Booed by their own fans in a humiliating defeat to rivals Chelsea, Tottenham made a spectacular comeback in midweek when they crushed Copenhagen 4-0 in the Champions League.

Coach Thomas Frank is optimistic his team can maintain stability for a long time. However, whether the explosive performance against the Danish opponent will create a turning point for Spurs remains to be seen.

Currently ranked 6th on the table, Tottenham entered today's match with the goal of winning 3 consecutive matches against MU, after defeating their opponents twice last season, including the Europa League final.

However, the reality is that Spurs' home record is very poor. No team has lost more games at home than Tottenham in 2025 in the Premier League (9 defeats).

Not to mention, the injury storm is devastating Tottenham. Thomas Frank will be without the services of at least 9 players, including James Maddison, Kulusevski, Solanke and Bissouma.

On the other side of the front line, coach Ruben Amorim deserves praise for his strong response after a poor start, culminating in a 1-3 defeat at Brentford in late September.

Winning 3 victories in the Premier League and drawing 2-2 with Nottingham Forest last weekend, the Red Devils jumped up the rankings, closing in on the top group.

Like Spurs, MU need to promote their rising spirit to continue their impressive streak. To do that, Amorim may need to adjust the attack.

In the last two matches as a starter, Sesko played a good role as a striker, coordinated well with his teammates and created an assist for Mbeumo to tear Brighton's net.

However, against Tottenham, Mason Mount should start from the left flank. The trio of Mount, Cunha and Mbeumo move a lot and will be more flexible tactically.

By placing Cunha as a false striker, MU became more dangerous and unpredictable. As in the match against Liverpool, the elements in the Red Devils' attack constantly swapped positions.

If Tottenham actively press high, they can fall into the opponent's trap, with long passes taking advantage of the speed and agility of the Red Devils' strikers.

Asian ratio: Equal (0-0) - TX: 3 draws

Prediction: MU win 2-1
