The last time Tottenham and MU met in the Premier League, both teams were struggling in the bottom half of the table. However, after major changes in the early stages of the season, the current situation has changed.
Tottenham's form at home has declined, coach Thomas Frank is under great pressure after the defeat against Chelsea.
Tottenham under coach Thomas Frank and Man United under Ruben Amorim are both on 17 points, ranked 6th and 8th respectively, separated only by goal difference. This weekend's confrontation is therefore a turning point, when the winner can temporarily move up to second place in the table.
Tottenham continue to show inconsistent performance with the paradox of "winning away, losing at home". After an impressive start, they have clearly declined and were just defeated 1-0 by Chelsea in North London. Coach Thomas Frank is facing great pressure as the "honeymoon" has ended. Spurs have played disjointedly in all three lines, especially the attack when new signing Randal Kolo Muani has not yet met expectations.
Their attempts to play out from the back have seen them repeatedly dispossessed and punished, and the defeat to Chelsea not only cost Tottenham their top spot but also sent the stands into a frenzy of boos, reflecting the frustration of the fans.
However, the 4-0 victory over Copenhagen in the Champions League somewhat helped Frank and his team relieve the pressure, with the highlight being the spectacular solo performance of center-back Micky van de Ven, symbolizing the spirit of resistance that Tottenham needs to maintain.
On the other side, MU is also in a period of transformation. When Casemiro scored the opening goal against Nottingham in the previous round, Old Trafford fans dreamed of a fourth consecutive victory. But the "Red Devils" had to fight back to get a point, in which Amad Diallo shone with a beautiful long-range shot.
MU is gradually regaining its identity under Ruben Amorim, aiming for victory to break away from the rankings.
Despite their winning streak being halted, MU has shown that they are clearly improving, becoming more cohesive in their playing style and starting to form a tactical identity under Amorim. However, stability is still a big challenge for this team, when the form of key players such as Rashford, Bruno or Højlund is not really stable.
Notably, coach Ruben Amorim has lost to Tottenham three times since taking charge in November last year, including a bitter defeat in the Europa League final. The upcoming match is therefore not only an opportunity for MU to break away in the rankings, but also an opportunity for the Portuguese strategist to reclaim old debt.
A win in North London would confirm the Red Devils' strong comeback, while Tottenham need to prove they are still strong enough to maintain their position as a top 4 candidate in the middle of this fierce season.
Force information:
Tottenham: Kudus, Spence and Lucas Bergvall all picked up minor injuries in the defeat to Chelsea. The manager also has to deal with injuries to Dominic Solanke and Yves Bissouma. Other long-term injuries are still uncertain.
MU: Lisandro Martinez has returned to training and hopes to play before the national team training camp to regain his ball feeling. Senne Lammens will start, with the central defender trio consisting of Leny Yoro, Matthijs de Ligt and Luke Shaw; if Yoro is not recovered in time, Harry Maguire will replace him.
Expected lineup:
Tottenham: Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Spence; Palhinha, Bentancur; Kudus, Simons, Johnson; Richarlison.
MU: Lammens; Yoro, De Ligt, Shaw; Amad, Fernandes, Casemiro, Dalot; Mbeumo, Cunha; Sesko.
Prediction: Tottenham 1-2 MU.
