A brief reprieve from the negative headlines appears to be over for Manchester United and under-fire boss Erik ten Hag. The Red Devils’ lack of potency in front of goal meant they could only draw with both Crystal Palace and Twente, converting just one of their 33 shots across those two games into a goal! Ten Hag admits he and his players need to “look in the mirror” after the Twente result, and with a tough run of fixtures on the horizon, there’s no room for more slip-ups.
Consistency has been a problem for United for a while now, best demonstrated by the fact that they have a perfectly split record across their last 15 matches in the Premier League (W5, D5, L5). Things don’t get much better at Old Trafford where their last 19 league outings have produced just nine victories (D3, L7), but the visit of Tottenham could inspire a turnaround given that United have won 24 H2Hs on home soil in this competition - one shy of the all-time record against one opponent held by Arsenal (vs Everton).
Tottenham arrive in Manchester after a much more impressive showing in Europe, routing Qarabağ 3-0 despite being reduced to ten men inside the opening eight minutes. That resilience must be especially pleasing for manager Ange Postecoglou given that his side came from behind to win their two previous games, leaving the door open for Spurs to win four successive matches for the first time since last October.
No defeat from the last three H2Hs should mean the travelling contingent are confident (W1, D2), but they’re certainly not bulletproof on their league travels. Spurs picked up 14 points from the first 18 available in away matches under Postecoglou in the Premier League, but remarkably, they’ve only managed a further 14 from the next 15 such outings (W3, D5, L7)!
Players to watch: After missing out on United’s last PL outing, a return to the XI could see Marcus Rashford add to his six previous H2H goals. Curiously, all of those strikes came in either the first or last six minutes of either half. Tottenham’s Brennan Johnson - whose father came through the Manchester United academy alongside the ‘Class of 92’ - has netted in three successive matches, but he’s never scored in four consecutive games in his senior career.
Hot stat: Tottenham have won 28 points from losing positions since the start of last season - only Manchester City have managed more.
