Manchester United entertain Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on Saturday, as the Red Devils attempt to bounce back after their shocking 2-1 defeat at Huddersfield Town.
Spurs are riding the crest of a wave, and Harry Kane is in sumptuous form ahead of the mighty clash at Old Trafford.
Man United and Tottenham will be face to face this Sunday in English Premier League at 14:15 so try not to miss it.
Man United is ranked 6th place in the standings with 21 points, 19 goals scored and 16 goals received in the last 14 league matches.
Tottenham are ranked 5th place in the standings with 27 points, 24 goals scored and 10 goals received this season in English Premier League. In their last match they won against Swansea. Tottenham lost only one match from the previous 5 played before this meeting with Man United.
The attacking skills of Tottenham are decent; they won 2 from the last 5 matches.
In stark contrast, Kane and other players have found their most dangerous form after crushing Liverpool 4-1 at Wembley Stadium.
United have threatened to fall to a defeat in recent weeks with a brief set of lacklustre performances, and the early injury to Phil Jones cost the team dearly in their last match. Substitute Victor Lindelof could not settle against the Terriers, and the Red Devils were poor as they lost 2-1.
Kane will be hoping he faces Lindelof at the Theatre of Dreams, and the day could turn out to be a nightmare for the Sweden international.
The Spurs hit man is the top goal scorer in the division on eight goals, according to WhoScored.com, but he appears more dangerous with every passing game this term.
Lukaku has seven goals in eight appearances for United in the league this season, stepping up to the level many thought he was capable of and justifying his expensive price tag, believed to be around £75 million (about $99 million).
United could lack confidence in the match as they rocks with many injuries to first team players.
The north London sides are level on 20 points with the Red Devils, as Spurs attempt to climb to second.
As Mauricio Pochettino prepares to take Tottenham Hotspur to Old Trafford on Saturday to play José Mourinho’s Manchester United, he would do well not to look at the record between the two teams.
Over the years, United has been the dominant force in this fixture, winning almost double the amount of games it has lost. Yet the recent rise of Spurs under Pochettino has changed the dynamic between the two clubs somewhat, with Tottenham achieving victory in two of the last three encounters.
This fixture has produced some high-quality results and plenty of excitement in the past, with seven- and eight-goal thrillers. It has also seen some of English football’s best managers go head-to-head, and this game will be no different. Mourinho and Pochettino are among the Premier League’s most talented managers, and their futures may be interlinked.
Meanwhile, Leaders Manchester City attempt to continue their streak at the top of the table as they arrive at West Bromwich Albion.
Chelsea face a tough road trip, with the champions travelling to the south coast to meet Bournemouth, while Liverpool hosts Huddersfield at Anfield.
