Tottenham will be looking to make it four wins on the bounce in all competitions later today when they travel north to take on Manchester United in the Premier League.

Despite going down to 10 men after just eight minutes, Spurs picked up a 3-0 win over Qarabag in the Europa League midweek to give them a perfect start to their Europa League campaign. Next up for Ange Postecoglou's side is a tough test in the Premier League, with Spurs taking on United at Old Trafford.

Spurs took four points from their two games against the Red Devils last season, winning 2-0 in north London before being held to a 2-2 draw at Old Trafford. So, can Spurs continue their unbeaten run against Man Utd later today? Let's take a look.

We simulated Man United vs Spurs to get a score prediction

To complete this simulation, we used EA FC 25 and updated the squads with the latest injuries and suspensions.

We predict that United could set up in a 4-3-3 formation, with their line-up as follows: Onana; Mazraoui, De Ligt, Martinez, Dalot; Ugarte, Mainoo, Fernandes; Amad, Hojlund, Rashford.

We predict that Spurs could line up in a 4-3-3 formation, with their starting XI as follows: Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Sarr, Bentancur, Maddison; Kulusevski, Solanke, Johnson.

Spurs had the worst possible start at Old Trafford, with an early United corner seeing Matthijs de Ligt rise highest and head home to give the hosts an early lead. The goal gave Erik ten Hag's side a huge confidence boost, and 20 minutes in, United managed to double their lead.

After scoring the opening goal, De Ligt was involved again, winning back possession with a challenge on Brennan Johnson before sending a long ball forward. His pass beat the Spurs high line to send Rasmus Hojlund through on goal, and the striker kept his composure to fire home and make it 2-0.

Pape Sarr intercepted Kobbie Mainoo's pass deep in the United half, allowing Spurs to hit the hosts on the break. Sarr carried the ball forward before placing the ball into the path of Dejan Kulusevski, and after cutting back onto his left, he curled his strike into the far corner to make it 3-1.

With a goal under their belt, Spurs started to push forward as they looked to muster up a comeback, but it was too little too late as they fell to defeat at Old Trafford.
