How Tottenham Hotspur could line up against Manchester United

Tottenham Hotspur have received a boost regarding Cristian Romero ahead Saturday's blockbuster Premier League showdown with Manchester United in North London.

The Argentina international scored Spurs' first Premier League goal of the campaign in last weekend's 2-2 draw with Brentford, but he was withdrawn only moments later following a bang to the head.

However, Romero has been given the green light to play here, leaving Bryan Gil (groin), Rodrigo Bentancur (knee), Ryan Sessegnon (hamstring), Fraser Forster (back) and Alfie Whiteman (ankle) on the sidelines for Saturday's game.

The former Atalanta BC and Juventus man will therefore resume his central duties alongside Micky van de Ven in front of Guglielmo Vicario, as Lazio try to thrash out an agreement for Hugo Lloris.

Emerson Royal's slick equaliser last weekend should see him hold his place over Pedro Porro at right-back, while Destiny Udogie has likely done enough to keep Ben Davies, Ivan Perisic and Sergio Reguilon at bay on the other side.

Two Lilywhites midfielders in James Maddison and Yves Bissouma ran the show at the Gtech Community Stadium last week, and the pair will likely form an untouched engine room with Oliver Skipp.

In his first Premier League home game since being appointed Spurs captain, Son Heung-min should strut his stuff on the left wing, as Dejan Kulusevski and Richarlison complete a Harry Kane-less attack.

Tottenham Hotspur possible starting lineup: Vicario; Emerson, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Bissouma, Skipp, Maddison; Kulusevski, Richarlison, Son
