THE TEAM NEWS
TOTTENHAM
- Tottenham were struggling badly prior to the enforced break as they had gone six matches without a win which was largely due to an injury crisis and fatigue in the squad due to the busy schedule they had.
- They are boosted by the return of a number of players including Harry Kane who is expected to start after playing his last match on New Year’s Day so that gives Jose Mourinho a major boost.
- They are however without Dele Alli who picked up a one-match ban after being charged by The FA for improper conduct, while youngsters Japhet Tanganga and Troy Parrett are injured but Mourinho otherwise has the rest of his squad available.
Predicted line-up (4-2-3-1): Lloris; Aurier, Sanchez, Alderweireld, Davies; Winks, Sissoko; Bergwijn, Lo Celso, Son; Kane
Unavailable: Alli (Suspended), Parrett (Injured), Tanganga (Injured)
Doubtful:
MAN UTD
- Man Utd return to league action determined to push for the Champions League places and they have virtually a fully-fit squad available giving boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men a great chance to make a serious charge.
- With only Phil Jones nursing a minor injury, they are able to count upon Paul Pogba and Marcus Rashford as both recovered from injuries so the duo are both in with a great chance of starting this game.
- The break came at the wrong time for them as they were riding an 11-match unbeaten run across all competitions but Solskjaer will expect his men to hit the ground running against their former manager.
Predicted line-up (4-2-3-1): De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw; Pogba, Fred; James, Bruno Fernandes, Rashford; Martial
Unavailable:
Doubtful: Jones (Injured)

THE PREDICTION
Despite this being the first game back for both teams, they will both be desperate not to show any rust and there is enough on the line for both teams to ensure they are fully motivated. The race for the Champions League places is tight and this is a crunch game for both teams with defeat unthinkable, especially for Spurs. With both possessing virtually fully-fit squads and only Dele Alli missing from either side’s strongest XI, this could very well come down to which team starts the game quickest. United had great momentum before the break and they can carry that over here and upset Spurs and ex-boss Mourinho by taking all three points.
