Tottenham team news: Predicted Spurs line up vs Man Utd – Pochettino to stick with 3-4-2-1

Mauricio Pochettino could name an unchanged Tottenham line-up for his side’s trip to face Manchester United on Monday night.

The Argentine boss has the vast majority of his squad back to full fitness after a string of injury problems, and will name another strong XI at Old Trafford.

Spurs’ World Cup heroes were given extended breaks, meaning they lacked a pre-season, but having come through the opening two weeks unscathed, Pochettino will be aiming high.

Harry Kane, Dele Alli and Kieran Trippier were among the stars whose returns were delayed by Russia 2018, yet all have scored in the fledgling Premier League season.

Victor Wanyama, Cameron Carter-Vickers, Justin Foyth and Josh Onomah will remain sidelined, though none would have been expected to start against Jose Mourinho’s men.

Son Heung-Min will continue his absence due to South Korea’s progression through the Asian Games, but everyone else is fit, ready and in contention to play.

Lucas Moura’s goal in the 3-1 victory over Fulham at Wembley could be enough to keep his place in the team, with Christian Eriksen dropping deeper in midfield.

Pochettino is likely to stick to a 3-4-2-1 formation, with Alli and Kane joining Lucas in the attacking trio.

United target Toby Alderweireld is likely to start alongside Jan Vertonghen and Davinson Sanchez for the visitors.

Belgium star Alderweireld has returned to first team contention after being frozen out in 2018/19, though he could still be on the move before the end of the season with his contract running down.

Mourinho was reportedly keen on the centre-back during the summer transfer window, and the recent performances of Eric Bailly and Victor Lindelof have reinforced the need for improvements.

Take a look through the pictures below to reveal the predicted Tottenham line up to face Manchester United.
