Manchester United will be aiming to return to winning ways in the Premier League when they face Tottenham Hotspur on the road this afternoon.
The Red Devils have had a horrendous top-flight campaign and have picked up just 29 points from a possible 72 at their disposal.
The club are languishing 14th in the standings as a result. They will be eyeing a positive result against Spurs, who are two points behind them in the table.
Formation: 3-4-2-1
Predicted Line-up:
Andre Onana has been ever-present in goal in the Premier League for United. He is guaranteed to continue between the sticks against Ange Postecoglou’s side.
In front of him, Harry Maguire and Leny Yoro are poised to start in the back three. We anticipate Matthijs de Ligt to be reinstated into the XI alongside the duo.
Patrick Dorgu had a nervous debut against Leicester City in the FA Cup fourth round win. He could drop to the bench. Noussair Mazraoui is likely to start at right wing-back with Diogo Dalot on the opposite end.
Further forward, there could be as many as four changes. Manuel Ugarte is a huge doubt for selection alongside Toby Collyer while Kobbie Mainoo and Amad Diallo have been ruled out with injuries.
Casemiro could get a rare start as the defensive midfielder with Bruno Fernandes in the number eight role. With the need for more creativity, we anticipate Christian Eriksen to line up in attacking midfield alongside Alejandro Garnacho, who had a lively outing off the bench in the FA Cup fourth round triumph.
Up front, we expect a straight swap with Joshua Zirkzee coming in for Rasmus Hojlund. The Dutchman scored a crucial equaliser against the Foxes and has been in better form in recent games.
Predicted Man Utd line-up (3-4-2-1) vs Tottenham: Onana; De Ligt, Maguire, Yoro; Mazraoui, Casemiro, Fernandes, Dalot; Eriksen, Garnacho; Zirkzee.
