Description

Tottenham travel to Hungary for their Europa League exploits this week to face Ferencvaros in the capital.

After a shaky start to the season, Spurs sealed their fourth consecutive win in all competitions on Sunday, with a resounding 3-0 triumph over a dejected Manchester United.

However, Ferencvaros will provide a different sort of challenge for the North London club, with the Greens looking to bounce back after defeat to Anderlecht on matchweek one in Europe.

Ange Postecoglou’s attacking options are thin at the moment, with Wilson Odobert, Richarlison and Heung-min Son all unavailable for selection.

The Australian will also be without defender Radu Dragusin after the centre-back was sent off in the eighth minute of their Europa League opener against Qarabag.

Ferencvaros vs Tottenham Hotspur – Match preview and team news

Form

Ferencvaros: DWWLW

The Hungarian champions commenced their Europa League campaign with a narrow 2-1 defeat at Anderlecht.

Pascal Jansen’s side originally were in Champions League qualifying rounds, but dropped down into Europa League qualifying after being knocked out by FC Midtjylland.

After two legs, they beat Bosnian outfit Borac Banja Luka on penalties to see them through to the league phase.

Domestically, Ferencvaros have won all of their six league games this term as they look to lift the Nemzeti Bajnoksag trophy for the seventh consecutive time.

Brazilian forward Saldanha is one to watch, with the 25-year-old netting a hat-trick off the bench against the Puskas Academy at the weekend.

Tottenham: LWWWW

Spurs will be searching for their fifth consecutive victory on Thursday night, with Ange Postecoglou’s team rediscovering their proficiency in front of goal.

Despite being numerically disadvantaged for the majority of the game, the Lilywhites managed to beat Qarabag 3-0 in North London last week.

Having also scored three goals in wins over Manchester United and Brentford in the Premier League, Spurs have arrested a rough spell of form where they couldn’t capitalise on their dominance.

If Tottenham manage to triumph over Ferencvaros and Brighton, Postecoglou will be pleased with his side’s progress going into the international break.

Last Meeting: N/A

Ferencvaros and Tottenham have never played each other.

Erik ten Hag has named his Manchester United team to face Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League.

Marcus Rashford returns to the starting side after being dropped to the bench for the goalless draw at Crystal Palace last weekend, in a decision that was criticised following the stalemate at Selhurst Park.

Matthijs de Ligt and Lisandro Martinez continue in partnership at centre-back with Harry Maguire not in the squad. The England international is ruled out due to a knock sustained in training.

In midfield, Manuel Ugarte will start alongside Kobbie Mainoo in the deeper roles with Bruno Fernandes advanced in support of Joshua Zirkzee, who retains his place. Rasmus Hojlund and Mason Mount made their returns from injury during the Europa League with FC Twente on Thursday night and begin on the bench once again.

Description

Tottenham Hotspur have named their starting team for Sunday’s clash at Manchester United with Son Heung-min ruled out.

Son was substituted during the 3-0 win over Qarabag in the Europa League on Thursday and has lost his race to feature at Old Trafford.

Ange Postecoglou suggested the North Londoners would give the South Korea international every opportunity to feature but Son has not been named in the Australian’s matchday squad.

Brennan Johnson retains his place in the forward line as the 23-year-old looks to continue his impressive form. Johnson has scored in three consecutive appearances across all competitions for Spurs, netting in wins over Coventry, Brentford and Qarabag.

The backline is as expected with Cristian Romero partnering Micky van de Ven in central defence, while Postecoglou has retained the attack-minded midfield from last weekend’s win over Brentford, with James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski starting in deeper roles.

Timo Werner has been named as Son’s replacement on the left, with Dominic Solanke leading the line.

Tottenham XI to face Manchester United

Tottenham XI: Guglielmo Vicario; Pedro Porro, Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, Destiny Udogie; Rodrigo Bentancur, Dejan Kulusevski, James Maddison; Brennan Johnson, Timo Werner, Dominic Solanke.

Tottenham travel to Manchester United on Sunday in an important fixture for the Champions League ambitions of both teams.

Ange Postecoglou’s side sit 10th in the Premier League table ahead of the game, with Manchester United behind the North Londoners on goal difference. Each will want to avoid a larger gap opening up between them and the top four with three points imperative at Old Trafford.

Spurs have showed signs of recovery from their early season inconsistencies and three consecutive wins in all competitions have increased optimism. Postecoglou’s side beat Qarabag 3-0 in their Europa League opener on Thursday night, despite being reduced to 10 men inside the opening eight minutes after Radu Dragusin’s early red card.

Spurs XI vs Manchester United – Predicted lineup and team news

Tottenham team news

Son Heung-min is a doubt for the clash after being forced off during the win over Qarabag. Postecoglou played down the severity of the South Korean’s issue and he will be given every chance to prove his fitness for the trip to Manchester.

His potential absence would be a big blow to Spurs with Son having started the season in strong form with two goals and two assists in five Premier League appearances.

Postecoglou opted for an attack-minded midfield during last weekend’s win over Brentford, with James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski operating as number eights alongside Rodrigo Bentancur. It remains to be seen whether Spurs set up as adventurously at Old Trafford, with Yves Bissouma an option to return to the XI to provide added steel.

Brennan Johnson should retain his place in the forward line after scoring in three consecutive games across all competitions.

Description

Manchester United host Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League this weekend in a huge fixture for both teams.

Unconvincing starts to the season have left both sides off the pace in the race for the top four and Champions League qualification, with Sunday’s showdown shaping as crucial even at this early stage of the campaign.

Erik ten Hag will want his team to respond to frustrating results over the last week, as the Red Devils have failed to break down Crystal Palace and FC Twente in successive draws. The Dutchman described his team’s defending against the latter as ‘unacceptable’ following the errors that led to the Dutch side’s equaliser at Old Trafford on Thursday.

Manchester United are aiming to improve on a poor recent record against Spurs. United have failed to win any of the last three meetings between the teams with their last victory over the North Londoners back in October 2022.

Manchester United team news

Manchester United have no fresh injury concerns ahead of facing Spurs on Sunday. Defensive quartet Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia, Victor Lindelof and Leny Yoro are yet to recover from their respective issues, though Ten Hag provided a positive update on the fitness of summer signing Yoro. The Frenchman has returned to the club’s training ground this week as he steps up his recovery from a broken foot.

“Yes, he is doing very well,” Ten Hag told MUTV.

“It is very pleasing that his rehab is going in the right direction and I expect him soon, but what I mean by soon, is that he is now in the right planning process.

“He is in the right spot and he will return as soon as possible into the squad and then the team training.”

Rasmus Hojlund and Mason Mount returned to action during the draw with FC Twente on Thursday. The former’s return will be welcome after United’s failure to break down then Dutch side or Crystal Palace in recent weeks.

Description

Manchester United welcome Tottenham to Old Trafford on Sunday with hopes of defeating Spurs for the first time in almost two years.

Both sides played their first Europa League game of the campaign in midweek, with the Red Devils held at home to FC Twente, whilst the Lilywhites beat Qarabag 3-0 in North London.

It should be a tight contest, considering the two sides have identical records in the Premier League so far with Spurs only above United on goal difference.

Manchester United have no fresh injuries to report as long-term absentees Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia, Leny Yoro and Victor Lindelof are yet to recover from their respective issues. Rasmus Hojlund and Mason Mount are pushing for inclusion after making their returns against Twente on Thursday.

Tottenham captain Heung-min Son is a slight doubt for Ange Postecoglou’s side after picking up a knock on Thursday night. Wilson Odobert and Richarlison remain out injured.

Manchester United vs Tottenham Hotspur – Match Preview and team news

Form

Manchester United: LWWDD

Erik ten Hag’s team are unbeaten in four games in all competitions but the general consensus is frustration after two underwhelming draws.

Last weekend in South London, Crystal Palace held them to a 0-0 stalemate with United struggling to finish a number of clear-cut chances.

The Red Devils attempt at a response in midweek resulted in a similar showing as FC Twente thwarted the exasperated hosts from claiming a victory.

Consistency has been an issue for the red half of Manchester, who will hope to bounce back in a huge clash against potential top-four rivals this weekend.

Tottenham Hotspur: LLWWW

Ange Postecoglou’s Spurs have got themselves back on track over the last week after three consecutive wins in as many competitions.

They performed admirably to defeat Azerbaijan outfit Qarabag 3-0 in the Europa League on Thursday, despite having ten men for the majority of the match due to Radu Dragusin’s eighth-minute dismissal.

That triumph, alongside wins against Brentford and Coventry, represents a change in momentum in North London after some early season unrest.

Last Meeting: Manchester United 2-2 Tottenham, Premier League, 14th January 2024

The spoils were shared last time out at Old Trafford as United and Spurs played out an entertaining 2-2 draw on a wintery January evening.

The hosts raced into a lead inside the opening five minutes, as Rasmus Hojlund fired past Guglielmo Vicario to get the Red Devils off to a flying start.

However, Tottenham responded shortly after, with Brazilian striker Richarlison rising highest from a corner to nod home the equaliser.

United would go into the interval on top as Marcus Rashford rippled the net in ruthless fashion.

After the break, Spurs came from behind for a second time as they swiftly commenced the second half with a goal inside the first minute.

Timo Werner teed up the onrushing Rodrigo Bentancur who smashed the ball past Andre Onana at the near post. Scott McTominay had a gilt-edged opportunity to win the game in stoppage time, but the midfielder miscued his header for the hosts.

Predicted Lineups

Manchester United: Onana, Mazraoui, Martinez, De Ligt, Dalot; Mainoo, Ugarte, Rashford, Fernandes, Garnacho; Zirkzee

Tottenham: Vicario, Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie, Bentancur, Bissouma, Maddison, Johnson, Solanke, Kulusevski.

Description

Tottenham Hotspur begin their European campaign with a home clash against Azerbaijan’s Qarabag in the Europa League on Thursday.

The North Londoners return to continental competition after a one-season absence and Ange Postecoglou – who has insisted he always win silverware in his second season – will be targeting this competition for success.

After a mixed start to the season, Spurs got their campaign back on track with a 3-1 win over Brentford in the Premier League last weekend. Dominic Solanke scored his first goal since joining from Bournemouth in a £65m deal in the summer, while Brennan Johnson and James Maddison were also on target.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Qarabag – Predicted lineup and team news

Tottenham Hotspur team news

Postecoglou is expected to rotate his team for the clash with Qarabag, given a huge fixture at Manchester United on the horizon.

Spurs travel to face their potential top-four rivals in the Premier League this weekend and the Australian will be keen to keep his key men fresh for that challenge at Old Trafford.

Richarlison’s absence means Dominic Solanke could retain his role at centre-forward, though academy graduate Will Lankshear, Timo Werner and Dejan Kulusevski are alternative options. The latter spent much of the pre-season campaign in an advanced role.

Wilson Odobert is another confirmed absentee for Spurs, while it’s unlikely Son Heung-min will feature against the team he scored his first goal for the club against in 2015.

Sergio Reguilon and Djed Spence are unavailable having not been included in the Europa League squad, following their returns from a loan spell at Genoa and Brentford respectively last season.

Tottenham Hotspur predicted line up

Tottenham Hotspur predicted XI: Forster; Gray, Dragusin, Van de Ven, Davies; Sarr, Bentancur, Bergvall; Johnson, Moore, Werner.

Spurs aim to build back momentum after Brentford win

Submitted by daniel on
Picture
Remote Image
Description

Tottenham Hotspur’s 3-1 win against Brentford was a much-needed one. At a time when early-season optimism was declining, three points have brought back hope for Spurs.

Ange Postecoglou has insisted it is too early to judge his side as Spurs begin their second season under his management, but an inconsistent start had increased the pressure on the Australian. With a gap opening up between the North Londoners and the top four, their come-from-behind win against Brentford can kickstart their campaign.

Key takeaways

Spurs snap winless run

Spurs snapped their run of three league games without a win after showing spirit to recover from a goal down to beat Brentford.

Bryan Mbeumo’s first-minute goal for the visitors saw Spurs get off to a nightmare start, though Postecoglou’s team bounced back to turn the game around. Dominic Solanke’s first goal for Spurs brought them level before Brennan Johnson fired in a fine finish for his second goal in a week.

Late on, James Maddison lifted in a delicate third as the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium breathed a collective sigh of relief at just the club’s second win of the Premier League game.

After the disappointment of derby defeat to Arsenal a week earlier and a fortuitous win against Coventry in the Carabao Cup, this was an ideal performance and important three points.

The psychology of football

This week we were reminded of the importance of mentality in football. Ange Postecoglou was forced to come out in defence of Brennan Johnson after the forward had been subjected to online abuse after the North London Derby defeat, admitting the Welshman’s confidence was low.

Back-to-back goals have transformed his fortunes, however, as Johnson followed a last-minute winner against Coventry with another well-taken goal against Brentford. He fired six shots on goal against the Bees, in a performance that suggested Johnson is back believing in himself. Spurs, meanwhile, silenced the ‘Spursy’ jibes with the mental resilience to fight back from Mbeumo’s early opener.

Vicario performances a concern

Guglielmo Vicario was being hailed as one of the signings of the season in 2023/24. The Italian’s shot-stopping caught the eye following his unheralded arrival from Empoli, though weaknesses in Vicario’s game were beginning to be exploited as the season progressed.

Particularly vulnerable from set-pieces, he has started the season in erratic form and was fortunate to escape punishment after seemingly handling the ball outside his penalty area against Brentford.

The 27-year-old continues to pull off excellent stops, though the lack of commanding penalty box presence is an area other teams will look to expose.

Maddison back to his best?

James Maddison produced arguably his best performance in a Spurs shirt since the ankle injury that derailed his superb start in North London last season. Operating in a deeper role as a number eight Maddison, to use the old cliche, ‘felt like a new signing’.

He dropped deep to get on the ball, picked passes forward, and carried the ball confidently through lines. The 27-year-old recorded 87 touches, three key passes, one big chance created, seven successful dribbles, 14 ground duels won, four fouls drawn, and three tackles.

Spurs will miss Bentancur if and when he is banned

Another player in top form at the weekend, Rodrigo Bentancur provided a reminder of how important he can be for Spurs when fit and on-song.

The Uruguayan was impressive as the most defence-minded midfielder in Postecoglou’s team, as he made three interceptions and two tackles, and shut down Brentford’s threat in transitions.

Bentancur, however, has already picked up three bookings in four Premier League appearances this season. It’s the joint-most in the division and the South American is, quite quickly, approaching a suspension. He’ll be a big miss if he collects a ban, despite the strong form of Yves Bissouma this season.

Solanke will score goals for Spurs

Ange Postecoglou was keen to shut down talk around Dominic Solanke’s start at Spurs. The club-record arrival picked up an ankle injury on debut and had failed to score in his first three appearances.

However, that duck was broken with the vital equaliser against Brentford as Solanke reacted quickest to a rebound to turn home. The 26-year-old scored 19 league goals last season and, in a team that will create more chances than Bournemouth, will score goals in North London.

It’s arguably the chances he missed against Brentford that have most convinced he can regularly fire in a Spurs shirt, with his movement leading to a high volume of chances. Up and running, his first for the club is a welcome confidence boost.

What’s next for Spurs?

Sours open their Europa League campaign with a home clash against Azerbaijan Premier League champions Qarabag on Thursday, September 26th. Back in Europe, the demand for Tottenham tickets has been high after a lack of continental competition in 2023/24.

The clash with Qarabag is followed by a huge showdown with Manchester United at the weekend, as Postecoglou’s team travel to Old Trafford to face potential top-four rivals.

Description

After a year without European football, Tottenham return to Europa League action as they welcome Qarabag to North London.

Spurs will be looking for their third consecutive win in all competitions following their 2-1 victory against Coventry City in the Carabao Cup and a 3-1 triumph over Brentford in the Premier League.

Qarabag find themselves in the Europa League after falling at the final hurdle in Champions League qualification. The Azerbaijan Premier League champions were comfortably knocked out by Dinamo Zagreb, as the Croatian outfit scored five times without reply.

Ange Postecoglou will be without Richarlison and Wilson Odobert through injury. Djed Spence is also not involved due to the defender’s omission from the Europa League squad.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Qarabag – Match Preview and team news

Form

Tottenham: WLLWW

A hard-fought victory over Brentford at the weekend eased concerns from the fanbase over the direction of the side under Ange Postecoglou.

Dominic Solanke netted his first goal for Spurs, whilst James Maddison and Brennan Johnson also got themselves on the scoresheet to earn a valuable three points.

Johnson has found form and built on his late winner against Coventry City in the Carabao Cup with an impressive goal against the Bees as he fired home from a tight angle.

The Europa League appears to be a realistic avenue for Tottenham to break their trophy drought as the North Londoners target their first silverware for 17 years.

Qarabag: LLWWW

The Azerbaijani champions have commenced their fourth successive title defence in customary fashion, as they occupy top spot after six games.

Qarabag won the league by a staggering 25 points last campaign with second-placed Zira nowhere near close enough to worry them.

That aforementioned loss to Dinamo Zagreb is a rare blemish on their form and Turan Tovuz are the only other club to inflict defeat on the Baku-based outfit this term.

Last Meeting: Qarabag 0-1 Tottenham Hotspur, Europa League, 26th November 2015

Tottenham were the victors the last time the clubs met with a slender win in Azerbaijan.

It was the penultimate game of the 2015/16 Europa League group phase and a close-range goal from Harry Kane was enough for Spurs success in Baku.

In the reverse fixture, Tottenham beat Qarabag 3-1 at White Hart Lane in a fixture that saw Heung-Min Son net his first goal in Lilywhite.

Nine years and 163 goals later, the South Korean has cemented himself into Spurs folklore and their captain will be searching for a similar home performance this time round.

Mauricio Pochettino’s side eventually exited the competition at the round of 16 stage as they lost 5-1 on aggregate to Borussia Dortmund.

Predicted Lineups

Tottenham: Vicario, Gray, Dragusin, Van de Ven, Davies; Bissouma, Sarr, Bergvall; Moore Solanke, Werner.

Qarabag: Kochalski; Silva, Medina, Mustafazada, Bayramov; Julio Romao, Isayev, Benzia, Kashchuk, Andrade; Juninho.
