Soccer Football - Premier League - Brentford v Tottenham Hotspur - Brentford Community Stadium, London, Britain - August 13, 2023 Tottenham Hotspur's Cristian Romero celebrates scoring their first goal with teammates Action Images via Reuters/Paul ChildsFootball Predictions
Ange Postecoglou will be looking to endear himself to the Tottenham Hotspur fans when he takes on Manchester United in his first home game.
The Australian began his Premier League journey with a 2-2 draw against Brentford last week and knows that fans can be impatient with him if he fails to get a good result against the United side who struggled to conjure a win against Wolves in week one of the Premier League.
This is a game that will be important for Erik ten Hag too as he looks to build on that Monday win and with the fan base still not yet convinced if they have what it takes to challenge for the league title.
H2H/Stats
This will be the 200th time both teams will be meeting. Spurs have never faced anyone as often as they’ve faced United. Overally;
Tottenham wins: 53
Draws: 51
Man United wins: 95
Team News
Spurs handed Guglielmo Vicario and James Maddison their debut in their last fixture and the duo are expected to continue with their roles when United visits. They however might still do without Sessegnon, Gil, Bentancur, Forster, Ndombele, Romero, and Whiteman who are all suffering from different injuries.
Defender Lisandro Martinez was withdrawn in the first half of United’s win over Wolves as a precaution so it remains to be seen if he will be welcomed back to the starting team. New signing Hojlund isn’t still fit to start with other absentees being Amad Dialo and Kobe Maino.
Probable Line-Ups
Tottenham XI: Vicario (GK), Sánchez, Royal, van de Ven, Udogie, Maddison, Bissouma, Skipp, Kulusevski, Son, Richarlison
Man United XI: Onana (GK), Varane, Shaw, Wan-Bissaka, Martínez, Casemiro, Fernandes, Mount, Rashford, Antony, Garnacho
Verdict
These are two teams that are still grappling with a lot of changes. While Spurs’ new manager is known for his attacking style of play, they’ll have to be very careful with United who are prone to building from the back. Another close call awaits but both teams should score.
