Tottenham take on Manchester United today in a battle of two big Premier League clubs enduring nightmare seasons. Both Ruben Amorim and Ange Postecoglou are under the spotlight amid dreadful form and, with their sides languishing down in 14th and 15th place in the table, another bad result in north London this afternoon would add to the pressure on them.
Spurs need to respond after being knocked out of both domestic cup competitions last week. Defeats to Liverpool and Aston Villa mean the Europa League is their last shot at making a success of this season, though Postecoglou has stressed he wants his side to climb the table as they prepare to face a United side who have been hit by an injury crisis.
Kobbie Mainoo, Manuel Ugarte, Amad Diallo and Toby Collyer have all been added to the United injury list for the Spurs game, and Amorim has named eight yongsters on the bench.
