As Tottenham gears up for their clash with Manchester United on Sunday, they’re aiming for a double victory after securing a 2-0 win back in August. Ange Postecoglou’s squad, now bolstered by the recent acquisitions of Timo Werner and Radu Dragusin, is set to face the unpredictable Red Devils at The Theatre of Dreams.

Alasdair Gold, Tottenham Hotspur correspondent, anticipates some challenges in the lineup due to injuries and international duties. Despite missing key players like Son Heung-min and Yves Bissouma, Postecoglou has options with Dragusin and Werner now in the mix. Gold suggests a potential defensive partnership of Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero, the latter returning from injury.

In midfield, Dejan Kulusevski may shift to a deeper role alongside Rodrigo Bentancur, leaving the choice between Oliver Skipp and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg for the remaining spot. Upfront, Timo Werner, though not having played competitive minutes since November, could feature on the left, while Bryan Gil might step in if needed.

Rob Guest, another Tottenham Hotspur reporter, echoes the defensive potential of Romero and Van de Ven, with Dragusin ready to step in if necessary. Midfield sees Bentancur and Skipp, joined by Kulusevski due to Giovani Lo Celso’s injury. The exciting addition is Timo Werner making his debut alongside Brennan Johnson and Richarlison in the attacking trio.

Both reporters present their anticipated lineups, setting the stage for an intriguing battle at Old Trafford as Spurs aim to continue their success against Manchester United.
