Manchester United vs. Tottenham Hotspur: Prediction, date, venue, and how to watch Premier League match

Manchester United host Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford as both sides look to regain momentum in the Premier League.

United head into the fixture fourth in the table on 38 points and firmly in the Champions League qualification race, having recovered from a difficult start to the season to re-establish themselves among the top four under interim boss Michael Carrick.

Tottenham sit 14th on 28 points and have struggled to translate the form that saw them lift the Europa League last season into consistent league results, and pressure will not be eased on Thomas Frank despite Spurs earning a draw against Manchester City in their last outing.

The sides last met in November, when Matthijs de Ligt struck a dramatic equaliser in the sixth minute of stoppage time to secure United a 2-2 draw in north London.

With United growing stronger at home and Spurs dangerous on the counter-attack, Saturday’s clash sets up as a test of control versus transition at Old Trafford.

Manchester United vs. Tottenham Hotspur: Team news

Manchester United

Patrick Dorgu and Matthijs de Ligt are both sidelined with hamstring strains, while Mason Mount is unlikely to start after his abcence in the Fulham fixture due to a knock.

Their absences reduce Carricks’s defensive and midfield rotation options, but United are otherwise expected to name a strong XI as they look to protect their top-four position and continue their strong home form.

Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham arrive in Manchester with a lengthy injury list that continues to disrupt Thomas Frank’s plans with James Maddison ruled out with a cruciate ligament injury, while Richarlison, Rodrigo Bentancur and Pedro Porro are all sidelined with hamstring issues.

Defensive options are also stretched, with Ben Davies, Kevin Danso, Djed Spence and Micky van de Ven unavailable, while Dejan Kulusevski, Lucas Bergvall and Mohammed Kudus are also out.

The scale of Spurs’ absences leaves them short in several key areas as they prepare to face an in-form Manchester United.

Manchester United vs. Tottenham Hotspur: What the managers are saying

Michael Carrick, Manchester United

"They certainly bring a challenge. I think you can see especially the way they finished the game the other day [against Manchester City]. They have had players injured and ins and outs, and a lot of changes to the team which makes things a lot more challenging, a lot more difficult from their perspective. But they're getting players back. They've got really good attackers who look to stretch the backline and play forward and attack the box an awful lot. It's something we've got be aware of. A slightly different game to maybe what we have played over recent weeks in some ways, but we're looking forward to it. We're in a good place, the boys have worked well again this week. Again, feet on the ground, let's not get carried away with what has gone on. It's about what's next. A big challenge ahead but we're looking forward to it."

"It seems like there was injected a little bit of energy into the team [with Carrick's hiring]. I think it looks like some of the players are in a good place. We know the threats that I also think they posed before from Bryan Mbeumo,  Amad, Cunha and Bruno Fernandes, he’s getting this team ticking. He has done that the last, I don't know, four or five years. It has been incredible. It is a threat, it is a challenge, but we are looking forward to it.”

Manchester United vs. Tottenham Hotspur prediction

United’s recent home form and greater stability in midfield give them the edge, particularly against a Spurs side that has struggled away from home this season.

Tottenham remain capable of hurting United in transition, but their defensive issues may prove costly over 90 minutes.

Prediction: Manchester United 2-1 Tottenham Hotspur
