Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United - Preview, available players, prediction, team news, lineups, key player to miss the clash
Tottenham Hotspur will take on Manchester United in a crucial Premier League match on Thursday after a disastrous run of form that saw them lose 6-1 to Newcastle United and sack their manager, Cristian Stellini. Adding to their woes, goalkeeper Hugo Lloris suffered a hip injury during their last game, leaving his availability for the upcoming match uncertain. Tottenham also has several players in the medical bay, including Rodrigo Bentancur, Emerson Royal, Ryan Sessegnon, and Yves Bissouma. However, Lucas Moura will return to the squad after serving a three-game ban, and Clement Lenglet and Ben Davies may be brought back into the team if they can prove their fitness.
On the other hand, Manchester United will be without Bruno Fernandes, who picked up a knock during their FA Cup match against Brighton & Hove Albion and has been seen wearing a protective boot and using crutches at home. Fernandes is doubtful for the upcoming match, along with Donny van de Beek, Alejandro Garnacho, Tom Heaton, Phil Jones, Lisandro Martinez, and Raphael Varane, who are all nursing injuries. Scott McTominay will also miss the game due to a knock that kept him out of the FA Cup semi-final. However, Manchester United will welcome back Harry Maguire from suspension, though he is not guaranteed a place in the starting XI.
Despite their recent struggles, Tottenham has a good home record against Manchester United and will look to exploit their opponent's injury woes. Manchester United, on the other hand, will be eager to secure a win to maintain their position in the top four. This match promises to be an exciting contest, with both teams looking to make a statement and secure vital points in the race for a Champions League spot.

Forster; Romero, Dier, Davies; Porro, Hojbjerg, Skipp, Perisic; Kulusevski, Kane, Son
