Tottenham v Man Utd injury news as 12 players out and 4 doubts

Manchester United have the opportunity to move into third in the Premier League table this evening when they face Tottenham Hotspur on the road.

The Reds are currently fourth on 59 points but will leapfrog Newcastle United if they can bank a win against an out of form Spurs.

Erik ten Hag’s men will enter the clash off the back of their FA Cup semi-final win last weekend, and they are also enjoying a three-match winning streak in the league. Spurs on the other hand, were dealt a humiliating 6-1 defeat last time out after Newcastle made their visit to St James’ Park one to forget.

Prior to that, the Lilywhites lost 3-2 to Bournemouth, and with a Champions League spot still their main mission, they cannot afford to drop any more points.

Ahead of this top four rival clash, we’ve taken a look at the latest fitness updates coming from both clubs.
