The last edition of this fixture in December ended in a 2-1 Manchester United win that had Mason Greenwood at centre-forward for the first time and José Mourinho handed a first defeat as Tottenham manager. Victory eased pressure on Ole Gunnar Solskjær who had just overseen an insipid draw with Aston Villa. Now the manager is being asked to explain why only Donny van de Beek has been signed in the window. Another victory would go some way to fading out the noise – for the moment, at least. Jamie Jackson
