The Premier League has already seen some of the best matches of the season and is already midway through. Two of the biggest clubs Manchester United Tottenham Hotspurs are two exciting teams that have performed unpredictably this season.
Both clubs have at one point struggled and other times soared above expectations. With a crucial part of the season on the horizon, the two teams will now face each other in a very important clash to determine their next part of the season.
Manchester United vs Spurs: start time, predicted line-ups
The match between Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspurs is going to take place tomorrow night at the iconic Old Trafford stadium at around 4.30 p.m. local time. It will be the 21st game of the season for both sides.
Ahead of such a game, both teams will be missing some crucial players due to the upcoming AFCON and AFC Asian Cup tournaments. With players already having left their clubs for their respective national teams, there will be many notable absentees from both teams.
Manchester United will lose their main goalkeeper Andre Onana who plays for Cameroon, while they are also losing midfielder Sofyan Amrabat to Morocco. Onana, however, will play the match tomorrow before quickly departing for Ivory Coast.
Tottenham will have a big absence in captain and star player Heung-min Son, who will captain South Korea in the Asian Cup. They will also miss crucial midfielders Pape Sarr and Yves Bissouma, who will represent Senegal and Mali in AFCON.
The potential Manchester United lineup will therefore consist of goalkeeper Onana, while the back four will have Diogo Dalot, Raphael Varane, Jonny Evans, and Luke Shaw. The midfield players will be teenage sensation Kobbie Mainoo, captain Bruno Fernandes, and Scott McTominay. The forwards will be Marcus Rashford, Rasmus Hojlund, and Alejandro Garnacho.
Tottenham will start in the following lineup with Guglielmo Vicario at goal. Pedro Porro, Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, and Destiny Udogie will be the backline of the team. Rodrigo Bentancur, Oliver Skipp, and Dejan Kulusevski will be the midfielders. Brennan Johnson, Richarlison, and new signing Timo Werner who was recently mocked by fans, would be on the front lines.
Manchester United vs Spurs H2H record, last meeting, current league positions
It will be an important clash for both teams as the Premier League season enters a crucial period for both of them. United have had a bad start to the season and sit at just 9th position, while Tottenham had a good start but failed in the middle to replicate that and are now at 5th position. Therefore, both of them need the win badly and can’t settle for a draw.
The two teams have faced each other a total of 200 times in their history. United have the upper hand with 96 wins, while Tottenham have 54 wins. The rest of the 50 games were ties.
Their last meeting was in August, during the season’s opening stages. Tottenham had a commanding 2-0 win and may be able to get another such win if they play their cards well. The game will take place tomorrow at Old Trafford, and both teams will wish for a good win.
