EPL Game Of The Week: Man Utd Vs Tottenham – Preview, Stats & Insights

January 4, 2019

By Lindsay

With both teams winning four of their last 5 it was obvious that this should be the game of the week.

  • Sunday, January 13th 4:30pm
  • Wembley Stadium

Manchester United have turned their form around since the sacking of Jose Mourinho. Their attack has turned deadly having scored 14 goals in their last 4 appearances and their defence has been just as impressive with only 3 goals scored against them.

We can’t help but feel they will have to be at their best here as Tottenham have been equally impressive after scoring 15 and conceding 5 in their last 4 appearances.

Tottenham will also be looking to keep the pressure on Liverpool who are still on top of the table after their defeat to Manchester City yesterday.

If Tottenham are able to defeat the reds here and Liverpool fail to defeat Brighton on the road they will move within 3 points which will have Liverpool nervous again.

Harry Kane has been the go-to man for the Hotspurs and with 14 goals to his name this season, it’s easy to see why.
