Manchester United will hope to shirk the disappointment of Sunday’s goalless stalemate with Newcastle with a statement win against Tottenham on Wednesday.
The hosts have already seen off league leaders Arsenal and FA Cup winners Liverpool at Old Trafford this season but the visit of Spurs will be a great litmus test for how far Erik ten Hag has progressed his side in their quest for the top four.
He is expected to bring Anthony Martial back into the fold after he sat out the draw with Newcastle. The Frenchman could be joined by ex-Tottenham playmaker Christian Eriksen who also missed the match, his absence due to illness.

United go into the game unbeaten in three matches while Tottenham are on a three-game winning streak having not lost in four outings. They will be without Richarlison, though, after he picked up a worrying ankle injury in Saturday’s 2-0 win over Everton.
Both starting XIs will be lining up at a slightly later time than usual on Wednesday, with the match set to kick-off at 8.15pm as opposed to the usual 7.45pm kick-off times for Premier League matches.
This is because Amazon is showing this matchday’s set of top-flight fixtures, which start with Brighton vs Nottingham Forest on Tuesday and ends with Leicester vs Leeds on Thursday.The broadcaster will be showing games to all who have a Prime subscription and has dictated that United’s next match kick off at a later time, as is the case with Leeds against Leicester and Crystal palace vs Wolves on Tuesday.
