Tottenham stand at the second position and they are still in a race for the title. Leicester City have 7 points more than Spurs and they are in better position, but Leicester play against Sunderland away, so it won’t be an easy match for them. Home side have to beat Manchester United in order to stay in a race for the title. Tottenham don’t play impressive in the recent period. In the last 7 matches in all competition they have managed to win only two games, so if they want to stay in race for the title they have to start playing better and collecting points. In the first half of the season Manchester United beat Tottenham 1-0, so this could be a good chance for revenge. Their defence is not at the high level in the recent period, so in the last 8 games in all competition they conceded 10 goals. It is too much for the candidate for Premier League trophy. True, they have played against strong teams, such as Borussia Dortmund in the UEFA Europa League, Liverpool, Arsenal and West Ham. If they lose this game, I don’t believe that they will see the trophy of Premier League this season.

Manchester United stand at the 5th position which leads in the Europa League, but that’s not enough for them and they want to finish the season in the Top 4 and play in the UEFA Champions League next season. They have improved their performance and won 4 of their last 5 Premier League matches, including the victories against city rivals Manchester City 0-1 and Arsenal 3-2. Visitors have very decent defence and don’t concede many goals, while on the other side their attack is not at the high level. In the last 7 matches in all competition Man Utd scored only 5 goals. Anthony Martial, who hit the net 3 times in the last 4 matches in all competitions, is in the good form and he will probably be one of the most dangerous players for Spurs.

Tottenham vs Manchester United injuries and suspensions

Home team have no fresh injury concerns. Good news for Tottenham Hotspur is that Jan Vertonghen has recovered from an injury, but he will probably start this game on the bench. Visitors will be without Wayne Rooney and Luke Shaw, while Daley Blind is doubtful, but he will probably be in the first eleven.

Tottenham vs Manchester United possible lineups

Tottenham: Lloris; Walker, Alderweireld, Wimmer, Rose; Dier, Dembele; Lamela, Alli, Eriksen; Kane.
Manchester United: De Gea; Darmian, Smalling, Blind, Fosu-Mensah; Carrick, Schneiderlin; Mata, Lingard, Martial; Rashford.

Tottenham vs Manchester United Prediction

Both teams need points, but I don’t expect open match from the beginning. For home side this is the “must win game” in order to stay in a race for the title and they will do their best in order to take all three valuable points.
