Ange against Erik do battle

The biggest match of the Premier League weekend takes place on Sunday as Man Utd host Tottenham at Old Trafford.

Erik ten Hag and Ange Postecoglou would have wished for better starts to their respective campaigns, but this match presents a good opportunity for one side to kickstart their season.

Match Preview

Man Utd Recent Form

Man Utd are unbeaten in four games in all competitions but they are still reeling from consecutive losses against Brighton and Liverpool a month ago.

That unbeaten run doesn’t tell the full story, as they are coming off two disappointing draws against Crystal Palace in the Premier League and Twente in the Europa League.

Man Utd Injury News

Man Utd are still missing Luke Shaw, Leny Yoro and Tyrell Malacia but Victor Lindelöf could return to feature for the first time this season after a toe issue.

Rasmus Hojlund and Mason Mount have recovered from recent injuries and are free for selection.

Tottenham Recent Form

At the beginning of September, Tottenham suffered two damaging losses in a row against Newcastle and in the North London Derby against Arsenal.

They have bounced back from those defeats, though, winning three in a row against Coventry in the League Cup, Brentford in the Premier League and Qarabag in the Europa League.

Tottenham Injury News

Spurs have a new, major injury concern for the game as Heung-min Son had to be withdrawn against Qarabag due to a minor knock. He’ll be assessed before kick off.

Wilson Odobert and Richarlison are also out.
