Here's the Tottenham team we reckon Thomas Frank will select to face Manchester United on the Premier League in Saturday's lunchtime kick-off

Tottenham make their way up the country to Manchester United on Saturday in the Premier League looking to continue their recent upturn in form.

Thomas Frank's team are currently unbeaten in four games across all competitions after their 2-2 draw with title-chasers Manchester City last weekend and now they will tackle a United side at Old Trafford that has been turned around under caretaker boss Michael Carrick.

Spurs need to start climbing up the table themselves and a positive display in the lunchtime kick-off in Manchester will continue the momentum shifting in the right direction.

Frank has got a couple of players back fit and available in Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven with Djed Spence also close to a return and "touch and go" for the game according to the Dane.

With Van de Ven and Romero available to play at Old Trafford, the question is whether it's Joao Palhinha or Radu Dragusin who starts alongside them if Frank decides to start again with a back three and the 3-4-3 formation. Palhinha's performance in the role against City and ability to get forward could see the Portuguese getting the nod despite the Romanian's strong second half against Pep Guardiola's side.

The wing-backs pick themselves right now as Destiny Udogie and Archie Gray are the only ones currently fit while Pape Matar Sarr might get to start ahead of Yves Bissouma in midfield with Conor Gallagher after making a big difference in the second half against City.

Wilson Odobert, who was ill like Romero for the City game, still looked dangerous despite feeling under the weather and should get the green light ahead of Randal Kolo Muani and Mathys Tel to play as one of the 10s alongside Xavi Simons with the Dutchman and Dominic Solanke looking to carry straight on from their dangerous displays against City.

Here's the team we reckon Frank could go with.

(3-4-3) Vicario, Palhinha, Romero, Van de Ven; Gray, Gallagher, Sarr, Udogie; Odobert, Solanke, Xavi.
