Tottenham Hotspur team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Manchester United

Tottenham Hotspur are back in Premier League action on Thursday evening when they take on rivals Manchester United in North London.

Spurs - who sacked interim boss Cristian Stellini on Monday - are reeling from their 6-1 defeat at Newcastle United on Sunday, the Magpies scoring their opening five goals in the first 21 minutes at St James' Park.

As a result, Spurs have placed Ryan Mason in charge until the end of the season, and they enter the latest matchday sitting six points adrift of their fourth-placed opponents - who have played two games fewer - in the standings as they each look to earn Champions League football for next season.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Tottenham's latest injury and suspension news ahead of a key clash with United at a time when their opponents have just reached the FA Cup final.
