Dead last place. The foot of the table. The absolute bottom side. 20th place out of 20. That is exactly where Tottenham Hotspur sit right now. That’s the bad news for Roberto de Zerbi and his men. The good news (other than the fact that there is literally nowehere else to go but up) is the squad is healing up. The injured players are returning, and the recently returned are reaching full fitness. Could Mohammed Kudus make the first team on Saturday at Manchester United?

The former West Ham United winger/attacking midfielder was a very key player for Spurs last season, when he was healthy. But unfortunately, that was not often the case.
Looking beyond Mo Kudus, could former Manchester City duo Savio and Omar Marmoush make the cut for selection? Actually, in our projection, sorry, but no. We did pick the former, but left off the latter.
We just see Dominick Solanke, who has been banging in the goals lately, leading the line.
Tottenham Predicted Starting XI at Manchester United
Antonin Kinsky; Archie Gray, Marcos Senesi, Micky van de Ven, Andy Robertson; Sandro Tonali, Conor Gallagher; Mo Kudus, Mateus Fernandes, Savio; Dominic Solanke
