postecoglou is also under severe pressure but launched a passionate defence of his players, claiming every club would struggle as Spurs have done with 12 first-teamers missing.

'I don't care how people judge me but don't judge this group of players,' Postecoglou said. 'People can say I have done a bad job or that I'm not up to it and that's fine,' the Australian said.

'Look at what this group have been doing for two-and-a-half months. It can't be that people think (the injury situation) is an excuse.

'That's just not anywhere near close to objective analysis. That's just agenda driven stuff. If it's to get rid of me that's fine. Good on you. Go for it a million times. But what this group has given is outstanding. Credit to them.'

The clash with United on Sunday pits 14th against 13th, with Ruben Amorim's men also struggling in the league this season.

Marcus Rashford made his Aston Villa debut on Sunday in a 2-1 win over Spurs

Rashford, 27, joined Villa from Man United on an initial loan deal a week earlier

LISTEN NOW: It's All Kicking Off! Does the Premier League REALLY need to look at goal celebrations?

Marcus Rashford played his first game in 59 days when he made a cameo in Aston Villa's 2-1 win over Tottenham in the FA Cup on Sunday.

Rashford's Villa debut came a week after he sealed a loan move away from Manchester United until the end of the season.

The 27-year-old had been exiled by Ruben Amorim since December after falling out with the United manager and publicly expressing his desire to seek a 'new challenge'.

Rashford entered Sunday's game as a substitute in the 65th minute and went on to touch the ball 22 times, with each involvement causing excitement among the crowd.

After the game, Rashford took to Instagram to send a nine-word message to his new supporters.

Alongside five photos from the game - including two featuring young fans holding up homemade signs with his name on - Rashford wrote: 'Thank you for the warm welcome. Great team performance'.

Sunday's victory saw Villa reach the last 16 of the FA Cup for the first time in a decade.

They will be hoping to go all the way and win the tournament - something Rashford achieved twice with United.

Rashford is still under contract at Old Trafford until June 2028.

However, Villa will have the option to sign him permanently in the summer for a transfer fee in the region of £40million.

Rashford scored 138 goals in 426 senior appearances for United before making the move to Villa Park.

He will be hoping to net his first goal for Villa next weekend when Unai Emery's men host Ipswich Town in the Premier League.

Villa currently sit eighth in the Premier League - eight points and five places above United.
