Manchester United vs Tottenham Hotspur (9 pm IST)

Manchester United will welcome Tottenham Hotspur to Old Trafford in what promises to be a pivotal clash for both sides. The pressure continues to mount on United manager Erik ten Hag after a frustrating 1-1 draw with FC Twente in their Europa League opener. Despite Christian Eriksen’s early wonder strike the Red Devils were unable to hold on with Sam Lammers netting a second-half equaliser.

Tottenham Hotspur, on the other hand, under Ange Postecoglou have found some attacking rhythm recently scoring eight goals in their last three games. Their 3-0 win over Qarabag in the Europa League following a comeback victory against Brentford in the Premier League has breathed new life into the North Londoners.

However, Spurs’ away form remains a concern with just two wins in their last 12 Premier League matches on the road. With both teams sitting in the mid-table this match could be crucial in setting the tone for their seasons. Neither side has been able to find consistent form and will look to take it up a notch this weekend.

Prediction: Manchester United 1-1 Tottenham Hotspur
