Tottenham Hotspur fans certainly have one or two reasons to be excited when Ange Postecoglou’s side face Manchester United today.

As well as enjoying their climb up the table, Tottenham fans may also be treated to a certain debut this afternoon.

Spurs have players returning from injury and some heading in the other direction, it’s been an incredibly busy month.

But with deals for Radu Dragusin and Timo Werner now sealed and delivered, we’re predicting that the latter will be handed his full debut.

Postecoglou is expected to make three changes to his Tottenham side when Man United come to visit today, including the welcome return of a certain defensive duo.

Starting at the back, and as you guessed, Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero may finally be reunited.

Van de Ven seems very likely to start, even if there’s more uncertainty over Romero.

Postecoglou did mention that a start may be too soon for the Argentine, which would mean either Radu Dragusin or Emerson Royal comes in.

The former should be in the squad if he receives a work permit in time, which will be a big boost.

Ange Postecoglou could hand Timo Werner his Tottenham debut vs Man United

With Yves Bissouma and Pape Matar Sarr currently away at AFCON, Rodrigo Bentancur and Oliver Skipp should continue in the middle.

The duo played alongside each other in Spurs’ FA cup win against Burnley last Friday, and should be in place for the next month or so.

However, with Giovani Lo Celso dropping out because of injury, it seems that £45m Timo Werner could make his debut.

The move is going to be a fascinating one to watch, ‘electric‘ Werner should excel in a Postecoglou side.

The manager is known for instilling confidence in his players, something the German has lacked over the years.

And in Postecoglou’s fast and free-flowing Tottenham team, fans would love to see Werner make an instant impact against United.

Otherwise, it’s an unchanged front line with Dejan Kulusevski likely to return to the middle. 

As will be the case in every game Son Heung-min misses whilst at the Asian Cup, Richarlison will really have a point to prove.

The Brazilian is improving all of the time under his new boss, and will want to prove that his side can rely on him.
