Combined XI: Tottenham Hotspur vs. Manchester United

Tottenham Hotspur will host Manchester United on Wednesday night in a midweek clash between two of the top five as the race for Champions League football intensifies.

Eight points separate the two sides in the Premier League table, with Spurs two adrift of the top four and United sitting relatively pretty in second place - albeit still 12 points behind leaders Manchester City.

Both clubs host an array of star names from back to front including the likes of Paul Pogba, Romelu Lukaku, Harry Kane and United new boy Alexis Sanchez, who could make his Premier League debut for the club against his old North London rivals.

Here, Sports Mole selects the strongest combined XI from both squads, using only players available for this weekend.
