Overview
- Both teams arrive level on 17 points, with a win sending the victor up to second in the table, potentially only briefly.
- Teddy Sheringham rejects the notion of a nervy home crowd, saying Spurs supporters will back their team against Manchester United.
- Sheringham tips a 1-1 scoreline, citing United’s recent defensive improvement and Tottenham’s solidity with Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero.
- Tottenham’s build-up has swung from a 1-0 home defeat to Chelsea to a 4-0 Champions League win over FC Copenhagen.
- Manchester United’s uptick stalled with a 2-2 draw at Nottingham Forest, and they are winless against Spurs since October 2022 across seven meetings.
