Tottenham Hotspur vs. Manchester United
After the desolate 5-0 home defeat against Liverpool FC, Manchester United will be looking to make amends on the coming Premier League matchday. But it won’t be too easy, because the upcoming opponents – Tottenham Hotspur – can also handle the ball quite well. Kick-off for this game is at the Tottenham Stadium on Saturday evening at 18:30.
United have been fairly successful in their last few visits to Spurs. In April 2021, there was a 1-3 away win, and the Red Devils still managed to take four points from the two away games before that.

Tottenham -Man United Tip
Of course the house is in a bad way at United. Coach Solskjaer was already criticised before the 0:5 against Liverpool, now the situation has been aggravated. However, his coaching chair is still wobbly and has not already been overturned. FC Barcelona finally pulled the ripcord after the 0:1 against Rayo Vallecano and sacked coach Koeman after the many disappointments of recent weeks. If United lose against Spurs, who have lost three of their last five games, his days may finally be numbered.
Tottenham Form & Balance Check
Man United may be deeper in crisis, but Spurs haven’t had much to smile about recently either. After a perfect start and three 1-0 victories from the first three games (including against Manchester City), things started to go downhill. Three defeats followed against the three London teams Crystal Palace (0:3), FC Chelsea (3:0) and FC Arsenal (3:1). Three derby defeats in a row were certainly not easy for the fans to cope with. The defeat at arch-rivals Arsenal FC must have hurt especially.
Spurs with too little offensive action
But since then there has been improvement in sight. The following two games against Aston Villa (2-1) and at Newcastle United (2-3) were both won before Spurs suffered another defeat at West Ham (1-0) last matchday. However, a defeat against the in-form Hammers is by no means a disgrace this season. Nevertheless, the season so far shows that Tottenham will probably have nothing to do with the top 4 for the time being. The main problem is definitely to be found in the offensive. Despite the great quality, Harry Kane & Co. have only scored nine goals in nine games.

Man United form & balance check
It was foreshadowed ahead of the game that Liverpool would emerge victorious from their top-of-the-table clash against Manchester United. But what happened at Old Trafford was something that even the biggest Liverpool fanatics would not have thought possible. The Reds shot the Red Devils out of their own stadium with an incredible 5-0 defeat, and the game was already over at the break. Naby Keite (5th) and Diogo Jota (13th) gave LFC an early lead, Mohamed Salah put the lid on it with goals in the 38th and 45.+4 minutes before the break.
When will United pull the ripcord?
In the 50th minute, the score continued at 0:5. For the third time on the day, Egyptian Salah, who is currently considered the best player in the world by many an expert, scored. The subsequent red card for Paul Pogba (60th) fitted perfectly into the picture. Cristiano Ronaldo should have been sent off in the first half. For United it was already the fourth winless game in a row in the league (three defeats). In the Champions League, the record only looks slightly better thanks to CR7’s last-minute qualities. Slowly, you really have to ask yourself what else has to happen for those responsible at the English record champions to finally pull the ripcord and fire coach Solskjaer. In any case, there has been no improvement in sight for weeks.
Man United Facts & Analysis
– 14 points from 9 games
– Last lost 0:5 against Liverpool
– 1 point from last 4 matches
– Won 2 of last 3 away games at Spurs
Predicted line-up – last update on 28 October 2021
Spurs have started two league games in a row unchanged recently and we believe the same eleven will be on the pitch against United. For Dele Alli and Steven Bergwijn, only the bench would remain in this case.
At United we can be curious about the personnel consequences of the 0:5 against Liverpool. Paul Pogba will not be available due to his red card. Ultimately, however, we do not expect any major changes in the starting eleven. Jadon Sancho may get a new test.
