Old Trafford hosts this Premier League clash on 7 February 2026, with kickoff at 12:30 UTC. Manchester United sit 4th on 41 points, pushing for Champions League qualification, while Tottenham are 14th with 29 points and in need of a result to pull away from the lower half.
Manchester United availability
Erik ten Hag will be without defender P. Dorgu, sidelined by a hamstring injury, and centre-back M. de Ligt, who misses out with a back problem, weakening United’s defensive depth. In midfield, M. Mount is also ruled out with a knock. However, key attacking threats remain available, led by top scorer B. Mbeumo, who has delivered 8 league goals and 1 assist, and chief creator Bruno Fernandes, outstanding with 5 goals and 12 assists in the Premier League this season.
Tottenham availability
Tottenham travel with a lengthy absentee list. In midfield, R. Bentancur (muscle injury) and creator J. Maddison (knee injury) are out, while young talent L. Bergvall is sidelined by an ankle problem. At the back, K. Danso (toe injury), B. Davies (ankle injury) and Pedro Porro (muscle injury) are all unavailable. In attack, top scorer Richarlison, who has 7 goals and 3 assists, is a major loss with a hamstring injury. M. Kudus, usually a key supplier with 2 goals and 5 assists, is also missing through a muscle injury, and D. Kulusevski is absent with a knee issue. D. Spence is questionable due to a calf injury.
Impact summary
United’s core attacking output, particularly from Mbeumo and Fernandes, remains intact, giving the hosts a relatively healthy frontline. Tottenham, by contrast, are deprived of significant goal and assist contributors in Richarlison, Kudus and Maddison, leaving their creative and scoring burden heavily shifted onto the remaining forwards and playmakers.
