Manchester United are looking to continue their unbeaten run in the Premier League by getting back to winning ways against Tottenham Hotspur.
After Manchester United’s 2-2 draw with Nottingham Forest, Ruben Amorim missed a glorious opportunity to make it four consecutive wins.
The Red Devils had to settle for a point against Sean Dyche’s side after Amad scored a late equaliser, but the objective now is to get back to winning ways by taking three points from Tottenham.

Amorim is not expected to make too many changes to his team because results have improved. United have struggled to win games consistently under the Portuguese coach, but that did not stop them from winning every Premier League match in October.
It would bode well if United could add three points to the board before the November international break.

With just Lisandro Martinez ruled out for the trip to Tottenham, Amorim has plenty of options to select from.
Here is our predicted line-up in the 3-4-2-1 formation.
Goalkeeper
Senne Lammens has hardly put a foot out of place since making his debut in United’s 2-0 win over Sunderland. It was the game that started the unbeaten run, and long may it continue.
Hopefully, the 23-year-old can record his second clean sheet for the club against Tottenham.
I’m not going to go overboard with praise but I do believe Senne Lammens deserves his flowers.
He has been very impressive since his debut and it has given both the team and fans a lot of confidence. 👏🏼 pic.twitter.com/JmqJFyTt61

Defence
Although Harry Maguire has another week of training under his belt, after missing a few games due to injury, Amorim is unlikely to make any changes in defence. Leny Yoro, Matthijs de Ligt and Luke Shaw are the best options for the back-three right now.
At wing-back, Amorim could make a change with Patrick Dorgu replacing Diogo Dalot on the left. Amad should keep his place on the right flank because of the difference he makes in the final third.
Who should start at left wing-back against Tottenham Hotspur? Midfield
Amorim believes Kobbie Mainoo deserves more game time, but he won’t be dropping Casemiro or Bruno Fernandes anytime soon. Neither player should need a rest because they only had one game per week to focus on.
Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha have already made the number 10 roles their own, although they are versatile enough to play other roles whenever it’s necessary.
Should Kobbie Mainoo start against Tottenham Hotspur? Striker
The draw against Forest wasn’t one of Benjamin Sesko’s best games, but he isn’t going to familiarise himself with English football or his new teammates by sitting on the bench. His link-up play is improving by the week, and it’s only a matter of time before he adds to his tally of two goals.
