Manchester United host Tottenham Hotspur in Sunday’s late game in the Premier League at Old Trafford.
Both sides have had a mixed start to the season, with United entering the game off the back of a frustrating stalemate with Crystal Palace last weekend before another draw against FC Twente in the Europa League in midweek.
Erik ten Hag’s side know that a win against Spurs could prove pivotal in the top four race, even this early into the season, and they face a Spurs side who are just one place above them, with both clubs on seven points.
Ange Postecoglou’s team put consecutive losses to Newcastle and Arsenal behind them last week as they beat Brentford 3-1 at home, with Dominic Solanke getting his first goal for the club, and they beat Qarabag in midweek as they too began their Europa League campaign.

Prediction
The odds show that is is a tough game to call, and really it depends on which version of both teams decides to show up on the day. With United at home they undoubtedly have the upper hand, but Spurs will have enough to trouble them and the home side don’t seem to be firing on all cylinders in attack. Manchester United 1-1 Tottenham.
