Manchester United vs Tottenham Preview
Both participated in Europa League action during the week. The Manchester United have the advantage of their tie with Twente taking place on Wednesday, while Spurs hosted Qarabag 24-hours later. Man United have found the net five times from an xG of 9.6 – the third-highest figure in the top flight. But after a reasonably promising run, United’s form has changed of late. Erik ten Hag’s side were held to a 0-0 draw by Crystal Palace last time out before drawing 1-1 with FC Twente in the Europa League.
James Maddison has been a shrewd signing for Lilywhites who has transformed this team with his wonderful passing range and creativity. Alejandro Garnacho has started the new season in breathtaking form scoring four goals and assisting another three from eight matches in all competitions. United have won 24 Premier League home games against Tottenham – only Arsenal have beaten an opponent more often at home in the competition’s history.
Manchester United vs Tottenham Team news
Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia and Leny Yoro remain sidelined, though changes from the team who drew with Twente can surely be expected. Cristian Romero will return to the side after his European suspension. While James Maddison and Pedro Porro are also expected to start. Marcus Rashford has had a mixed start but appears to be finding his rhythm after what many considered an underwhelming campaign.
