Manchester United are continuing their preparations for a crucial Premier League clash with their fellow top 4 rivals Tottenham. United will be desperate to return to winning ways after being totally outplayed and outfought by Man City at the Etihad last Sunday in a 4-1 humbling defeat. On the other hand, Tottenham Hotspurs are in high spirits after they trounced Everton 5-0 on Monday night. The Red Devils are currently at position 5, one point behind arch rivals Arsenal who have 3 games in hand.
United have failed to win in their last 3 previous games and the fans will be looking to a response of the defeat they suffered from city rivals although optimism can not be high amongst the fanbase right now. Antonio Conte has overseen a bunch of impressive as well as dismal results recently and he has become an epitome of inconsistency in football. Spurs could rise to position 4 with a win at Old Trafford but they will need to do so with a 5 goal margin which is highly unlikely. Jose Mourinho embarrassed his former club with a 6-1 victory at Old Trafford last season as Spurs manager and United stormed to a 3-0 win which cost Nuno Espirito Santo his job.
United will need to be weary of a danger that Harry Kane posses as he has recently surpassed Thiery Henry in the all-time Premier League goalscoring charts with his 175th and 176th strikes in the competition. It will be a mouth-watering match for football lovers as Manchester United and Tottenham battle it out to remain alive in the Premier League top four race to secure a Champions League spot.
