Manchester United will host Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, January 13 at Old Trafford as Erik ten Hag and his men will be hoping to turn things around in pursuit of European football next season.

The 20-time Premier League champions have been inconsistent judging by their recent performances in the league.

Man United only managed to win one of their last three league games, a result that placed them in 8th position in the Premier League table.

Tottenham Hotspur, on the other hand, will be hoping to make it three straight wins in all competitions when they resume their Premier League season away to Manchester United on Sunday.

The London club side secured their place in the fourth round of the FA Cup following a 1-0 triumph over Burnley at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Spurs defeated Bournemouth 3-1 in their last league game, and they currently sit fifth in the standing with six points behind league leaders Liverpool.

Man United vs Tottenham team news

Man United could also be without some big names, with at least 12 players confirmed as unavailable for Monday night's Emirates FA Cup victory at Wigan Athletic.

Eriksen and Luke Shaw, who have been out since Man United were defeated by West Ham United, are hoping to return this weekend.

Harry Maguire has not yet been ruled out, but Mason Mount may have to wait until later in the month for his return.

Lisandro Martinez and Casemiro have been spotted in training at Carrington but Sunday's game might come too soon for the experienced duo.

Victor Lindelof is ruled out with a groin crisis, Anthony Martial is currently facing uncertainty at Old Trafford and Tyrell Malacia is yet to make an appearance this season, following a knee injury.

Sofyan Amrabat is on international duty with Morocco at AFCON, while the situation of Andre Onana is expected to be confirmed soon after he was called up for Cameroon but allowed to play against Wigan.

Hannibal (Tunisia) and Amad (Ivory Coast) are also not going to be involved in Sunday's game due to their invitation to the international tournament with their respective countries.

Tottenham Hotspur

Manager Ange Postecoglou has strengthened his squad with the addition of loan signing Timo Werner, the loss of key man Son is an undoubted setback to the North Londoners.

Senegal International, Pape Sarr won't be available as he'll be representing his nation at AFCON, and Mali midfielder Yves Bissouma is currently serving a suspension.

James Maddison is edging closer to a comeback but Cristian Romero, Ben Davies, Ivan Perisic, Alejo Veliz, and Manor Solomon are set to miss out.

Micky van de Ven, Ryan Sessegnon, and Rodrigo Bentancur were all in the squad for the FA Cup win over Burnley last time out and could also feature for the London team this weekend.
