Tottenham's lineup for their Premier League match against Manchester United on October 10 at Old Trafford includes Sandro Tonali and Lucas Bergvall as defensive midfielders, with Conor Gallagher playing ahead of them. Dejan Kulusevski has recovered enough to travel with the team but is not in the starting eleven due to his recent knee injury. The article lists several players who are injured or doubtful for the match, including Simons, Odobert, Mudryk, and Porro, along with Kulusevski being a doubt earlier.

Story summary

On Saturday, October 9, at 5:30 PM GMT (2:30 PM EST), Manchester United will host Tottenham Hotspur in Matchweek 6 of the Premier League at Old Trafford. Both teams face significant challenges; Tottenham is bottom of the table with only two points from five games, while Manchester United has taken just five points and struggles with injuries affecting up to nine first-team players.

Among Tottenham's absentees are Pedro Porro and Dejan Kulusevski due to long-term injuries, but they have several returning players like Ryan Sessegnon and Djed Spence who could bolster the defense. Manchester United, meanwhile, is hoping Carlos Balenba makes his debut after overcoming an ankle injury from Brighton.

Sky Sports will broadcast the match live in the UK starting at 5 PM GMT with coverage beginning earlier. Both teams are under pressure to secure a victory as Tottenham seeks its first win of the season and Manchester United aims to improve its league standing amidst ongoing managerial transitions and player injuries.
