Tottenham face Manchester United this weekend in a game that has been dubbed in some circles as ‘El Sackico’.

Spurs and United come into this game in poor form. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s job is under serious threat at Manchester United, while Nuno Espirito Santo also hasn’t had the best of starts in north London.

Both teams head into this game knowing that it’s vitally important to come away with three points, but if Tottenham are to do that, Nuno has to get his team selection spot on.

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

We think that Nuno will make six changes from the team that beat Burnley in the Carabao Cup this week.

Hugo Lloris returns in goal, while Sergio Reguilon and Eric Dier return to the backline.

Oliver Skipp retains his place in the midfield, and he’s once again joined by Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.

Tanguy Ndombele, Heung-Min Son and Lucas Moura return to the side, while there are no prizes for guessing who starts up top as Harry Kane is given another chance to end this poor run of form.
