TottenhamThe team's defense has been battered by injuries this season, and Destiny Udogie is the latest worry after being withdrawn in the first half of the weekend's win at St Mary's. However, Postecoglou confirmed that the Italian has a chance to feature on Thursday night.
Given that Guglielmo Vicario, Micky van de Ven, Ben Davies and Cristian Romero are all sidelined at the moment, Postecoglou could benefit from some positive news regarding Udoji, with options at the back running low.
And continue to advance on the field, Rodrigo Bentancur is still missing due to suspensionwhile Richarlison, Mickey Moore and Wilson Odubert are all unavailable as Tottenham's squad becomes increasingly stretched.
The expected lineup for Tottenham against Manchester United (4-2-3-1):Forrester; Boro, Dragocin, Gray, Spence; Bissouma, Sar; Kulusevski, Madison, Jr.; Solanki.
Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho were noticeably omitted from the squad for the match against Manchester City, with the former having since been omitted. He admitted that he wanted a “new challenge.” As he approaches an exit in the January transfer window. With Manchester United also investigating 'leaks' within the dressing roomIt would be interesting to see if either of them exist in North London.
Mason Mount and Noussair Mazraoui were both substituted against Manchester City due to fitness issues, with the England midfielder guaranteed to miss Thursday's match. Mazraoui will be evaluated closer to kick-off.
Luke Shaw is also unavailable due to a hamstring injury, but veteran defender Jonny Evans could return to the lineup after missing since Amorim's first game in charge.
Manchester United's expected lineup against Tottenham (3-4-2-1): Onana; Euro, Maguire, Martinez; Dalot, Maino, Ugarte, Malasia; Imad, Fernandez; Hoglund.
Both sides have been unpredictable in recent weeks and neither will be entirely confident despite the impressive wins at the weekend. Man UnitedOf course, they lost 3-0 at home to Tottenham earlier this season, but admittedly that was under a different regime.
Spurs tend to give their best for the so-called 'big teams' and have shown that they can absolutely shine when on song. Their attacking play is unstoppable when the likes of Dejan Kulusevski, James Maddison and Son Heung-min link up seamlessly – as evidenced by the 5-0 thumping of Southampton.
This attacking prowess could prove the difference between the two teams, as Tottenham's burning desire for a title of any kind may push them further than a Manchester United side still finding their feet under Amorim.
