MU 'digs for gold' at Tottenham Stadium

HOME PITCHING

The last time Tottenham faced MU was a match that decided the entire season for both sides. Luckily for Tottenham, the 2025 Europa League final took place at the neutral stadium Bilbao. Tottenham won 1-0, thereby securing a ticket to the Champions League this season. MU has a chance to take revenge in the early match of round 11, when they "get" to be guests at Tottenham's stadium (7:30 p.m. today, November 8).

M.U 'đào vàng' tại sân Tottenham - Ảnh 1. — MU *(right)* is in good form with a streak of 4 consecutive unbeaten matches.

If ranked by away record, Tottenham is the leading team in the Premier League this season (4 wins, 1 draw, including the win at Man City). But according to home record, Tottenham is only 17th (1 win, 1 draw, 3 losses). This situation actually existed before the 2025-2026 season started. Since the beginning of 2025, no team in the Premier League has lost more at home than Tottenham. From now until the end of the year, Tottenham has 4 more home matches. If Tottenham loses just 1 more match, they will reach a record that no one wants: the most home losses in a calendar year.

Although currently in 8th place, MU is on the same points as the two teams above them, Tottenham and Chelsea, and is only 1 point behind the 3rd team Liverpool. Besides MU, the only other team that is unbeaten in the last 4 rounds is the top team Arsenal. That means MU is better in terms of form, even though they only drew with Nottingham Forest in the previous round. At that time, Tottenham lost 0-1 at home to Chelsea, and that was the match in which Tottenham's attack was considered the weakest ever (only 3 shots, with a total xG index of 0.1, or 10% chance of scoring - the lowest since the statistics company Opta introduced the xG index).

UNDERLAND CHALLENGES A RSENAL

Round 11 is very evenly matched, with 6/10 matches taking place between teams that are on the same points or next to each other in the rankings. The Sunderland - Arsenal match is just a little different: Sunderland is 3 places below the top team. Anyway, a place in the top 4 after 10 rounds is a dream achievement for Sunderland. They will temporarily take the second place in the table if they beat Arsenal tonight (0:30 on November 9).

Arsenal are on an eight-game winning streak in all competitions without conceding a goal. No other team in the English top flight has managed that in 105 years. Arsenal have faced just 1.9 shots on goal per game on average this season. And they have conceded just three goals in 16 games.

But Arsenal also has a weakness in that they are not very good at scoring from open play. They specialize in exploiting opportunities from set pieces. And Sunderland this season are considered "masters" of defending against set pieces. It is very difficult for the top team to win at the Stadium of Light, where Sunderland is unbeaten this season. In other words, it is very possible that newly promoted Sunderland will be the team to end Arsenal's successful streak, at least in one aspect: scoring or taking points. And who knows, Sunderland will cause a big surprise! Shining in the Sunderland squad this season is veteran Granit Xhaka - a former Arsenal player.

Everton - Fulham, West Ham - Burnley and Chelsea - Wolverhampton are the remaining matches tonight and tomorrow morning.
