They’ll host Burnley in the FA Cup third round tonight, and it is the first of potentially six matches where Son could be missing while away with South Korea at the Asian Cup.
Son has scored 12 times this season, and I’m sure that they will also miss his influence off the pitch with vice-captains Cristian Romero and James Maddison both still injured. At the same time, while they lose Son, Sarr and Bissouma will join their African countries for their nation cups game.
I don’t think they’ll have a chance against this Manchester United side with the number of these absentees. They beat Manchester United in the first leg at home and I don’t think Manchester United will want to lose another game to Tottenham. I tip Manchester United to win this one.
The eventual lost against Burnley which I am not predicting,I don't think it means anything except that maybe they do not pay that much attention tot the FA Cup and their attention is away from this competition,maybe they are conserving full strength for the game against Manchester United.I don't fancy either team in this encounter and I predict a most likely result of a draw as even Manchester United is in the same situation as Tottenham,they are not in a good position and they have been losing quite some games for themselves either.Even if they have those good player absences I still think Manchester United is not in a condition to be the favorite in this game,each of the teams is the same favorite as each team is in almost same performance in their recent games.
