5 point preview of Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United
Manchester United haven’t made it to a cup final this season yet but it’s still Wembley time as they head to Tottenham Hotspur’s temporary home for a crucial midweek Premier League game.
The fight for Champions League places is well and truly on and this battle between two of the ‘Big Six’ teams is sure to have implications on the outcome of the season.
Spurs go into this match fifth on the table, 8 points behind Manchester United in second place.
While the club from London would be looking to cut the gap between the rivals, the Red Devils would be looking to keep the momentum goin and hoping that their noisy neighbours drop some points before the end of the season.
The last time the clubs met in the Premier League, it was a very close encounter and only a late Anthony Martial goal in the 81st minute gave United 3 points.
This match is sure to be another close one, so let’s jump right into the 5 point preview.
#5 Manchester United’s Unbeaten Run
Since their home defeat against Manchester City on December 10 which derailed their title challenge, United have been on an unbeaten run of sorts – no team are on a longer current Premier League unbeaten run than the Red Devils's 8.
The Reds have also started 2018 brightly, with a 100% winning record across competitions without conceding a goal.
They would be looking to maintain that winning run against a club who are currently struggling for momentum – the last two games for Spurs have resulted in 1-1 draws.
