Foot & Soccer Soccer Match Reports, Football News
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 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Spurs have a new, major injury concern for the game as Heung-min Son had to be withdrawn against Qarabag due to a minor knock.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.
