Both teams in need of big result in the Premier League
Manchester United host Tottenham in the Premier League this weekend with both teams in need of what would be a big result.
After a reasonably promising run, the mood music around United has changed of late. Erik ten Hag’s side were held to a 0-0 draw by Crystal Palace last time out before drawing 1-1 with FC Twente in the Europa League.
A run of three games without a victory would pile even more pressure on the Dutchman, who is yet to fully convince in the dugout.
Spurs, meanwhile, overcame Brentford last time in the League before then picking up an opening European win, beating Qarabag 3-0 despite playing more than 80 minutes with ten men after Radu Dragusin’s red card.
Here’s everything you need to know about the game.
Man Utd vs Tottenham is scheduled for a 4.30pm BST on Sunday 29 September, 2024.

Ten Hag confirmed on Thursday that United were not carrying any fresh injury concerns. Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia and Leny Yoro remain sidelined, though changes from the team who drew with Twente can surely be expected.
Alejandro Garnacho, Kobbie Mainoo and Ramsus Hojlund are all pushing to start.
Tottenham will assess Heung-min Son after the forward was forced off against Qarabag with fatigue. Richarlison and Wilson Odobert are out.
Cristian Romero will return to the side after his European suspension, while James Maddison and Pedro Porro are also expected to start having been rested in midweek.
