Tottenham XI vs Manchester United: Confirmed team news, predicted lineup, injury latest for Europa League final | OneFootball

Ange Postecoglou faces selection quandaries ahead of the biggest tie of his Spurs career

Dejan Kulusevski, James Maddison (both knee) and Lucas Bergvall (ankle) will miss the meeting with Manchester United, leaving Postecoglou with a creative void at No10.

Pape Matar Sarr is fit after being forced off in Friday's 2-0 defeat to Aston Villa with discomfort in his back and could line-up in a midfield three ahead of Rodrigo Bentancur and Yves Bissouma.

Postecoglou, though, used a 4-4-2 system at Villa Park, with Odobert and Mathys Tel up front, which may hint at his plans for United.

With a slight change of system, Richarlison could partner Dominic Solanke in a front two, with Brennan Johnson and fit-again captain Heung-min Son on the wings. Solanke's ability to hold up the ball and bring others into play make him a potentially good fit to drop into the No10 position.

The rest of Postecoglou's XI is easy to predict, assuming no-one in the squad is carrying a knock.

Guglielmo Vicario, Pedro Porro, Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven and Destiny Udogie are set to return to the side to make up a back five, with Bentancur and Bissouma expected to be ahead of them.

If, as seems unlikely, Son is deemed best as an impact sub, Richarlison or Tel could play from the left but the Korean declared himself fit and "ready" to go on Tuesday, with Postecoglou describing his availability as "massive".

Spurs predicted XI (4-4-2): Vicario; Porro, Romero, van de Ven, Udogie; Johnson, Bentancur, Bissouma, Son; Solanke, Richarlison.
