Tottenham Hotspur host Manchester United in the Premier League’s early kick-off today, with both sides hoping to pick up an important win against a potential top four rival.
Thomas Frank’s side were booed off in their last domestic home match in the insipid 1-0 loss to Chelsea, though the 4-0 win over Copenhagen has recovered some good will from the home faithful ahead of the visit of United.
Spurs’ home form has been among the worst in the league though, having won just one of five home matches in the league so far, and today they face a United side who have seen an upturn in their own dismal form despite the draw with Nottingham Forest last time out.
Ruben Amorim has eased some of the pressure with wins over Liverpool and Brighton but the performance at Forest showed some familiar issues, though a match against a Spurs team who beat United three times last season – most notably in the Europa League final –is the perfect chance to prove his side are on the right track.
Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the match.
