Manchester United and Tottenham will seek to salvage their dismal Premier League seasons when they clash for UEFA Europa League glory in Bilbao.
These two sides have long since checked out of their domestic campaigns and look likely to occupy 16th and 17th spots in the final analysis.
That humiliation would be drastically eased by a major piece of silverware. Spurs haven't lifted a trophy since the 2008 EFL Cup, while Ruben Amorim's Old Trafford reign could badly use a vindicating success.
Injuries have been a part of the torment for both clubs leading into this match, so how are their squads looking?

Tottenham vs. Man United lineups, starting 11, team news
Spurs captain Son Heung-min made his first start since recovering from a foot injury in last Friday's defeat to Aston Villa, but has surprisingly been left on the bench while Richarlison and Brennan Johnson start flanking striker Dominic Solanke.
Ange Postecoglou's main concerns come in midfield, with James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski and Lucas Bergvall all ruled out.
The picture is far rosier at centre-back. Despite both missing large chunks of the campaign, influential duo Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven are ready to start.

Diogo Dalot, Leny Yoro and Joshua Zirkzee all took part in team training on Tuesday before the United squad flew to Bilbao, and they were all in contention to be involved in the game. That said, Zirkzee was always unlikely to be fully fit after battling a hamstring injury sustained last month that was expected to sideline him for the rest of the season, and is not in the matchday squad.
Matthijs de Ligt had hoped to recover from a knee problem, but he was not included in the travelling squad.
Amad Diallo and Mason Mount have each given Amorim's support attacking options a boost in recent weeks and are vying to start, with both included in the lineup while Manuel Ugarte has been left on the bench.
Much-maligned striker Rasmus Hojlund has scored six goals in the Europa League this season, two more than he has managed in the Premier League in 2024/25.
