Predicted Spurs starting XI: Mourinho to make five changes; 28-year-old returns
Tottenham Hotspur will face Manchester United in the Premier League on Sunday. Spurs have got a full week to prepare for this crucial clash as they look to return to winning ways following a disappointing 2-2 draw against Newcastle United last time out. Jose Mourinho’s side won 6-1 at Old Trafford earlier this season and has almost a full squad to choose from this time around, with Ben Davies and Matt Doherty the only absentees. However, he is likely to make a few changes to starting XI. Davinson Sanchez has done well recently, but following his sloppy performance against the Magpies, he could be dropped here. Both Toby Alderweireld and Serge Aurier should come in after their two-match absence, with the Belgian defender likely to start alongside Joe Rodon in central defence. Spurs ha...

Gary Neville’s three-word reply when asked if Kane can break NUFC legend’s EPL goal record
Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer proudly holds the record for most goals (260) scored in the Premier League, and nobody has come close to breaking it 15 years after he hung up his boots. Manchester City legend Sergio Aguero, Tottenham Hotspur’s Harry Kane and Leicester City’s Jamie Vardy are the three current EPL footballers in the top-20 list of most top-flight goals, and the trio are not any close to Shearer’s record. Aguero has 181 goals, Kane has 162 goals while Vardy has 115. Only the Spurs star is in his twenties out of the trio, and many have tipped him to become the Premier League’s highest goalscorer of all time someday should he remain in England for the remainder of his career. Manchester United legend Gary Neville has been asked what Kane’s chances of breaking Shearer’s goa...
Tottenham linked with 24-yr-old defender, some of their fans react: ‘No brainer’, ‘Sign him up’

He has already adapted to the Premier League and could make an immediate impact at Spurs next season. Davinson Sanchez has been linked with a move away from Spurs, and Andersen...
