Tottenham fans have been waiting eight weeks for this moment: Toby Alderweireld has full recovered from a knee injury and starts against Manchester United at Old Trafford.
The Belgian defender came off the bench to play half an hour against CSKA Moscow in midweek at Wembley. But this will be he first start since the 1-1 draw at West Bromwich Albion in October.
Eric Dier drops to the bench to accommodate Alderweireld, while Mousa Dembele replaces Harry Winks in the only other change from Wednesday night.
Here’s how Twitter reacted to all the team news.

Sad but not surprised to see Dier dropped. He's not found last season's form yet. Both Wanyama and Dembele have been better in def mid #COYS

That's about full strength, though it'd be nice to see Son put in a proper performance against a team not in the bottom 5.

Can't help but feel disappointed to see Dier drop down to bench, however no arguments Wanyama & Dembele our best midfield duo. #COYS#THFC

Spurs have looked closer to last season's team in recent weeks. Today is a big test of that, but the potential passing reward is big. #THC

That's the right call re. Dier. Has been out of sorts for a while, partly due to being out of position and Wanyama has been immense.
