Full Tottenham squad to face Manchester United in Premier League fixture

Manchester United are set to face Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday night as Erik ten Hag looks to close the gap on the top four. Both teams are in the midst of a rebuild with the aim of securing Champions League football this season but as of this point, Antonio Conte's side are much further along.

Tottenham currently sit third in the table with 23 points, seven points ahead of United, though it should be noted that Ten Hag's side have a game in hand. So it is vital that the Dutchman's team get a win at Old Trafford to close the gap.

However, Tottenham won't make it easy for United and they have a strong starting XI with good squad depth. Though in his most recent press conference, Conte told the media who would be missing from the clash.

The Spurs boss said: "Richy (Richarlison) has his injury, it's not a serious injury, but he needs a bit of time to recover. But, for sure, it's not a serious injury. He was really worried after the game against Everton."

"Deki (Dejan Kulusevski) is another player who needs a bit of time to recover. The medical department are working in a strong way to give me the possibility to have an important player in my choice, but we have to wait. Lucas (Moura) is available.
