Is Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United on UK TV? Channel, Live stream details, kick-off time and squad news

Tottenham Hotspur are now preparing for their first home fixture under their new manager Ange Postecoglou following a 2-2 draw against Brentford last weekend. This will also be the first time the home fans head to the stadium knowing they will not be watching their former captain Harry Kane.

Meanwhile their upcoming opponents Manchester United will hope to continue their winning streak following a 1-0 win over Wolves. Speaking after the win, the Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes: “It was about adapting on the pitch and understanding what we had to do. The manager gave us the options on the way to press. I think on the way to press we did well, we recovered some balls.

“We could have been a little bit more aggressive sometimes and we could have gone into the goal in good situations. At the end of the day it is about getting the three points and we did. We scored a goal, won the game and that is the most important thing.”

Team news

The Argentinian centre-back Romero was taken off with a head injury just shortly after Spurs opened up their Premier League campaign with Postecoglou stating he will always adopt a cautious approach with possible concussions. It is likely that he will therefore not be available to play if the correct protocols are followed.

Romero will therefore be joined on the sidelines by Bryan Gil (groin), Rodrigo Bentancur (knee), Ryan Sessegnon (hamstring), Fraser Forster (back) and Alfie Whiteman (ankle). Tanguy Ndombele was also absent from last week’s action.

As for their upcoming opponents, Lisandro Martinez suffered a minor ankle injury against Wolves, although his centre-back partner Raphael Varane played down the severity of his colleague’s issue. Rasmus Hojlund (back), Kobbie Mainoo (ankle), Tyrell Malacia (knee), Amad Diallo (knee) and Tom Heaton (calf) will also be out of action.
