Toby Alderweireld (hamstring), Christian Eriksen (illness), Erik Lamela (gluteus muscle), Hugo Lloris (illness) & Danny Rose (knee) - are all in contention having trained this week. Serge Aurier and Harry Winks are unlikely to be risked.

No new injury worries for United. Bailly and Zlatan continue their recoveries.

[SIZE="5"]PREDICTED TEAM

Spurs have picked up just three points in their five games against Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Man City and Man Utd this season (W1 D0 L4), fewer than any other 'big six' side in these fixtures. However, they've won the last two against United at home.

Alexis Sanchez could make his Premier League debut for Man Utd in this game; he scored in Arsenal's 2-0 win against Spurs in November, and could become the third player to score against them for two different clubs in the same Premier League season after

[SIZE="5"]MERSE SAYS

I watched United at Burnley and they were very efficient. They weren't really playing free-flowing attacking football and they struggled to break Burnley down. This will be a difficult game for them because I just can't see how they will outscore Spurs.

Jose Mourinho will go to Wembley and set his side up not to get beat. With Alexis Sanchez on board that little bit of extra quality gives them a big chance but if Tottenham can get their full strength side out they'll be very difficult to stop.

Merse.

Fair play to "Merse", he's nailed us there tbh.

Think he will go for young at full back and Herrera with Matic and let Martial pog lukaku and Alexis play forward oddly fancy us tomorrow we’re not conceding keep Harry quiet on the break pace all over 1-2 Sanchez Jesse

Terrible record away at Spurs In recent years.

Surely due a win there.

Toby Alderweild coming back for them would be big..

3-1 United

Big match - no idea re the result other than I can’t seem to see us winning. Just hope we have a go as away from home should suit us.

Out of character, but I feel quite positive about tomorrow night

2-1 spurs

3-3

Can't see us getting beat

don't often lose at Wembley in the last few years though

wouldn't be surprised if this was a draw. whl has been a pretty difficult place for us in recent years. i think the last time we won there was...2012? i recall ashley young having a good game.

I reckon we'll find it difficult to get any kind of result there this year too.
