Tottenham Hotspur finally have a fully fit squad to pick from, as the Premier League gets closer to returning.

Jose Mourinho no longer has the headache of having to find cover for Harry Kane, or Heung-Min Son.

The Spurs boss, for practically the first time, has all his key players available to him and Tottenham should be much stronger for it.

Mourinho’s only selection dilemma now comes over who should make his first starting line-up.

Tottenham could take a giant step closer to the top four if they are able to beat Manchester United, so it will be important that he gets his choices correct.

It should be expected that Moussa Sissoko will come back into Tottenham’s starting line-up, while Harry Kane and Heung-Min Son will also surely start.

Giovani Lo Celso may well hold on to his place in midfield with Dele Alli suspended, and Harry Winks looks likely to feature in the centre of the park.

That could mean that Steven Bergwijn has to drop to the bench, but the £27 million man (BBC Sport) could still have an important role to play as an impact sub.

Spurs predicted line up: Hugo Lloris; Serge Aurier, Davinson Sanchez, Toby Alderweireld, Ben Davies; Moussa Sissoko, Harry Winks; Heung-Min Son, Giovani Lo Celso, Lucas Moura; Harry Kane.
