Manchester United have lifted themselves into the Champions League places with a run of three straight Premier League wins and they will be full of confidence heading into this weekend’s round of matches.
The Red Devils host Tottenham in what should be an intriguing contest at Old Trafford, with the match set to kick-off at 12.30pm on Saturday and it will be shown live on TNT Sports in the UK.
Man Utd predicted lineup vs Tottenham
Man Utd (4-2-3-1): Lammens; Dalot, Maguire, Martinez, Shaw; Casemiro, Mainoo; Diallo, Fernandes, Cunha; Mbeumo.
Man Utd team news vs Tottenham
Mason Mount picked up a knock in training this week and will be assessed ahead of kick-off, but United will be without injured duo Patrick Dorgu and Matthijs de Ligt, who remain sidelined with respective thigh and back injuries.
Interim boss Michael Carrick is unlikely to make too many changes to his starting lineup having hit upon a winning formula, but Benjamin Sesko is pushing hard for a start having come off the bench to score the winner against Fulham last Sunday.
Other than that, United look to have a clean bill of health for the visit of Spurs.

Carrick out to make it four from four
Most of the Manchester United chat continues to be about Carrick’s chances of getting the Old Trafford manager’s job on a full-time basis, but his players have done their talking on the pitch and they are doing his long-term prospects no harm at all.
United have won all three matches since Carrick replaced Ruben Amorim in the dugout last month, and victories over Manchester City, Arsenal and Fulham have lifted the Red Devils into the Premier League’s top four.
They did ride their luck in the 3-2 win over Fulham last Sunday but there has been a clear improvement in all aspects on the pitch with Carrick in charge and they are looking to win their fourth straight league match for the first time in almost two years.
However, they haven’t won any of their last six meetings with Tottenham and the Londoners will have been lifted by their battling draw with Manchester City last week.
