Tottenham Hotspur won their Europa League fixture against Tromso last night and will look to bounce back in the premier league when they host Man United at White Hart Lane.
United are in fantastic form after humiliating Leverkusen in Germany and a defeat for Spurs will be their third consecutive in the league.
Andre Villas Boas’s men have already lost to West Ham and Newcastle United at White Hart Lane and another defeat on Sunday will put immense pressure on the Portuguese manager.
As far as the lineup is concerned, Soldado is likely to start as a lone striker up front, however for now it will be better to use Adebayor.
Lennon was one of the better players against City and Townsend has been impressive so far and both are expected to start. Lennon played as a left winger in wins against Hull and Aston Villa and will have to shift there to make way for Townsend.
With Eriksen not yet fit, Holtby is again likely to play behind the striker. However last night’s best player Dembele can be utilized there too. Nevertheless, Spurs should look to attack United and hence the Belgian should start with Paulinho in the center.
Here is Spurs possible starting XI vs Manchester United.

the soldier wont score without balls whipped in the box . play the wingers on their natural foot to get balls in the box low and hard and quick and he will pounce on them. united are there for the taking.
Hope that ant the team , especially. With naughton at left back he was crap at right back against tromso and they are not the best I would rather chirchies play there or kaboul than him also I think dembele should play further forward and put holtby in beside Sandro and put Lennon , towsend or lamela on there proper sides all this playing with wingers on there wrong sides is not working why keep doing it give soldado the supply he needs COYS!
You think Holtby will start after the City game? He showed that at the moment he has no place in this side, at least not playing the bigger clubs.
Start Sigurdsson or Lamela as AM. The maybe we have a chance.
play lennon on right and townsend on the left . ade playing behind the soldier with sandro and paulinho in the centre. back 4 of walker kaboul chris and verts
11 goals in 12 games… £100 mil poached players
= joke of epl.
If holtby starts the game im going to go mad… he makes no impact and isnt good enough to be first team… we should play dembele or lamela attacking mid n capoue paulinho as dms with lennon on the left and townsend on the right or vice versa either way NO HOLTBY OR DAWSON they bring the level of the team down smh
