Manchester United host Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford on Saturday (Watch live, 7:30 a.m. ET on NBCSN and online via NBCSports.com) in a battle to take sole possession of second place in the Premier League.
Spurs are without Harry Kane, who is out injured, but Jose Mourinho and United have plenty of injury concerns of their own.
With Manchester City setting the early pace as PL leaders, but Spurs and United know a win would edge them closer towards Pep Guardiola’s side and perhaps establish themselves as City’s main title rivals.
In team news United start with Phil Jones and Eric Bailly in a three-man central defense with Mourinho mixing things up.
With Kane out injured, Mauricio Pochettino starts with Heung-min Son up front and Eric Dier looks to have moved into the back three.
