Manchester United will be looking to return to winning ways as they welcome in-form Tottenham to Old Trafford as second meets third in the pursuit of Manchester City. Tottenham’s 4-1 dismantling of Liverpool on Sunday could be a huge result in the context of their Premier League season and if they can start firing at Wembley, they are a force to be reckoned with this season.

Manchester United
Tottenham HotspursManchester United
Jose Mourinho questioned his team’s desire following their 2-1 defeat at the hands of Huddersfield last time out as United suffered their first loss of the campaign. The Red Devils are yet to concede a Premier League goal at Old Trafford this season and will be eager to return to winning ways.
Romelu Lukaku was largely ineffective against the Terriers but has bagged 7 goals already this campaign.
Tottenham
Spurs look to have finally kick started their season following their 4-1 triumph over Liverpool on Sunday and they are now level on points with Manchester United. They have won all of their away games this term – picking up good results at Everton, Leicester, Newcastle, West Ham and Huddersfield. Harry Kane won the Premier League player of the month for September and has carried on his sparkling form, sitting alongside Lukaku at the top of the goal scoring charts with 7 goals this term.
Head to Head
Both sides have been mainstays in the top division of English football and have shared many memorable encounters. United hold the head to head advantage with 88 wins to Tottenham’s 50 whilst another 48 games have finished in draws between the two sides. United won the home game 1-0 last season thanks to a Henrikh Mkhitaryan strike whilst Spurs got their revenge in May 2017 – winning 2-1 in the last ever competitive fixture at White Hart Lane.
