Man Utd vs Tottenham - Premier League: TV channel, team news, lineups and prediction

Manchester United host Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday afternoon in arguably the biggest game of the split Gameweek 21 in the Premier League.

It's been a contrasting January transfer window for these two sides so far, with the only deal of note at Old Trafford being Jadon Sancho's return to Borussia Dortmund. As for Spurs, Timo Werner has arrived on loan from RB Leipzig, while Radu Dragusin has come in from Genoa to add some much-needed depth at the back.

Both teams secured progression to the fourth round of the FA Cup last time out but this game is always a tough one to predict. Tottenham have enjoyed the better season so far but are dealing with some key personnel absences, while Man Utd seem to have every type of result and performance in their locker at all times.

Man Utd team news

Man Utd hope to welcome a few players back from injury very soon, with Erik ten Hag revealing Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw and Christian Eriksen could all be back for Sunday's game. Antony and Amad Diallo are also contenders to make a return.

The same cannot be said for Mason Mount, who is getting close to recovering but unavailable this weekend. Anthony Martial is also out, but Casemiro and Lisandro Martinez are back in training and available for selection.

Andre Onana is expected to play and then jet off for the Africa Cup of Nations, but Sofyan Amrabat has already departed for Morocco duty.

Man Utd predicted lineup vs Tottenham

Man Utd predicted lineup vs Tottenham (4-2-3-1): Onana; Dalot, Varane, Maguire, Shaw; McTominay, Mainoo; Garnacho, Fernandes, Rashford; Hojlund.

Tottenham team news

Tottenham fans could get their first sights of new signings Werner and Dragusin at Old Trafford, but there are major holes in their team elsewhere.

Spurs are the major losers from the Asian Cup and the Africa Cup of Nations starting, as Son Heung-min, Pape Sarr and Yves Bissouma are all absent. After sitting on the bench for the FA Cup win over Burnley, Micky van de Ven should start with Ben Davies, himself injured in that Game, dropping out.

James Maddison is still out, along with Ivan Perisic, Manor Solomon and Alejo Veliz. There is a chance Cristian Romero makes his return which could jeopardise a potential debut for Dragusin, while Giovani Lo Celso might also be back in the fray but is a major doubt.

Man Utd vs Tottenham score prediction

Both teams have found it incredibly hard to field consistent starting lineups throughout the season, resulting in some erratic form and performances. However, Tottenham certainly look the more confident out of the two.

They'll have two new players who want to hit the ground running and the returning Van de Ven will be keen to put in a big display. Man Utd should have a stronger team than last week, but Tottenham's intensity could prove too much for this passive Ten Hag team.

Prediction: Man Utd 1-2 Tottenham
