Tottenham Hotspur return to Premier League action this afternoon when they take on Manchester United.
Tottenham need a win at Old Trafford this afternoon
Following three wins in a row in all competitions, Tottenham now face the former Premier League champions at Old Trafford with both sides looking to kick-start their respective league campaigns.
Heading into the fixture Spurs and United both have seven points from their opening five top-flight fixtures, with Ange Postecoglou‘s side having beaten Brentford 3-1 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in their last league outing.
United, in contrast, are on a run of three games without a victory having been held to a 0-0 draw by Crystal Palace in their last league outing before drawing 1-1 with FC Twente in the Europa League on Wednesday.
Tottenham had concerns over the fitness of captain Heung-min Son after the striker was forced off in the second half of the 3-0 win against Qarabag in the Europa League on Thursday evening due to a hamstring issue.
The home side are still without the services of Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia and Leny Yoro due to respective injury issues, while Richarlison and Wilson Odobert are long-term absentees for Tottenham.
