Tottenham XI vs Manchester United: Confirmed team news, predicted lineup and injury latest for Premier League

Spurs crisis finally easing with as many as six players potentially returning to Ange Postecoglou’s squad

Tottenham are set to welcome back goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario after more than two months out with a fractured foot, with the Italian set to come straight into Ange Postecoglou’s starting XI to face Manchester United at the expense of Antonin Kinsky.

Left-back Destiny Udogie and playmaker James Maddison are also set to return to the Spurs squad but are more likely to be on the bench, while wingers Brennan Johnson, Timo Werner and Wilson Odobert are also training but may not be ready to start.

Postecoglou has decisions to make at centre-back and in midfield, with Rodrigo Bentancur, Yves Bissouma, Pape Matar Sarr, Lucas Bergvall and Archie Gray all competing for three positions in the middle of the park for Tottenham.

Gray could also play at the back, although January signing Kevin Danso and Ben Davies seem more likely to get the nod there.

Dejan Kulusevski could also start at No8 or on the right wing, with Postecoglou also needing to decide which of Heung-min Son and Mathys Tel lead the line.

Micky van de Ven (hamstring), Cristian Romero (thigh), Dominic Solanke (knee), Richarlison (calf) and Radu Dragusin (knee) are all still sidelined.

Predicted Tottenham XI (4-3-3): Vicario; Porro, Danso, Davies, Spence; Bentancur, Sarr, Bergvall; Kulusevski, Son, Tel

Doubts: Johnson, Werner, Odobert

Injured: Van de Ven, Romero, Dragusin, Richarlison, Solanke
