Manchester United vs Tottenham Hotspur live preview Premier League

Manchester United：

In 2023, Manchester United experienced a contrasting year with a lackluster start but a positive turn in domestic competitions in 2024. Despite concerns, they secured a 2-0 victory against Wigan in the FA Cup. However, a recent 2-1 loss to Nottingham Forest leaves them eighth in the Premier League, nine points away from a Champions League spot. Facing Tottenham, Ten Hag aims to avoid the risk of suffering 10 top-flight losses, a scenario that historically led to management changes for the Red Devils.

Tottenham Hotspur：

Tottenham, under Ange Postecoglou, achieved a notable 2-0 victory over Manchester United, but their recent form includes a close call against Burnley in the FA Cup. With five wins in six matches, they finished 2023 strong and are within one point of fourth-placed Arsenal. Inconsistent away performances pose a challenge, and facing a historical home advantage for Manchester United, Tottenham seeks a first double against them since the 1989-90 season.

Analysis：

Manchester United's Andre Onana is expected to continue guarding the goal despite being called up for the Africa Cup of Nations. Manager Erik ten Hag provided a positive injury update, with Luke Shaw, Casemiro, and Lisandro Martinez returning to training. However, several players, including Mason Mount and Harry Maguire, are likely to miss the game. On the Tottenham side, Son Heung-min, Pape Sarr, and Yves Bissouma have joined their national teams, while new signings Timo Werner and Radu Dragusin might make their debuts. Cristian Romero has a slim chance of involvement, and several players, including Ben Davies and Giovani Lo Celso, are ruled out due to injuries.
