The weekend starts with a big clash in the English Premier League. It’s Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United match day. As the two teams have the exact same points in the league and are only one point away from the top three, this game is expected to be exciting at Spurs Stadium. After a difficult start in the league, Manchester United seems to have found the rhythm. The Red Devils are now unbeaten in their last four games, including three successive wins. Their consistent form in the last month earned two individual awards, as manager Ruben Amorim won the Manager of the Month award, and Bryan Mbeumo received the Player of the Month award.
Meanwhile, Tottenham Hotspur suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat in their last game against Chelsea. However, the Spurs recovered from that defeat with a dominating 4-0 win in the UEFA Champions League against Copenhagen.

Team News
The Spurs have a long injury list ahead of the match. They will be without James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski, Radu Dragusin, Dominic Solanke, Yves Bissouma, Ben Davies, Kota Takai, and Archie Gray due to their respective injuries. As Mohammed Kudus is on touch and go, Johnson is likely to replace him.
Considering the injury issues, Manchester United are in a comfortable position. Lisandro Martinez is the only absentee, although he is making progress. Harry Maguire has recovered and is available for selection. But Leny Yoro is the favorite to start with Matthjis de Ligt at the heart of Man United’s defense, while Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha will lead the attack along with Benjamin Sesko.
Possible Lineup for Tottenham Hotspur:
Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Spence; Bentancur, Palhinha, Sarr; Kudus, Richarlison, Simons
Possible Lineup for Manchester United:
Lammens; Yoro, De Ligt, Shaw; Amad, Casemiro, Fernandes, Dalot; Mbeumo, Cunha; Sesko
Prediction: Man United 2-1 Tottenham Hotspur
Man United are now frequently scoring goals, but the concern is their defense. They have to maintain a solid defense to get points against Tottenham Hotspur. Meanwhile, Tottenham Hotspur will get the home advantage, but they are also not very consistent. This match would be very competitive, and we are expecting Man United to win after an intense fight.
