Tottenham vs Man Utd – Premier League: TV channel, team news, lineups & prediction
Tottenham will hope that Thursday’s meeting with Manchester United will serve as a chance to end their current crisis.
Ryan Mason has been placed in interim charge again following Cristian Stellini’s dismissal off the back Sunday’s 6-1 hammering by Newcastle.
Stellini had called it the ‚biggest week‘ of Tottenham’s season with fellow top-four rivals United and Liverpool still to come.
The Red Devils return to London in good spirits after advancing to the FA Cup final via penalties against Brighton while Spurs‘ Tyneside mauling was ongoing.

Tottenham team news
What a quiet few days it’s been at Tottenham.
Mason will address the media on Wednesday and it is likely that he will make several personnel and tactical changes.
He is expected to be without Emerson Royal, Ryan Sessegnon, Yves Bissouma and Rodrigo Bentancur, while Hugo Lloris is also a doubt after picking up an injury in Sunday’s loss at Newcastle.
Lucas Moura is available again after serving a three-match suspension.
Tottenham predicted lineup (4-3-3): Forster; Tanganga, Romero, Dier, Davies; Skipp, Sarr, Hojbjerg; Kulusevski, Kane, Son.
Current Premier League table, top scorers & upcoming fixtures
In the red corner, Ten Hag will hope to have Scott McTominay available for selection again after missing the last few games with a minor injury.
Raphael Varane is still a few weeks away from returning and Bruno Fernandes will be assessed on an ankle problem picked up in Sunday’s FA Cup win against Brighton.
Alejandro Garnacho isn’t too far away from returning, though Lisandro Martinez and Donny van de Beek are out for the season.
Club captain Harry Maguire is back in the fold having completed a domestic suspension.
Man Utd predicted lineup (4-2-3-1): De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Shaw, Dalot; Casemiro, Eriksen; Antony, Weghorst, Rashford; Martial.
It would take a minor miracle for Tottenham to get anything out of this game, even if stranger things have happened this season alone.
An early goal for United could see the atmosphere turn toxic at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Spurs can at least rest a little easier knowing United aren’t the most prolific of scorers despite their talent. Then again, the same could have been said about Newcastle until a few days ago.
Prediction: Tottenham 0-2 Man Utd
