Preview
Sanchez returns to north London as he makes his second appearance for United, with the travelling party given a boost by the January signing of the ex-Arsenal forward.
The Chile international started in United's 4-0 win in the FA Cup at Yeovil on Friday, and he was man of the match as he provided two assists.
Sanchez's arrival is well timed, even with the Premier League title just a pipe dream in reality.
United must stay ahead of the chasing pack and ward off Chelsea as they fight for a second-placed finish behind neighbours Manchester City.
Spurs had a rocky start to the season and find themselves behind in the race for a top-four place, but the performances of Harry Kane have dragged the Londoners back into contention for a Champions League finish.
Kane leads the Premier League scoring charts on 21 goals, but Romelu Lukaku will be looking to increase his haul of 11 strikes this term.
The United No. 9 could be the main beneficiary of Sanchez's fresh creativity, forming a lethal partnership under Mourinho.
Football writer Liam Canning is excited by the potential of United's new-look attack:
This is a match neither side can afford to lose, but the stakes are higher for Spurs as they remain two points behind Liverpool.
United will be keen to play on the counter-attack to exploit Sanchez's natural pace and explosive attitude, and if he quickly discovers chemistry with his new team-mates, it could be an unsettling evening for the hosts.
