Manchester United vs Tottenham combined XI

LW: Christian Erisken (Tottenham)

Tottenham's playmaker supreme

Eriksen is yet to score or assist this season, but he is still one of the most underrated playmakers in the league.

The Danish midfielder was also brilliant at the World Cup, and in spite of having made no new signings this summer, Pochettino will be delighted to have managed to hold on to one of his most prized assets.

His link-up play with Kane and Alli remains as dangerous as ever, and he will be relishing the thought of going up against an unsettled Manchester United defence.

ST: Harry Kane (Tottenham)

He can score in August!

Kane is another player that Spurs managed to hold onto this summer, and he's finally broken his August blues by scoring against Fulham.

Lukaku was fantastic for Belgium in Russia and displayed some of the other qualities he brings on to the pitch apart from goals. But Kane still managed to outscore him with England and will be looking forward to reclaiming the Golden Boot from Mo Salah.

Pochettino will hope that the England captain can keep up his scoring form. Bailly and Lindelof are in for a nightmare on Monday.

RW: Lucas Moura (Tottenham)

Lucas celebrates scoring his first Premier League goal

With Son Heung-min representing his country at the Asian Games hoping to avoid mandatory military service, Lucas Moura finally had a chance to prove his worth at Tottenham.

So far he's done a good job filling the South Korean's shoes, scoring a stunning goal against Fulham with his weaker left foot. United's options here are Sanchez and Mata, but they simply haven't done enough to warrant a place in this XI.

His pace and energy could prove to be a problem for United's defence. With all the focus on the Kane-Eriksen-Alli trio, Lucas could prove to be a valuable wild card for Pochettino.
