Man Utd vs Tottenham: How to watch on TV live stream, team news, lineups & prediction
Erik ten Hag's Manchester United host Antonio Conte's Tottenham at Old Trafford in the standout fixture of the Premier League's midweek offering.
The Red Devils were frustrated by the defensively sound Newcastle at the weekend in a contest laden with controversy, while Spurs produced a dominant second-half display to see off Everton in north London.
It's been an up-and-down start to life as United boss for Ten Hag, with his side currently sitting fifth in the Premier League table through nine games. They're the second-lowest scoring side out of the current top ten, and Wednesday's opponents currently boast the joint-second best defensive record in the division.
A tight and cagey affair is in the offing; here's everything you need to know about the upcoming clash.

Man Utd team news
Scott McTominay returns from suspension and will likely replace Fred in Ten Hag's starting XI on Wednesday.
Christian Eriksen, however, is a doubt to face his former club after he wasn't spotted in training on Monday. Both the Dane and Anthony Martial will have to prove their fitness ahead of the encounter at Old Trafford.
Marcus Rashford wasn't 100% fit to start against Newcastle on Sunday, but Ten Hag will be keen to have him ready for the get-go against Spurs. The Englishman could replace Cristiano Ronaldo in the starting XI.

Man Utd Starting 11 (4-2-3-1): De Gea; Dalot, Varane, Martinez, Shaw; Casemiro, McTominay; Antony, Fernandes, Sancho; Rashford
Bench: Heaton, Lindelof, Malacia, Eriksen, Ronaldo, Martial, Elanga, Iqbal, Garnacho
Tottenham team news
Richarlison sustained a calf injury in Tottenham's 2-0 victory over Everton on Saturday and is set for a brief period on the sidelines, while it's unlikely that Dejan Kulusevski will start after he suffered another injury setback last week.
With these two attacking options missing, supporters are clamouring for Conte to deploy a 3-5-2 at Old Trafford with Yves Bissouma joining Rodrigo Bentancur and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg in midfield. The Italian boss, however, teased the idea of potentially using Ivan Perisic in the front three and thus retaining the 3-4-3.
In defence, Clement Lenglet should replace Ben Davies at left centre-back, while Matt Doherty will deputise once more for the suspended Emerson Royal.
Tottenham predicted lineup vs Man Utd
Tottenham Starting 11 (3-5-2): Lloris; Romero, Dier, Lenglet; Doherty, Hojbjerg, Bissouma, Bentancur, Sessegnon; Son, Kane
Bench: Forster, Skipp, Sanchez, Gil, Lucas, Spence, Sarr, Davies, Perisic
Man Utd vs Tottenham score prediction
Tottenham haven't beaten the Red Devils since their memorable 6-1 triumph at Old Trafford in 2020. However, Conte's side are well-placed to secure a rare victory at the Theatre of Dreams.
Ten Hag's United are struggling to fire despite their wealth of attacking talent, while Casemiro's quick acclimatisation has brought about greater defensive security. The hosts' progressive style should suit the visitors, but Spurs' dire record at Old Trafford means it's hard to back a Lilywhites victory.
Wednesday's clash has the makings of a low-scoring draw.
Prediction: Man Utd 1-1 Tottenham
