Manchester United v Tottenham: Premier League - live

Key events 14m ago The teams 31m ago Preamble Manchester United make two changes to their starting XI following the 1-1 draw at Fulham three years weeks ago. Leny Yoro and Amad Diallo are in for Diogo Dalot and Marcus Rashford, who both drop to the bench.

Diallo is making his first appearance of the season. Tottenham Hotspur switch out over half their team in the sepia-toned wake of the dim-and-distant 2-3 home defeat to Aston Villa.

Archie Gray, Lucas Bergvall, Destiny Udogie, Conor Gallagher, Marcos Senesi and Mohammed Kudus are recalled. Omar Marmoush, Mateus Fernandes, Rodrigo Bentancur and captain Micky van de Ven drop to the bench, while Pedro Porro and Andy Robertson are missing through injury.

The teams Manchester United: Lammens, Maguire, Martinez, Fernandes, Cunha, Yoro, Diallo, Tielemans, Mbuemo, Shaw, Mainoo. Tottenham Hotspur: Kinsky, Senesi, van Hecke, Gallagher, Udogie, Gray, Bergvall, Tonali, Savio, Solanke, Kudus.

Preamble Two teams here who had some forward momentum going into the season with genuine hope of picking up speed; two teams who stalled on the starting line as the leading riders whistled off into the distance. Now then, it's way too early to be bandying about talk of crisis … but Tottenham Hotspur are bottom of the tableafter being schooled at home by Aston Villa, while Manchester Unitedrequired a late equaliser at no-win Fulhamto ensure the three-week international hiatus wasn't as much as a drag for their fans as it would have been withoutthatverdict.

Problem is, another unsatisfactory result isn't going to help the off-stage mood music for any of these lads. On offer tonight: a big momentum-shifter for both sides.

Throw in the fact that this is one oftheglamour fixtures in English football, and a cold start to the campaign can't compromise the genuine sizzle when these two get together. The spark is lit at 5.30pm BST.
