Preview
Manchester United head into this after a drubbing last week against rivals, Manchester City in the Manchester Derby 4-1.
De Bruyne and Mahrez scored a brace each while Sancho found the net for United. The abject disappointment of the fixture was the manner in which the visitors gave in rather than the score-line.
This took United out of the top 4 with Arsenal taking their place at this critical juncture of the season.
After 2 winless matches against Watford and City, United has no option but to win this one as their top 4 hopes could well be dashed if they drop points.
On the other hand, Tottenham made it successive league wins with a 5-0 win over Everton last week.

Kane led the way with twin strikes alongside goals from Son, Reguilon and an own goal from Keane helping Spurs push to 7th place in the table.
Tottenham’s top 4 hopes this season linger on this contest as well with them needing a win to keep it alive.
Hence, this is set to be an intriguing battle between two giant sides.
Both sides last met in October, where United won 3-0 at the home of Spurs with goals from Ronaldo, Cavani and Rashford.

Prediction: Man United 3-2 Tottenham
With both sides being suspect at the back, we see goals in this one. But the hosts would be certainly more under the pump given last week’s result and playing at home.
We see United nicking this one as they are can only look forward after a couple of poor results. Due to this, they look forward to stepping on the ante.
Players to watch out for: Ronaldo, Pogba, Son and Kulusevski.
