Last week Manchester United beat Omonia in the fourth round, which was the third victory and brought the second position in the standings. In addition, after a series of losses at the start of the season, United hopes to reach the final top four by the end of the season, for which it is necessary to win even today. Eric ten Hag’s wards are seven points behind the enemy. It is impossible not to recall that the Mancunians won the last three head-to-head matches against the Spurs, while success today will help them repeat a series of four successful head-to-head meetings since 2009. The Red Devils have five victories and a draw, which correspond to 16 points and the fifth line in the standings. Last Sunday the hosts drew at home with Newcastle (0:0). Martial, Maguire, van de Beek, Williams, Wan-Bissaka, Grenwood and Eriksen, who is not yet in the best shape, will not be able to play today.
Tottenham suffered from injuries to leading players. Richarlison and Kuluszewski are still out of the game, which does not prevent the club from continuing to fight for a place in the first quartet. Moreover, a victory in today’s match may allow the capital club to take second place in the table. In addition, the Spurs have an excellent run of 15 unbeaten matches in the last 16 duels. On account of the “white-lilac” there are seven victories and two peaceful outcomes, which led to the third position and 23 points. Not bad played the line of attack, which differed 22 times. In the last two duels Hotspurs beat Brighton (1:0) and Everton (2:0). In the Champions League, the guests have two wins and a draw, which ultimately corresponds to seven points and the first line in the standings. Last week the guests beat Eintracht (3:2). Kulushevsky, Tanganga, Richarlison and Emerson Royal, who has a red card, will not be able to play today.
