Tottenham vs Sheffield United Lineups and Last Match
Tottenham
Tottenham slipped behind early on away at Burnley last time out but a gal from Son and another from Romero, put the visitors 2-1 up at the interval. Maddison scored a third goal for Spurs in the 54th minute and Son then scored twice to complete his hat trick and end any faint hopes of a Burnley comeback. The hosts did score another goal to make the final scoreline 5-2 but the result was well beyond doubt by that point. Bentancur, Sessegnon, Gil, Lo Celso, Romero and Whiteman are all doubts for this weekend's match against Sheff Utd due to injury.
Predicted Lineup – Vicario (GK), Romero, Porro, van de Ven, Udogie, Maddison, Bissouma, Kulusevski, Sarr, Son & Solomon
Sheff Utd
The Blades can count themselves both lucky and unlucky to have secured a point at home to Everton before the international break. The Toffees were the better side overall and should have really won the game but after going behind in the 14th-minute, Sheff Utd scored two first-half goals to lead 2-1 at the break. Everton equalised in the 55th minute but right at the depth the Toffees needed England's No.1 to come to their rescue as Pickford twice denied McBurnie. Lowe, Osborn, Fleck, Brewster, Norrington-Davies, Larouci, Egan and Jebbison are all injury doubts for Saturday's trip to the capital.
Predicted Lineup – Foderingham (GK), Baldock, Robinson, Egan, Ahmedhodžić, Larouci, Norwood, Hamer, Souza, McBurnie & Archer
Starting Lineups

*Lineups are usually announced 1hr before kick-off
Player to Watch: James Maddison
Maddison has started life at Tottenham in excellent fashion, scoring 2-goals and creating 2-goals in his opening four league games for the club.
With Tottenham expected to have the majority of the possession this weekend, we're backing Maddison to control the tempo of the match, creating chances for his teammates from open play and dead-ball situations and well as getting into a few goalscoring positions.
Don't be surprised to see Maddison's name on the scoreboard this weekend just as it was last time out against Burnley, as we just don't see the Blades' defense being able to stop the England international.
