Tottenham’s squad has been stretched by injuries, but key players like Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero are back in the defense.

• Manchester United are missing Mason Mount, Patrick Dorgu, and Matthijs de Ligt due to injury — but Carrick has kept his XI stable.

• Tottenham have been dealing with a long injury list, but the return of Van de Ven and Romero offers defensive solidity.

Key Tactical Details That Matter

1. Midfield Pressure

Casemiro and Fernandes will be tested by Tottenham’s aggressive press. If United lose control centrally, Spurs will dominate territory.

2. Space Behind Tottenham’s Defence

Tottenham’s high line leaves space. Rashford and Højlund are likely to be targeted with early, vertical passes.

3. Set-Pieces

Both teams have conceded from dead-ball situations this season. Corners and wide free kicks could be decisive.
