Tottenham host Manchester United in an exciting Premier League clash this weekend. Last season, Spurs won all four encounters between these teams. Their Europa League triumph in Bilbao ended a long wait for a trophy, but it did not save Ange Postecoglou's job. Thomas Frank was appointed to start a new chapter with Tottenham this summer.
Despite recent progress, Tottenham’s poor performance at home against Chelsea, which was met with boos from their fans, has raised concerns. Meanwhile, Manchester United arrive in London having gained momentum after ending a winning streak with a draw against Nottingham Forest. They remain unbeaten in four games under newly crowned manager of the month Ruben Amorim.
Both teams are level on points before kickoff, with the winner having a chance to move into second place in the table.
