Man Utd vs Tottenham team news
Man Utd
Man Utd, and particularly Erik ten Hag, will be desperate to bounce back this weekend after losing 2-1 at Nottingham Forest in their last league game. Marcus Rashford looked to have earned the Red Devils a share of the spoils when the England forward equalised late on at The City Ground but Forest responded really well, netting the winning goal eight minutes from full-time.
Andre Onana and Sofyan Amrabat have joined up with their respective squads ahead of AFCON 2023, while Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof, Tyrell Malacia, Mason Mount, Carlos Casemiro and Lisandro Martinez look set to miss the Tottenham game through injury.
Predicted Lineup: Bayındır (GK), Evans, Varane, Dalot, Wan-Bissaka, Eriksen, Fernandes, Mainoo, Rashford, Antony & Garnacho
Tottenham
Tottenham made light work of in-form Bournemouth in their final game of 2023. Pape Sarr, Son Heung-Min and Richarlison scored to put Tottenham 3-0 up with ten minutes left on the clock. The Cherries did pull a goal back late on but it proved to be no more than a consolation.
Ivan Perisic, Alejo Veliz, Cristian Romero, Manor Solomon and James Maddison are all injured, while Yves Bissouma, Pape Sarr and Son Heung-Min are all on international duty.
Predicted Lineup: Vicario (GK), Davies, Royal, Porro, Udogie, Lo Celso, Bentancur, Skipp, Kulusevski, Richarlison & Johnson

Player to Watch: Dejan Kulusevski
Tottenham's Swedish international winger has been putting in some good performances of late and Spurs are going to need another one this weekend with Son away on international duty.
Kulusevski has chipped in with five league goals for Spurs this season, one fewer than Richarlison, but there is more onus on the winger to create opportunities for the likes of Richarlison this weekend in what should be a close and competitive game against Man Utd.
