Tottenham vs Manchester United
English Premier League 2016
10th April, 16:00 pm BST
White Hart Lane, London
Manchester United travel to White Hart Lane for a thrilling Premier League clash against Tottenham Hotspurs this weekend. Spurs host Manchester United in the Premier League this season and the London giants desperately need a win here.
The Londoners are second in the League table and are in desperate need of a win here. Mauricio Pochettino’s side are trailing the league leaders by seven points and another poor result would be the end of their title dream.
The last time these two sides met, Spurs were beaten at Old Trafford and Pochettino will be looking to avoid a repeat of that result.
Manchester United are still in the top four race and a win here puts them in a great position going into the last five games of the season. It should be a fascinating battle between two teams who are very well organised at the back and have a lot to play for.
Under pressure, Manchester United manager Louis Van Gaal has done very well in the big games and will be looking to continue that trend here.
