Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou has been dealing with a lengthy injury list, but Guglielmo Vicario and Destiny Udogie are expected to make their first appearances of 2025. James Maddison and Brennan Johnson could also return, though key figures like Micky van de Ven, Cristian Romero, and Richarlison remain sidelined. Meanwhile, Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim faces his own selection headaches, with Lisandro Martínez, Luke Shaw, and Mason Mount among several absentees. There are also doubts over Kobbie Mainoo and Amad Diallo, further limiting the Red Devils’ options in midfield and attack.

Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 Manchester United

Tottenham’s attacking firepower and home advantage could prove decisive, especially with key players returning to the fold. Manchester United, despite recent wins, remain inconsistent and vulnerable in midfield. Given Spurs' recent form at home—where goals have been a constant—expect both teams to score, but the hosts should edge this encounter with a narrow 2-1 victory.
