Two of the most underachieving teams in the Premier League will square off in North London today. Tottenham haven’t won a home game in the Premier League in the last three months. United have not won in their last two fixtures in The Premiership.
Tottenham have not won at home in the Premier League since November of last year. The Spurs have five draws and two losses over their last seven PL home games, That’s just awful to be honest. Tottenham lost two significant games recently. To Liverpool in the semi of the League Cup and to Aston Villa in the 4th round of the FA Cup. The club is in dire need of some positives going forward. Like a win and three fresh points.
The Spurs are currently at the 15th position in the Premier League table. Only ten points above the feared relegation zone. The Spurs took care of Brentford in their most recent PL game and that was their first win in the top tier since they won against Southampton on December 15th. The manager Ange Postecoglou is still with the club. How long will he last in North London?
Harry Maguire was the hero for United at Old Trafford when they got the better of Leicester in the 4th round of the FA-Cup the past weekend (2-1). Maguire scored the decisive goal in stoppage time against his former club. United currently sit at the 14th position in the PL table with 29 points. Two points more than the Spurs have.
Across all competitions United have won four out of their last five fixtures. The players are responding to manager Amorim's tactical vision on the pitch. As of now United is a work in progress under Amorim. United have faced Tottenham twice this season (Ten Hag as the manager) and lost both games.
Tottenham has a lot to still deal with on the injury front. Romero, Dragusin, Solanke, Van De Ven, Richarlison are all out. Maddison, Udogie, Vicario, Werner, Johnson and Odobert are doubtful. As far as United goes Lissadro Martinez is out. Diallo too. So are Evans, Mount, Shaw, Bayindir and Heaton. Ugarte, Mainoo and Collyer are also out.
Spurs: Vicario; Porro, Gray, Danso, Spence; Sarr, Bissouma, Bergvall; Kulusevski, Tel, Son United: Onana; De Ligt, Maguire, Yoro; Mazraoui, Eriksen, Casemiro, Dalot; Fernandes, Garnacho; Zirkzee,
