Alejandro Garnacho remains a player to watch, particularly in this competition where his influence has been unmatched. The young Argentine has been a revelation, leading the tournament in goal contributions with 3 goals and 2 assists to his name. Even if Garnacho doesn’t start, his ability to make an impact off the bench cannot be understated. Averaging 2.67 shots per game this season, Garnacho has maintained his form in recent fixtures, netting 2 goals in his last 360 minutes of football. With Manchester United likely to lean on their attacking talent in this must-win tie, Garnacho’s involvement – either through a goal or assist – seems a solid selection.

🔍 Tottenham v Man United Player to Watch

🔴 Manuel Ugarte

Manuel Ugarte is another player expected to take centre stage, though for different reasons. The Uruguayan midfielder is the embodiment of grit and defensive resolve, often toeing the line with his physicality. Averaging 1.89 fouls per game this season, Ugarte’s numbers spike to 2.81 when playing the full 90 minutes, highlighting his susceptibility to disciplinary trouble. In 5 of his last 9 starts, he has committed 2 or more fouls, showcasing a pattern of ill-discipline in high stakes matches. Against Tottenham’s midfield trio of James Maddison, Pape Matar Sarr, and Yves Bissouma – who have combined have drawn 21 fouls in their last 5 appearances — Ugarte will undoubtedly face a stern test. Expect him to be involved heavily in the defensive battles on Thursday night.

💻 Tottenham v Man United Form and Tactics

Tottenham’s season has been marked by inconsistency, leaving them sitting mid table in the Premier League. Even their resounding 5-0 victory over bottom-of-the-league Southampton last weekend served only to paper over the cracks of a concerning 5-game winless streak in all competitions. At the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, their struggles are particularly pronounced, as Spurs remain winless in their last 4 home matches.

Ange Postecoglou has made subtle tactical tweaks in recent weeks, shifting from his favoured 4-3-3 formation to a more fluid 4-3-2-1 system. This alteration aims to foster more direct attacking play while maintaining control in midfield. Spurs tend to dominate possession at home, averaging 55%, but they will face stiff competition against a Manchester United side equally adept at keeping the ball. This tactical dynamic could create a fascinating midfield battle and an end-to-end spectacle. Tottenham’s ability to transition quickly and exploit Manchester United’s defensive lapses will be key if they are to progress.

Manchester United’s season has mirrored Tottenham’s inconsistency, with 6 wins and 6 defeats leaving them just 1 point and 3 places behind their opponents in the table. However, the Red Devils enter this fixture with renewed confidence following a thrilling comeback victory in the Manchester derby, where they scored 2 late goals in as many minutes. With their Premier League ambitions all but extinguished, the EFL Cup has become a priority for United and Ruben Amorim, offering the Portuguese coach his best chance to secure his first piece of silverware at the club.

Amorim’s tactical adjustments have brought fresh purpose to United’s play. A recent shift from a 4-man backline to a 3-man defensive setup has provided added stability while complementing the team’s high-pressing, possession-based style. United’s passing accuracy – averaging an impressive 85.7% this season —has been a cornerstone of their approach, with a focus on vertical progression and incisive ball movement. Back-to-back away wins across all competitions will further boost their confidence as they prepare to face a Spurs side struggling for consistency on home turf.
