Tottenham face Manchester United on Saturday evening in what could be a vital game in the race for the top four.

The last time these two sides met it was Nuno Espirito Santo’s last game in charge of Tottenham, and it’s fair to say a lot has changed since then.

Antonio Conte has come in at Spurs, while Ralf Rangnick is now the interim manager at Old Trafford, so this game will have a vastly different feel to it than the reverse fixture.

Of course, the last time these sides met, Conte was being strongly linked with United before ending up at Spurs.

This game may be different to their first meeting this season, but both teams will still be wanting to take away three points.

With that in mind, we’ve had a go at predicting Spurs’ starting XI for this one.

We think that Antonio Conte will make just the one change for this game.

Ryan Sessegnon drops out due to injury, with Sergio Reguilon coming in, and other than that, it’s the same team that beat Everton 5-0 last week.

The old adage goes, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, and after a 5-0 win it’s hard to really justify any switches in this XI.

Harry Kane was back on form against Everton, and Spurs will be hoping that their talisman is once again on song here.
