Tottenham vs Manchester United preview
As they prepare to meet for the third time this season on Sunday (11:30 am ET), both sides find themselves stuck in an historically bad moment of their club’s history. With 13 Premier League defeats already (and 14 games still to play), Spurs (14th – 27 points) are barreling toward the club’s worst season since 2003-04 when they lost 19 times and finished 14th.

And things aren’t any better for Manchester United (13th – 29 points), who have finally bottomed out (maybe) after years of slowly sinking as a result of numerous regrettable managerial hires and player signings. The Red Devils were also on the wrong end of Spurs’ best results of the season — 3-0 in the PL in September, and 4-3 in the League Cup quarterfinals — serving as Dr. Manchester United, for the notorious “Dr. Tottenham.”
Spurs’ injury crisis appears to be relenting at long last and as many as six players could make their long-awaited returns from injury in the coming days. Chief among them would be hopefuls Micky van de Ven, Guglielmo Vicario and Brennan Johnson, but any combination of the six will give Postecoglou new options to change the game in the second half. Vicario, James Maddison and Destiny Udogie are all expected to be available for Sunday’s game, with Van de Ven, Johnson, Cristian Romero and Dominic Solanke still targeting next week. Ruben Amorim doesn’t have an injury crisis to point to as the main reason for his side’s poor results since he took over back in November (4W-2D-7L in the PL, and 9W-3D-8L in all competitions), with few, if any, signs of improvement in nearly three months.
