When Tottenham Hotspur face Manchester United today, their fans have plenty of reasons to be excited. Not only have they been enjoying their climb up the table, but they may also witness a certain debut this afternoon.
The past month has been incredibly busy for Spurs, with players returning from injury while others head in the opposite direction. With deals for Radu Dragusin and Timo Werner now sealed and delivered, it’s expected that the latter will be handed his full debut.
Ange Postecoglou is set to make three changes to his squad, including the return of a certain defensive duo. If he receives a work permit in time, Radu Dragusin should be in the squad, which would be a big boost.
With Yves Bissouma and Pape Matar Sarr currently away at AFCON, Rodrigo Bentancur and Oliver Skipp are expected to continue in the middle. However, with Giovani Lo Celso out due to injury, it seems that Timo Werner could make his debut.
The move is going to be fascinating to watch, as Werner should excel in a Postecoglou side. The manager is known for instilling confidence in his players, something the German has lacked over the years. Fans would love to see Werner make an instant impact against United in Postecoglou’s fast and free-flowing Tottenham team.
Otherwise, the front line remains unchanged, with Dejan Kulusevski likely to return to the middle. As Son Heung-min is away at the Asian Cup, Richarlison will have a point to prove and will want to show that his side can rely on him.
