Match Preview
Wednesday’s high-profile match between Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur is featuring two of the Premier League’s top four contenders.
Manchester United is still very much a work in progress, as judging by their Saturday scoreless draw with Newcastle United. Although the Red Devils might not exactly have a spring in their step just yet, they are a far away from the hopeless team they were last season, and there is a sense of optimism at the club.
It’s understandable that several of the officials’ calls during the match against the Magpies may leave Erik ten Hag’s team feeling unfairly treated. Jadon Sancho and Cristiano Ronaldo both keep missing opportunities to win penalties, and even Newcastle United’s most persuasive request was dismissed.
Nevertheless, Manchester United put together a number of thrilling plays, which was excellent given the absence of Christian Eriksen and Anthony Martial. In the final seconds of the game, Marcus Rashford, a substitute, had a great chance to take all three points, but he headed wide after a lovely Casemiro cross.
Currently ranking fifth in the standings, Manchester United is going to take on Tottenham Hotspur in a challenging midweek match. Their Wednesday opponents win over Everton by 2-0 thanks to goals from Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Harry Kane.
It took some time for Antonio Conte’s team to get rolling and overcome a tenacious Everton defense. However, they were able to complete the task in the second half and kept third place in the Premier League standings.
Even though Spurs are at the top of the rankings, they haven’t exactly impressed. They have only won two of their seven away games this season in all competitions, which is somewhat concerning given their road form.

Team News
Marcus Rashford should be well enough to start for United, and Ten Hag may decide to bench either Jadon Sancho or Cristiano Ronaldo in favor of the developing striker. While Christian Eriksen is uncertain, Harry Maguire, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, and Donny van de Beek sit out of the match. Scott McTominay is finally free after a ban.
Richarlison’s absence and concerns that Dejan Kulusevski is still recovering from a hamstring injury may force Conte to go to one of his backups to bolster the Tottenham attack.
If the Spurs manager opts to switch from his preferred 3-4-3 system to a 3-5-2, Yves Bissouma is prepared to play in midfield once more.
