Manchester United vs Tottenham Hotspurs: Match Preview:

Two teams certainly not in top gear and yet still in strong top-four contention face off on Wednesday night as Manchester United host Tottenham.

The Red Devils failed to score in a draw at home to Newcastle on the weekend, raising the pressure for the visit of Spurs as Erik ten Hag looks to show signs of progress in his side.

Once again, Tottenham were efficient at best as they downed Everton but Antonio Conte will not complain about a third win in a row.

With a couple of good wins at Old Trafford under their belt in recent years, Spurs will hope to banish memories of last season's collapse at the hands of Cristano Ronaldo on this visit to the Theatre of Dreams.

Team News:

Manchester United:

Man United's treatment room is still full to the brim ahead of Wednesday's game, as Axel Tuanzebe (unspecified), Brandon Williams (unspecified), Aaron Wan-Bissaka (muscle), Harry Maguire (hamstring), Donny van de Beek (muscle) and Anthony Martial (back) all missed the draw with Newcastle.

Maguire and Martial are not too far away from making their comebacks - the latter could even force his way into contention this week - while Martin Dubravka and Scott McTominay will be back after missing out at the weekend through ineligibility and suspension respectively.

It remains to be seen if Christian Eriksen will recover from illness in time to line up against his former club, so McTominay and Casemiro could form the midfield pairing, while Cristiano Ronaldo will aim to replicate his hat-trick in this fixture last season.

Tottenham Hotspur:

Tottenham have also been handed a couple of fresh concerns ahead of Wednesday's game, as Richarlison went down with a calf injury early into the second half against Everton, and he was pictured leaving the stadium on crutches.

Conte has already ruled the Brazilian out of this clash amid fears that he could also miss the World Cup, while Dejan Kulusevski remains doubtful after suffering a setback in his recovery from a hamstring injury.

Meanwhile, Emerson Royal is set to serve the third and final game of his suspension, as Matt Doherty continues to deputise.

A change in formation can be expected from Tottenham given Kulusevski and Richarlison's injuries, with Yves Bissouma likely to be introduced into a 3-5-2 formation, while Kane will aim to become the first Tottenham player in history to score in six successive Premier League games.

Conte said in his pre-game press conference that he wanted to stick with a 3-4-3, with Perisic potentially moving further forward, but it remains to be seen if that admission was simply mind games from the 53-year-old.
