EPL Game Of The Week: Manchester United Vs Tottenham – Stats, Insights & More

January 11, 2019

By Lindsay

Manchester United seem to be back to their best with the new coach at the helm but they face their biggest test here with an in-form Tottenham ready to burst their bubble.

TOTTENHAM VS MANCHESTER UNITED – MONDAY 14 JANUARY, 4:30PM, WEMBLEY STADIUM

Spurs

  • Last 5 Matches: WWWLW
  • Ladder Position: 3rd
  • Goal Difference: +25 (GF46, GA 21)

United

  • Last 5 Matches: LWWWW
  • Ladder Position: 6th
  • Goal Difference: +11 (GF 43, GA 32 )

This easily looks like the best fixture in Week 22 and we’re set for an outstanding contest between Spurs and United in London. A Tottenham win would see Spurs seal their first league double over United since 1989-1990 in the First Division.

It will be a step up from their last two Cup opponents with an 8-0 hammering of Tranmere in the FA Cup Third Round and a second string Chelsea side in the Carabao Cup Semi Final.

The Red Devils have already been dealt a favourable hand in the lead-up to this fixture, with Spurs losing Son Heung-min – who had scored seven goals from his last seven appearances across all competitions – and also having played a League Cup Semi-Final against Chelsea earlier this week.

Team News:

Manchester United welcome back Paul Pogba (leg) for the trip to Wembley Stadium, but Marcos Rojo and Chris Smalling (foot) are out.

Alexis Sanchez is doubtful after suffering a recurrence of his hamstring injury and Eric Bailly is suspended.

Spurs team news to follow.
