The headline fixture from this weekend's Premier League action takes place at Old Trafford.

This will see Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur, two teams hoping to finish in the top four, go head-to-head, but at this stage of the season, they are struggling to put together a good run of form.

Pressure is quickly ramping up for United manager Erik ten Hag whose team drew with FC Twente 1-1 in the first round of Europa League fixtures, while Spurs managed to beat Qarabag 3-0 despite being reduced to 10-men.

Speaking to Betfair, legendary Premier League striker Alan Shearer placed added emphasis on this clash when it came to the race for the top four, and also named one Spurs player in particular who could cause plenty of problems for the Red Devils.

"This is a huge game in terms of the top four. Both teams haven't had the start they wanted albeit Spurs won last weekend, it's a really tough one to call. Both teams aren't in great form. It won't be a great result for either team but I can see this being a draw," Shearer said.

"Spurs have players that can hurt United. James Maddison is a top player, he's one of the players that could say he played his part and did okay during Spurs' slow start to the season. I'm a fan of his, I like what he brings to the team and he got his goal last weekend. Confidence wise, that'll be great for him and he'll play a huge part, absolutely.

"If Spurs do get into those positions and turn chances into goals then it'll be tough for Man United as well because they do give you chances and that's why I see it being a score draw."

Tottenham Hotspur fell 1-0 at home to Arsenal on Sunday in what was a frustrating match for the hosts, who dominated possession but came away with nothing to show for it.

Gabriel's 64th-minute header sealed the victory for the Gunners, who were without Declan Rice and captain Martin Odegaard. Their absences were felt as Spurs overran their visitors at times, but a momentary defensive lapse on an Arsenal corner kick was all that was needed for the visitors to undo all the good work by Tottenham up to that point.

"I thought it was a tight game all the way along," Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou told BBC Match of the Day. "We controlled it for the most part and got off to a good start. We didn't capitalise on the opportunities and we were unable to get on top of them.

"We lost concentration [for the goal]. We've got some big guys in there who really attack the ball and we just switched off for a second.

"I think I've said my piece. For the most part we controlled the game today, had good territory and possession but we didn't make the most of it and we got punished."
