Man utd vs spurs

United signed off for on a sorrowful note, losing further ground on the top four courtesy of a disheartening defeat at bottom-half Nottingham Forest. The Red Devils seized a presentable opportunity to do just that, generating an eye-catching 4. For comparison, visiting Tottenham boast 42 top-flight goals heading into this contest after a mauling of Bournemouth at the tail-end of the last calendar year. Eighth-placed Man Utd lag seven points behind their visitors.

On that basis, this assignment has all the makings of a must-win fixture. For the moment, Man United must rely on what they have to strengthen their home resurgence after mustering three wins in their last four top-flight outings at Old Trafford L1. However, travelling fans know better than to place exaggerated expectations ahead of a historically tantalising trip to Old Trafford, where Spurs have lost three of their last four Premier League games W1.
