Manchester United is gradually increasing its player utilization after replacing its manager. On the other hand, Tottenham Hotspur still has a large gap due to injuries and disciplinary measures.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United will be held in the quarterfinals of the 2024-2025 England Carabao Cup at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England, at 5 a.m. on the 20th (Korea Standard Time).
Tottenham barely managed to break the current trend and will play in the upcoming match. Having been mired in slump with three draws and two losses in five matches including the Cup, Tottenham's positive development was on Sunday when it met Southampton, who had always been a good prey. It turned around the mood by garnering a landslide 5-0 victory. It ranks 10th in the English Premier League.
Manchester United is in 13th place, just one point less than Tottenham. The recent trend is better than Tottenham. In particular, the winning rate is not bad with four wins, one draw and two losses since the debut of Coach Hoobeng Amorim. He lost to Arsenal and Nottingham Forest earlier this month, but recently he has entered the winning streak again with consecutive one-goal victories over Victoria Plzen and Manchester City.
Tottenham will have a much bigger gap with Tottenham ahead of their showdowns. Coach Angie Postecoglou said in a pre-match press conference that Yves Bissouma will return from suspension compared to the match against Southampton, and that the rest of the absent players will be maintained except that Destiny Udogi is in an ambiguous physical condition.
This means that Tottenham will also play in a situation where the defense is collapsing. The main center-back duo Christian Romero and Mickey van der Pen are both expected to return until next year. On top of that, candidate center-back Ben Davies is also injured, so it is highly likely that he will see a combination of Radu Dragusin and Archie Gray center-backs this game. If left-back Udo-gi is difficult to play, Jed Spence will be on the left. Frazier Foster will be the goalkeeper since Guglielmo Vicario is out for a long time.
With the return of Bissouma, the central midfielder will be able to rebuild the main combination with Pape Matar Sarr and Dejan Kulusevski. In the case of Rodrigo Bentancur, the main defensive midfielder, the appeal against Son Heung-min for seven games was rejected, and he will miss the match against Manchester United and the PL Liverpool match.
Willson O'Doubert, Hissarlisson and Mikey Moore are also injured. Postecoglou said he hopes Moore, a 17-year-old prospect, to join the team as soon as possible because he has returned to team training. However, it is not a match against Manchester United.
Manchester United's interest is that Marcus Rashford is still out. Manchester United recently excluded Alejandro Garnacho and Rashford from the entry when it beat Manchester City. Manager Amorim once said that the reason for excluding the two players was not a reprimand measure, but a part of the competition to be the starting player. Garnacho returned to Tottenham's away entry, but Rashford is still missing.
What stands out at Manchester United is how to use wingback. Considering Amorim's deployment of players, who likes to use 3-4-2-1 formation, and the Manchester United squad with a lot of under-anticipated wingers, some of the wingers had to change their positions to wingback and seek a revival. The first success story was Ahmad Diallo. However, when he beat Manchester City, Diallo returned to the winger. And when wingback Nusair Mazraoui was absent during the game, Antony was put in the position, drawing attention. Diogo Dalo and Mazraoui are likely to be left and right wingback in the match against Tottenham, but it is difficult to predict who will play where and where depending on the situation of the game.
It is also notable that the set piece is a match between two teams with weak set pieces. Tottenham is a team famous for being weak in set pieces. Both of Manchester United's losses came due to the helpless collapse of Arsenal and Nottingham's set piece strategy. Tottenham is also weak in both offense and defense in set pieces. 스포츠토토
Tottenham is a team that is well-known for having no military officers. It is not strange that they are especially serious about playing in the Carabao Cup. Local reporters brought up Postecoglou's past remarks that "I won the Carabao Cup for sure in my second year," and blasted him with questions close to a pressure interview whether he should use practical tactics in this match.
