Predicted Tottenham team to face Manchester United

Jose Mourinho’s side Manchester United will seek to respond to their defeat against Brighton & Hove Albion as they host a Tottenham Hotspur, who have made their best start to the season in four years. Manchester United have won 21 of their 26 Premier League home matches against Tottenham. They have been victorious in each of the last four without conceding a goal. The home club have won the last seven Premier League games between Manchester United and Spurs, a run stretching back to March 2015. Spurs were the last team from London to win a Premier League match at Old Trafford, on New Year’s Day in 2014. Mauricio Pochettino has won 199 matches in all competitions as a manager, excluding shootouts, with 123 of these coming at Spurs. Mauricio Pochettino has already admitted he will be making a couple of changes for Tottenham Hotspur's trip to Manchester United. He has some big decisions to make in a couple of positions. First, there is goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, who hit the headlines this week after being charged with drink driving in the early hours of Friday morning. Then there is the question of whether Spurs stick with the back three which began the game against Fulham Davinson Sanchez made way on the day as Tottenham switched to the 4-3-3 that Pochettino is favouring this season. Alderweireld was Spurs' best defender in the Fulham game and he has earned the chance to start again. There are also the likes of Mousa Dembele, Erik Lamela and Harry Winks in midfield who all came off the bench against Fulham and the first two certainly helped change the game in Tottenham's favour.

(4-3-3) Lloris; Trippier, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Davies; Dembele, Dier, Eriksen; Lamela, Kane, Alli.
