Kane has been consistently good for Tottenham this season with 20 goals from 30 matches so far. Tottenham would again be relying on him for scoring goals and getting the valuable 3 points on Sunday. His quick turns and powerful shots might test the United defence considerably. He also poses a significant aerial threat.

Both Eric Bailly and Victor Lindelof, the likely centre-backs for United, would have to be on their toes against Kane. Moreover, Matic would have to stay close to the centre-backs and try to mark Kane every time he falls back to the middle third. This is very essential for United because Kane has the habit of dropping down and creating moves from the middle third.
Son Heung-min’s absence would be a blow to Tottenham, as the Korean forward has been in excellent form this season. However, Lucas is likely to play and would do his bit to trouble the United defence, which he did in their previous PL match scoring two goals in Tottenham's rout of United at Old Trafford, 3-0.
