Man United lineup vs. Tottenham: Predicted XI for Premier League clash

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag should be working with an identical group of players for Sunday’s Premier League blockbuster against Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford.

The Red Devils were without Leny Yoro (foot), Tyrell Malacia (knee), Victor Lindelof (toe) and Luke Shaw (calf) for the 1-1 draw with FC Twente in the Europa League in midweek, and Ten Hag expects the quartet to sit this one out too.

Following another lackadaisical performance in midweek, Ten Hag will no doubt ring the changes, and the hosting manager faces a particularly tricky dilemma in the final third, where Joshua Zirkzee should continue up front over Rasmus Hojlund.

All of Marcus Rashford, Amad Diallo and Alejandro Garnacho are fighting for two wide spots, and the latter could very well demote the former to the bench for the visit of Spurs, where Bruno Fernandes will finally endeavour to get off the mark for the new campaign.

However, Christian Eriksen certainly made his mark in midweek with a thunderbolt of an opener, and the Dane has likely done enough to reprise his role alongside Kobbie Mainoo, expected to replace Manuel Ugarte.

One change should be afoot in the backline as well, as Harry Maguire was drafted back into the rearguard in midweek, but Matthijs de Ligt will surely return for Premier League duties.

It is otherwise as you were at the back for Man United, as Noussair Mazraoui, Diogo Dalot and Lisandro Martinez protect number one Andre Onana.

Manchester United possible starting lineup:
Onana; Mazraoui, De Ligt, Martinez, Dalot; Eriksen, Mainoo; Diallo, Fernandes, Garnacho; Zirkzee

Jets Set to Soar: Gang Green Fully Ready to End Year on High Note vs. Dolphins

Jets Set to Soar: Gang Green Fully Ready to End Year on High Note vs. Dolphins

The New York Jets season is nearly over, with one game left for the franchise to get through before sweeping changes take place off the field.

Aaron Rodgers and his future is murky at best, along with other star players like Garrett Wilson and Davante Adams, but the roster has one last chance to get something positive from the year.

The Jets’ Week 18 matchup against the Miami Dolphins at MetLife Stadium could be the last time we see several players pull on a New York uniform. With Miami potentially without Tua Tagovailoa, the Jets could grind out a win.

And that’s exactly what CBS Sports thinks they’ll do.

“The Dolphins need this game to have a playoff chance, but they might be without Tua Tagovailoa,” CBS Sports writes. “This is also a second straight road game, which isn’t easy. The Jets look like they have packed it in, but maybe one more game at home against the rival will get them to play. Jets win it.”

Finishing the season off with a win won’t change anything in the grand scheme of things, but it will leave a positive taste in fans’ mouths despite the obvious failures this year.

Thought to be a Super Bowl contender in preseason, the Jets, after starting 2-1, fell into a hole they couldn’t get out of.

Now, with one game left before changes both on and off the field will happen, this is the last chance to put on a show in what could be Rodgers’ last-ever game in the NFL, too.

BREAKING: insider reveals New York Giants’ final stance on Brian Daboll firing

BREAKING: insider reveals New York Giants’ final stance on Brian Daboll firing

The New York Giants are one of the more intriguing teams of the offseason, as changes could be coming after a poor season. Speculation suggests head coach Brian Daboll could wind up being one of those changes.

Chatter around the NFL suggests that Daboll will be let go by the Giants, according to Dianna Russini of The Athletic. General manager Joe Schoen is expected to be retained.

Russini notes that, by contrast, many within the Giants’ building believe Daboll will get another season, including the coach himself. No decision is believed to have been made yet by owner John Mara.

There have been reports that Mara is still a believer in Daboll, which could save the head coach. The Giants are 3-13, however, and it would be presumptuous to assume anyone is safe after a season that has produced that sort of result.

Daboll led the Giants to the NFC divisional round in his first year as head coach in 2022.

The team has gotten worse every year since, however, culminating in a dreadful 2024 season that included the release of starting quarterback Daniel Jones. Whether Daboll gets another season and a chance to work with whoever the team’s next quarterback is remains to be seen

BREAKING: NY Jets reportedly have made surprise Rodgers, Adams decisions for 2025

BREAKING: NY Jets reportedly have made surprise Rodgers, Adams decisions for 2025

 

Rumblings emerged shortly after New York Jets owner Woody Johnson dismissed general manager Joe Douglas in November, claiming that the Jets would part ways with noteworthy veteran players such as quarterback Aaron Rodgers and wide receiver Davante Adams during the upcoming offseason as part of a franchise reset.

There’s now more information on why at least Rodgers could have a new NFL home later this year.

“Barring an unforeseen change, the Jets are expected to move on from QB Aaron Rodgers and WR Davante Adams this offseason,” uStadium reported on Tuesday. “Source tells us the relationship between owner Woody Johnson and Rodgers is ‘irreparable.’”

It’s hardly a stretch to say that the Jets’ experiment of acquiring Rodgers from the Green Bay Packers in the spring of 2023 has not gone as hoped.

He suffered a campaign-ending torn Achilles on the Jets’ fourth offensive snap of his Gang Green regular-season debut, allegedly failed to mentor former New York backup signal-caller Zach Wilson as originally planned and later skipped the club’s two-day mandatory minicamp this past June because of “a pre-planned trip to Egypt.”

More recently, Rodgers has largely played like a shell of his former great self throughout the ongoing season up through being replaced by current backup Tyrod Taylor in this past Sunday’s 40-14 blowout loss to the Buffalo Bills that dropped the Jets to 4-12.

According to Pro Football Reference, Rodgers heads into Week 18 ranked 25th in the NFL among qualified players with a 48.3 adjusted QBR and 20th with an 89.1 passer rating on the campaign.

Over 16 games, the 41-year-old has tossed 24 touchdown passes and 10 interceptions.

It makes sense the relationship between Johnson and Rodgers could be “irreparable,” considering it was reported in November that Johnson suggested to coaches after New York’s 10-9 loss to the Denver Broncos in Week 4 “that they bench Aaron Rodgers in favor of Tyrod Taylor because [Johnson] felt Rodgers’ performance was holding the team back.”

Meanwhile, Russ Weakland and Oliver Salt of the Daily Mail shared earlier this week that Rodgers “is convinced that a move to either the Cleveland Browns, Indianapolis Colts, Tennessee Titans or Las Vegas Raiders would make the most sense in 2025” if he’s released by the Jets in March.

As for Adams, he could become a salary-cap casualty and wouldn’t have much reason to want to stay with a rebuilding Jets side if the club shows Rodgers, the 32-year-old’s close friend, the door.

While it remains to be seen if Rodgers will take a meaningful snap when the Jets host the 8-8 Miami Dolphins this coming Sunday, it seems there’s little reason he should want to risk his health during that matchup unless he plans to retire as soon as later this month
