Manchester United are back in Premier League action this Sunday, heading to North London for a crucial clash against Spurs, and the lineup has been announced.

Recent Form and Standings
Both teams are enduring underwhelming league campaigns, with United sitting just two points ahead of Spurs in the table. Despite a 2-2 draw at Liverpool and a 1-0 win at Fulham, United know they must improve consistency. Spurs, meanwhile, have only one league victory in 2025, a 2-0 win over Brentford, but were recently dumped out of the FA Cup by Aston Villa.

Spurs’ Tactical Approach
- Postecoglou’s attacking philosophy remains unchanged despite a long injury list.
- New signing Mathys Tel has impressed, scoring in Spurs’ FA Cup defeat to Villa.
