Notable figures
Man United and Tottenham are both in dire need of points in the Premier League, as the two teams are in the bottom half of the table.
A victory in a direct confrontation will help one of the two teams improve their position, hoping to catch up with the group of teams participating in the European Cup next season.
Last round, Tottenham beat Brentford 2-0 away. This is their first win in the Premier League since December 2024.
However, Tottenham were later left out of the English League Cup by Liverpool, defeated by Aston Villa in the fourth round of the FA Cup.
Tottenham are winless in their last seven Premier League home games (D2 L2), their longest run in the competition since an eight-game winless run between March and October 2008.
These five losses in the last seven Premier League games have been more than in the previous 17 home games (W13 L4).
Postecoglou's side are aiming to win back-to-back Premier League games for the second time this season. They have won twice against Brentford and Man United in September 2024.
In contrast, Man United lost 0-2 at home to Crystal Palace in the most recent round, before being lucky enough to beat Leicester City in the FA Cup, thanks to the decisive goal of Harry Maguire in extra time.
Since Ruben Amorim took charge in November 2024, only five teams have won fewer Premier League points than Man United (14 points). Amorim is also the fourth manager to lose seven or more of his first 13 Premier League games in charge of the Red Devils, along with John Chapman (10), AH Albut (7) and Jimmy Murphy (7).
However, in the same period, Spurs (called Tottenham) have lost 8 matches in the tournament, and also lost 16 points after taking the lead, more than any other team.
A bright spot under Amorim is Amad Diallo's form. No player has scored more goals (6) or provided more assists (6) for Man United in the Premier League this season than this winger.
However, Diallo has not scored or assisted in any of his last three Premier League games, making just two shots during the time, while 10 chances have not led to a goal.
Mathys Tel, a player loaned to Bayern Munich and also linked with Man United in the winter transfer window, scored his first goal for Spurs against Aston Villa. The team hopes he will continue to show good form.
Son Heung-min has not reached the peak of recent seasons, despite contributing to both of Spurs' goals against Brentford. When assisting Pape Sarr, the Korean star became the club's top assist provider in the Premier League, with 69 assists, surpassing Darren Anderton (68).
Tottenham vs Man United head-to-head record
Tottenham have beaten Man United twice in all competitions this season, 3-0 in the Premier League and 4-3 in the League Cup quarter-finals.
Since the 1989-1990 season, Spurs have not beaten Man United three times in a season, while the last team to beat the Red Devils three times in a season was Chelsea in 2012-2013.
Tottenham are unbeaten in their last four Premier League games against United (W2 D2) and are aiming for a double win over the Red Devils in the English top flight for the first time since the 1989-1990 season.
The Tottenham vs Man United match will take place at 11:30 p.m. on February 16.
