Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United

Tottenham Hotspur Stadium will play host to a mouth-watering Premier League encounter between Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United.

A narrow 1-0 away loss to cross-town rivals West Ham last time out has maintained Tottenham’s indifferent start to the season under Nuno Espirito Santo as they take the field as the only Premier League side yet to draw a league match so far (W5, L4). And while they boast a 100% win ratio across the Premier League games in which they drew first blood this season, ‘Spurs’ have developed a habit of falling behind without recovering, losing all but one of the four top-flight fixtures when conceding first this term (W1). Desperate to bridge a two-point gap on fourth-placed West Ham, Tottenham will be looking to snap a three-match winless Premier League home streak against Man United (D1, L2).  To do that, they need to improve their second-half defending, as all of their four league home goals conceded this term have come beyond half-time.

On the other hand, Manchester United’s underwhelming form culminated with a 5-0 demolition at the hands of Liverpool last time out as the ‘Red Devils’ go into this matchday winless in four Premier League games on the trot (D1, L3). As a result, they have tumbled down to seventh in the standings, eight points adrift of pacesetters Chelsea, throwing Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s future at Old Trafford into a corridor of doubt. Leicester came from behind to beat Man United 4-2 at the King Power Stadium and bring the visitors’ record-breaking 29-game unbeaten Premier League away streak to a halt (W19, D10). The ‘Red Devils’ are now facing the prospect of losing back-to-back top-flight travels for the first time since January 2020. Having kept just one clean sheet in eight Premier League fixtures this term, the visitors are not in a good place to be at the moment.
