Manchester United are winless in their past three against Tottenham; before that they’d won four on the bounce against them. The one thing we should be guaranteed today is goals.
There’s only been one 1-0 in the past 14 meetings between these two sides – and no goalless draws between them for more than a decade.
The last time United failed to score at least two at home to Spurs was when they were hammered 6-1 at home by Jose Mourinho’s side in 2020 – day when Son scored two and United had 10 men for more than an hour.
Ten Hag’s team have their issues and Postecoglou’s football can be scintillating … but it’s hard to envisage a repeat of that scoreline today.
Manchester United line-up: Onana; Mazraoui, De Ligt, Martinez, Dalot; Ugarte, Mainoo; Garnacho, Fernandes (c), Rashford; Zirkzee.
Tottenham line-up: Vicario; Porro, Romero (c), Van de Ven, Udogie; Bentancur, Maddison, Kulusevski; Johnson, Solanke, Werner.
