Manchester United VS Tottenham, All You Need To Know About The Biggest Game Of The Weekend

Jose Mourinho

Manchester United will face Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford on Saturday. Manchester United will enter into the match with gaining some confidence from their League Cup match against Swansea City. But Tottenham will be slightly upset after getting out of the League Cup with a defeat against West Ham on Wednesday.

 

Manchester United are currently situated at second place in the League Table. They had earned 20 points from their 9 encounters so far. They had won 6 matches and two of their games were drawn. They faced the only defeat in the Premier League this season against Huddersfield Town in the previous week. The shock defeat with a margin of 2-1 was surely a warning bell for Mourinho’s team. They must have to point out the faults and have to play with their full potential against a team like Spurs.

 

Tottenham Hotspur are currently situated in the 3rd place with same points of United from the same number of matches. Their attacking line is really showing an impressive run this season. They had beaten Liverpool with a margin of 4-1 in previous weekend. But the defeat against West Ham in the round of 16 clash of Carabao Cup will slightly lower their confidence level. But they will surely wish to turn things around for them from this match.
