Tottenham Hotspur v Manchester United gets Gameweek 11 underway at 12.30pm GMT.

Spurs are on a four-match winless league run on their own soil, while United’s only away victory of 2025/26 came, incongruously, at Liverpool.

The Lilywhites are on a seven-game unbeaten run against today’s opponents, the most recent encounter being the UEFA Europa League final in May.

TEAM NEWS

There are three changes apiece from their last outings, which in Spurs’ case was a UEFA Champions League tie against Copenhagen.

Thomas Frank brings in Richarlison, Joao Paulinha and Djed Spence, with Wilson Odobert, Destiny Udogie and Rodrigo Bentancur dropping to the bench.

There is no Mohammed Kudus in the hosts’ squad. Frank described him as “touch and go” on Friday.

As for United, Ruben Amorim’s three changes all involve defenders.

Harry Maguire, Noussair Mazraoui and Patrick Dorgu return, with Leny Yoro, Diogo Dalot and Benjamin Sesko making way.

It looks like Amad Diallo will move from right wing-back to an attacking midfield position alongside Bryan Mbeumo. Matheus Cunha appears set to lead the line.

LINE-UPS

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Vicario, Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Spence, Sarr, Paulinha, Johnson, Simons, Richarlison, Kolo Muani.

Subs: Kinsky, Danso, Tel, Odobert, Udogie, Bentancur, Scarlett, Akhamrich, Rowswell.

Manchester United XI: Lammens, De Ligt, Maguire, Shaw, Mazraoui, Casemiro, Bruno Fernandes, Dorgu, Amad, Mbeumo, Cunha.

Subs: Bayindir, Yoro, Dalot, Mount, Zirkzee, Sesko, Ugarte, Heaven, Fletcher.

      No, you’re right. It’s almost as though they dropped their performance to match Spurs. They looked comfortable the whole way through until the goal mind, but there was no sense of urgency
