Tottenham Face Old Trafford Test as Injuries Deepen and Scoreless Run Persists

De Zerbi must choose between cautious comebacks or tactical changes that could decide his short‑term future.

Overview

  • Tottenham sit bottom of the Premier League with two points from five games after failing to win any league match so far.
  • Roberto De Zerbi confirmed Pedro Porro and Mykhailo Mudryk are unavailable while Micky van de Ven and Jan Paul van Hecke have been cleared to play.
  • Dejan Kulusevski has returned to team training and took part in an internal 11v11, making him a candidate for the bench but not a guaranteed starter.
  • Spurs have struggled to score in four of five league games, leaving Dominic Solanke under pressure and prompting the club to prioritise a new striker for January 2027.
  • Saturday’s trip to Old Trafford on October 10 is being cast as a potential turning point for De Zerbi because results, selection choices and tactical approach there could shape his immediate future.
