Manchester United and Tottenham sit lock on points in the middle of the Premier League standings ahead of their head-to-head clash in Matchday No 6 on Sunday afternoon at the Old Trafford.
Both teams were in action in mid-week but it’s Tottenham who will come into the match in much higher spirits.
Spurs celebrated three wins on the trot across competitions. They have put three goals past Brentford and Qarabag each within the last seven days.
Dominic Solanke and Brennan Johnson were on target in each of the mentioned wins. The good news for head coach Ange Postecoglou is that the former Bournemouth forward seems to have settled in nicely after recovering from an early season injury.
Manchester United translated their domestic struggles into the UEFA Europa League, playing only a disappointing 1-1 stalemate to Dutch side Twente at the beginning of the campaign on Wednesday night.
The Red Devils had previously failed to break the deadlock in a goalless draw at Crystal Palace last Saturday.
Manchester United are struggling to create in the final third against stronger rivals this season. They have failed to bag more than one goal in the last two matches across competitions.
Tottenham will come into the game in incomparably higher spirits after managing three wins on the spin in all competitions. Postecoglou’s troops have bagged eight goals along the way.
