Predicted Spurs XI to face Man United – Heung-min Son starts despite knock

Tottenham Hotspur face a tough away trip to Old Trafford on Sunday to play Manchester United, mere days after playing more than 80 minutes with ten men against Qarabag in the Europa League.

We believe that Guglielmo Vicario will retain his spot between the sticks after such an impressive display in mid-week against Qarabag.

In front of him, Cristian Romero returns to the XI after sitting out on Thursday due to a European suspension. Micky Van de Ven partners the Spurs vice-captain.

Ange Postecoglou sticks with Destiny Udogie and Pedro Porro in the inverted full-back roles, with the former having to come off the bench against Qarabag to cover Radu Dragusin’s red card.

In the pivot role, Rodrigo Bentancur seems the obvious choice as the one holding midfielder who did not have to run his socks off in mid-week.

James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski remain in the creative midfield roles for the Lilywhites – a brave choice from Postecoglou away at Old Trafford.

Up front, Heung-min Son recovers from a knock against Qarabag to make the starting XI, while Dominic Solanke and Brennan Johnson will want to continue their respective goalscoring streaks.
