Tottenham vs Manchester United: preview, free tip and statistics

29.10.2021 07:00

Saturday's part of the tenth round of the top English football competition will be closed by the showpiece of the round when the Red Devils from the red part of Manchester take on Tottenham in North London.

Background information, news and team form

Tottenham have been giving very erratic performances this season. On the one hand, Tottenham is able to beat Manchester City 1-0 at home even without their top scorer - Harry Kane. On the other hand, they lose 3-0 at home to Crystal Palace with one shot on target in the whole game. Tottenham is playing in the Conference League in the European Cups this season. For Tottenham, this European competition serves mainly as an opportunity where the Portuguese coach can give space to young offspring, which is also why Tottenham is only in third place with 4 points behind first Rennes and second Vitesse. The last place is occupied by the Slovenian team Mura with zero points.  Tottenham, despite their erratic performances in the league, are in sixth place in the Premier League and have 15 points after nine rounds played. Manchester United are one point behind Tottenham in seventh place, and this match is a battle for six points for both of them, which could move them away from their rivals in the position ahead of them. United fans must have imagined a very different start to the season after the dream summer sending off. Manchester did manage to salvage an unfavourable result against visiting Atalanta in their last Champions League game, turning a 0-2 draw to 3-2. But in the last three league games, it has been a disaster. First came a 1-1 home loss to injury-plagued Everton, followed by a 4-2 away loss to Leicester Foxes. The biggest blow, however, came last week when the home Red Devils succumbed 0-5 against their archrivals, Liverpool. The first 4 goals fell in the first half when Keita, Jota and 2 goals from Salah managed to get through. Salah added another goal in the second half to complete his hat-trick. The match was also marked by an incident in the 60th minute when Pogba fouled the visiting Keita after 15 minutes on the pitch, and he had to be carried away on a stretcher and his season ended. Home superstar Cristiano Ronaldo also showed his emotions, receiving a merciful yellow card when he unsportingly kicked a prone Curtis Jones. After this debacle, there was speculation about the resignation of the home pilot Solskaer, but the club's general assembly decided that he will still get a chance in the next game, against Tottenham and we will see further. Meanwhile, the media is tipping Italian coach Antonio Conte as the most realistic successor to Solskaer, with whom the club has already started talks.

Absentees and probable line-ups 

Tottenham will once again be missing the long-term injured Ryan Sessegnon. Another absentee will be youngster Bryan Gil, who picked up a thigh injury in the last round of the EFL Cup. Manchester will miss the gutted Paul Pogba after his excess in the last game. However, Raphael Varane could return to the line-up after suffering a groin problem. Antony Martial and Ahmad Diallo should also make this game.

Tottenham - estimated line-up:

Lloris - Emerson, Romero, Dier, Reguilon - Skipp, Hojbjerg - Lucas, Ndombele, Son - Kane

Manchester United - estimated line-up:

De Gea - Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Maguire, Shaw - Matic, Fred - Sancho, Fernandes, Rashford - Ronaldo
