Here's the Tottenham Hotspur team that Ange Postecoglou has selected to face Manchester United in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon

Ange Postecoglou has been forced into one key change as Tottenham take on Manchester United in the Premier League on Sunday.

Spurs arrive at Old Trafford off the back of three wins in eight days with their last-gasp Carabao Cup victory at Coventry City, followed up by a dominant Premier League win against Brentford and then their 3-0 triumph with 10 men for much of the game against Qarabag in the Europa League.

Later in that encounter, Tottenham captain Son Heung-min had to come off with a hamstring issue and the South Korean star has not been passed fit to play in this latest game against United.

In his place comes Timo Werner, with the German attacker needing to improve on his uninspiring cameos so far this season if he is to make a mark on this game.

Elsewhere, the players rested from the European match come into the team with Postecoglou select the side that started against Brentford, barring Son, back in action. Will Lankshear joins fellow academy youngster Mikey Moore on the bench to boost Postecoglou's attacking numbers.

Here is the team that Postecoglou has selected: Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Kulusevski, Bentancur, Maddison; Johnson, Solanke, Werner. Subs: Forster, Dragusin, Spence, Gray, Sarr, Bissouma, Bergvall, Moore, Lankshear.
