Manchester United face Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon, in the penultimate match of gameweek six in the Premier League.
Erik ten Hag’s side will look to climb above Spurs in the Premier League table after a mixed start to the season for both sides, with United having drawn 0-0 to Crystal Palace last weekend. Spurs beat Brentford 3-1 in a commanding performance last Saturday, though losses to both Newcastle and Arsenal demonstrated that Ange Postecoglou’s side can be every bit as frustrating as they are talented.
The two sides know that three points today could prove pivotal in the race for top four come the end of the season, and with both capable of either brilliant or frustrating displays, it promises to be an intriguing match in Manchester, particularly with Ten Hag seeming to be continuously under pressure.

Man Utd v Spurs – live
It’s 11th against 10th today and, while we’re early in the season and don’t need to read too much into that just yet, does hint at the up-and-down nature of these sides.
From five league games they’ve both won two, drawn one and lost two – though Spurs will argue they also won their Europa League opener, while United drew in midweek with Twente.
Much more is expected from both, regardless.
