Tottenham Hotspur have sacked two managers within two months. The Spurs are ready to start their journey tonight under their new interim manager Ryan Mason. Tonight, Tottenham Hotspur will host Manchester United at their home ground.
Tottenham’s hope for the top four has become very complicated. They lost their last two consecutive matches in the league, having won only one of their last five league games. As a result, Tottenham are in 7th with 53 points.
On the other hand, Manchester United will go straight to the third place if they avoid defeat against the Spurs. Manchester United are in 4th with 59 points, the same as Newcastle United. But Manchester United played one game less than the Magpies. However, Man United are in good form, having won the FA Cup semifinal against Brighton on penalties.
Stats & Facts
Manchester United have been unstoppable against Tottenham Hotspur. They have a strong record against the North London side club. Tottenham Hotspur have lost their last four consecutive games against the Red Devils in Premier League. Moreover, the Spurs won only three of their last 21 league meetings with Man United.
Team News
Manchester United have several injury cases ahead of tonight’s clash. Lisandro Martinez and Rafael Varane are United’s first choice in defense. But the duo have been injured. Therefore, the manager had to play Lindelof and Maguire in some games. But Maguire continued performing below average. So, Lindelof is likely to continue with Luke Shaw in the back four.
However, there was doubt about Bruno Fernandes. The midfielder got a knock on Sunday. But there are some rumors that Bruno could play tonight from the very first minute.
As for the Spurs, Hugo Lloris got a knock while playing against Newcastle United. He is unavailable for tonight’s clash. Moreover, Rodrigo Bentancur, Emerson Royal, Ryan Sessegnon, and Yves Bissouma are out of the squad due to injuries.
The Possible Lineup for Tottenham Hotspur:
Forster; Romero, Dier, Davies; Porro, Hojbjerg, Skipp, Perisic; Kulusevski, Kane, Son
The Possible Lineup for Manchester:
De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw; Eriksen, Casemiro, Sabitzer; Antony, Martial, Rashford
Prediction: Tottenham 1-2 Man United
Although Man United struggling with several injuries, they are also in good form. If Bruno plays tonight, it will be difficult for the Spurs to keep a clean sheet.
