What TV channel live Tottenham vs Man United?
Sky Sports have the rights, but a plum fixture like this was never going to be one of the games that they donated to the free-to-air channels, so you’ll need a subscription to watch it. Every remaining league match this season will be televised due to the absence of fans from stadiums.
What is the team news?
Marcus Rashford and Paul Pogba are set to return for United after long injury lay-offs, raising the prospect of the Frenchman playing alongside Bruno Fernandes in midfield, with Rashford spearheading the attack. Phil Jones could be missing though, having sat out of a recent 11 v 11 practice match in training because of a minor injury.
Spurs also have a high-profile returnee, with Harry Kane set to take up his place in the side again. Dele Alli will not, however, becuase the FA have punished him with a one-match ban for making a racially insensitive joke about coronavirus.
