Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United are set to clash in what promises to be an interesting encounter at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday. No one in his right mind would have imagined both United and Tottenham this low in the table after 24 games but here we are. With challenging runs this season for both, the latest clash will be critical for both teams as they currently fail to find a consistent run in the League. Earlier, Ange Postecoglou's men suffered a 2-1 loss to Aston Villa in the FA Cup continuing a miserable run in 2025 marking their 6th defeat while they are already out of the Carabao Cup after facing elimination by Liverpool.
League Form
United currently sit 13th in the Premier League only two points and a single position above Spurs who also are having a miserable season. Both sides have faced recent difficulties, with managers Ruben Amorim and Ange Postecoglou under mounting pressure following inconsistent results. Earlier in the season, Tottenham edged past United with a 3-0 win at Old Trafford but currently, both teams struggle. Tottenham have only one win in their last five league fixtures while United won only twice and drew one.
Head to Head
Historically, encounters between the two sides have been fiercely contested. From the famous 5-3 win by United at White Hart Lane to a Ronaldo hat trick a couple of seasons ago, the game has always been an interesting one. Spurs managed a notable 3-0 victory in their last meeting at Old Trafford when United was still under Erik ten Hag, the dynamics have shifted with Ruben Amorim taking the reins at Manchester United. The Sunday clash will test whether both teams can break away from past disappointments and find a consistent run in the league or if the misery continues for both of them.
Team News
Injury woes continue to affect both teams. For Manchester United, center back Lisandro Martine will be missing after undergoing surgery on his ACL alongside other key players including Luke Shaw, Jonny Evans, and Mason Mount. On the other side, Spurs also have major injury concerns with Radu Dragusin, Richarlison, Vicario, Romero and van de Ven all out for the game. Vicario, Udogie and James Maddison are among those expected to make a comeback. New signing Mathys Tel from Bayern is expected to make his first start for the London outfit.
Manchester United will be coming into the game with probably their best available squads as Alejandro Garnacho is expected to take the no 10 position after a brilliant cameo in the FA Cup. New signing Dorgu is also expected to start while Joshua Zirkzee may line upfront instead of Rasmus Hojlund who struggles for form in the league.
