Thomas Frank has made some changes from the team that started in midweek but goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario keeps his place. Micky van de Ven lines-up in the Tottenham back four alongside Cristian Romero.
Djed Spence is recalled to start at left-back with Destiney Udogie making way while Pedro Porro keeps his place at right-back. Palhinha is handed a recall in midfield with Rodrigo Bentancur making way.
Brennan Johnson keeps his place in the Spurs attack as does Xavi Simons. However, Wilson Odobert drops out with Richarlison recalled to support Randal Kolo Muani in the final third for Tottenham.
As for Man Utd, they will be looking to continue their recent good run of results having climbed up to 8th in the table with 10 points from their last four matches. They were held to a 2-2 draw away to Nottingham Forest last weekend so United will want to return to winning ways today.
Ruben Amorim sticks with Senne Lammens in goal but there are three changes in defence with Harry Magurie, Patrick Dorgu and Noussair Mazraoui coming in this afternoon. Leny Yoro and Diogo Dalot drop out with Luke Shaw and Mathias de Ligt keeping their places.
