TEAMS PREVIEW

Manchester United FC Preview

It is now three wins from three for Michael Carrick at Manchester United, following a narrow 3-2 victory over Fulham in MD24. It was far from straightforward, however, as the Red Devils required a stoppage-time winner from Sesko just minutes after Fulham had equalized. 

With that win, Carrick is arguably on his way to challenging Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s record of six consecutive Premier League wins set in 2018/19. That feat looks highly achievable, as three of United's next four fixtures are against teams lined up in the bottom half of the table. Furthermore, they now find themselves just five points behind third-placed Aston Villa. 

Stats that matter 

1. The 90+ minute winner was the second time in the league this season that United have won with a stoppage time goal.
2. Manchester United are unbeaten in their last six home league games.
3. The Red Devils are at present on a seven game unbeaten run in the Premier League. 

Team News 

United head into the weekend without any new injury or suspension concerns, aside from their long-term absentees and the ongoing absence of Patrick Dorgu and Matthijs de Ligt. There is positive news, though, as Mason Mount is expected to return after missing the Fulham game due to an injury.

Manchester United Probable XI - Lammens (GK); Martinez, Maguire, Shaw, Dalot, Casemiro, Mainoo, Bruno Fernandes, Diallo, Mbeumo, Cunha. 

Tottenham Hotspur FC Preview

Spurs once again proved to be Manchester City’s bogey side, rising points from the champions just as they did earlier this season. This time it ended in a gripping 2–2 draw, with Thomas Frank’s men roaring back from two goals down, inspired by a superb brace from Dominic Solanke. 

Notably, they managed it all despite missing two of their regular starters at the heart of the defence. That result sends Spurs into the next fixture brimming with confidence, now unbeaten in their last four matches across all competitions.

Stats that matter 

1. Thomas Frank has taken four points from games versus Manchester City in the Premier League this season (W1 D1), which is the most by a Spurs manager in a single campaign since Mauricio Pochettino in 2016/17.
2. Tottenham have won just two of their last 15 Premier League games.
3. Over 2.5 goals have been scored in Spurs’ last 4 matches in the Premier League. 

Team News 

Spurs have a timely boost ahead of the fixture, with Djed Spence, and Micky van de Ven all pushing for a return to the squad. There is, however, a slight worry after Dominic Solanke picked up a minor knock last week, leaving his availability in doubt. Meanwhile, Pedro Porro and Richarlison are still sidelined along with the long term absentees. 

Tottenham Hotspur Probable XI - Vicario (GK); Udogie, Romero, Dragusin, van der Ven, Gray, Ximons, Bissouma, Gallagher, Odobert, Kolo Muani. 

MANCHESTER UNITED FC vs TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR FC
Winning Prediction

United, revitalised under Michael Carrick, suddenly look like genuine title contenders. But Spurs won’t be overawed—they’re unbeaten in the last six league meetings between the sides, including a 2–2 draw in north London earlier this season, and arrive buoyed by their latest result. Still, Spurs’ struggles to turn home performances into wins tilt the edge slightly toward the visitors.
