Djed Spence has committed 8 fouls across his 11 Premier League appearances this season (1.06 per 90). He’s been playing as a left back during Tottenham’s injury crisis which has seen him in some awkward matches against talented wingers.

He’ll have to manage the threat of two players here with Manchester United lining up in a 3-4-3 shape meaning that Spence could be outnumbered on a few occasions here. It’s unclear who Ruben Amorim will start as the wingback with manager previously putting Patrick Dorgu in that position but Amad Diallo is set to line up ahead of that fullback. 

Diallo has won 23 fouls across his 22 Premier League appearances this season (1.30 per 90) and was fouled once in the initial league meeting between the sides despite only being on the pitch for five minutes. Spence also came on in the second half of that game to commit a foul and pick up a yellow card.

Spence committed three fouls in Tottenham’s 4-3 win over Manchester United in the EFL Cup. He’s clearly quite overpriced here to commit one in this encounter with the same market coming in around 1.57 on other bookmakers.
