It certainly doesn't get any easier for Tottenham Hotspur following their 6-1 mauling at the hands of Newcastle United on Sunday afternoon. Now with Ryan Mason at the helm after Cristian Stellini's dismissal just over 24 hours later, Spurs do have the chance to bounce back pretty quickly from their humiliation on Tyneside but they face the rather difficult prospect of coming up against Erik ten Hag's Manchester United.
Although their Champions League ambitions look all but over following their recent slump in form, the Lilywhites desperately need the three points with places in the other European competitions still to play for. The issue for Tottenham now is that Aston Villa, Liverpool and Brighton & Hove Albion are closing in on them and could potentially leapfrog them before the end of the week.
One thing for sure heading into Thursday's showdown against Manchester United is that Mason must make changes to his Tottenham team after the debacle in the north east. So what alterations could he make for the game in north London?
