Pre-match information
Manchester United will aim for their fourth consecutive victory under the guidance of interim coach Michael Carrick when hosting Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford.
This is the first rematch between the two teams since August last year, when Matthijs de Ligt scored in the 90+6 minute to help the "Red Devils" pull back the 2-2 draw away from home.
Since Ruben Amorim left the hot seat and Carrick took over, Man United has undergone a strong transformation. They have won all 3 recent matches, and extended their unbeaten streak in the Premier League to 7 matches (4 wins, 3 draws).
After impressive victories against the two leading teams in the league, Arsenal and Man City, Man United continued to show their bravery when they defeated Fulham 3-2 at Old Trafford last weekend. Benjamin Sesko's dramatic decisive goal in the 90+4 minute extended Man United's momentum.
Meanwhile, Thomas Frank and Tottenham Hotspur are experiencing a difficult home season. Only Wolves (5 points) have fewer home points than Spurs in the Premier League this season (10 points).
Last weekend, after a lackluster first 45 minutes against Manchester City, another terrible scenario seemed to have struck. However, Tottenham took advantage of Man City's slow pace after the break to rise up and equalize impressively, thanks to Dominic Solanke's double.
Spurs have not won in the last 6 matches in the league - the longest since the 7-match streak in the 2024-2025 season. And the upcoming challenge is even heavier, because they have to face a much sharper Man United, especially in set pieces. The Old Trafford home team has scored 14 goals from dead balls (excluding penalties), only behind the leading team Arsenal (17).
