Tottenham hand a start to Pape Sarr in the centre of midfield, while Pedro Porro replaces Emerson Royale at right-back.

Man Utd stick with the same XI that beat Wolves on Monday, so Alejandro Garnacho continues on the left.

Man Utd will be looking to make it six points from six at the start of the 23/24 Premier League season when they face Tottenham on Saturday.

Erik ten Hag's team got off to a winning start on Monday, as Raphael Varane's header gave them a 1-0 victory over Wolves. In truth, though, United were lucky. Wolves were the better team for large periods of the match, and they were denied what looked like an obvious penalty late on. Based on their first performance of the campaign, there is huge room for improvement at Old Trafford. Still, Ten Hag will be pleased that his side found a way to win even though they were well below their best. 

One area that let United down last season was their away form, particularly against the stronger sides in the division. In visits to teams that finished in the top nine, United picked up a league-low one point. That is a terrible record for anyone, never mind a club with title ambitions. Sunday's trip to Tottenham gives United the chance to show they have made progress in that regard.

Spurs were held to a 2-2 draw by Brentford last time out. Not only was it their first Premier League game under new manager Ange Postecoglou, it was also their first without Harry Kane following the England captain's move to Bayern Munich. With that in mind, there were plenty of positives for Tottenham to take from the display, although concerns about their defensive solidity remain.

This is a season of transition for Spurs, who will have to adapt to life after Kane as well as to Postecoglou's methods. A victory over a fellow big-six side would be invaluable in terms of raising spirits and fostering an optimistic outlook. We are still early in the season but this is an important match for Tottenham.
