Manchester Utd
TottenhamManchester Utd welcome Tottenham to Old Trafford on 10 October for Round 6 of the Premier League, with both clubs searching for better results after difficult starts to the season. United sit 12th with five points from five matches, while Tottenham are bottom of the table with two points and no wins. The visitors have scored just twice in the league, compared with United's eight goals, although the hosts have also conceded eight.
United remain inconsistent as Tottenham struggle for goals
Manchester Utd's only league victory so far was a 5-2 win over Ipswich. Since then, they have drawn 2-2 with Everton, lost 1-0 at home to Manchester City and shared a 1-1 draw with Fulham. A 3-2 defeat against Brighton in the EFL Cup added to their recent frustrations.
Tottenham's league campaign has been even more difficult. Defeats to Brentford and Newcastle were followed by goalless draws against Nottingham and Everton. Their first league goals finally arrived against Aston Villa, but they still lost 3-2. A 3-1 EFL Cup defeat at Liverpool also forms part of their recent run.
Bruno Fernandes stands out amid notable absences
Bruno Fernandes has been Manchester Utd's strongest recent performer, with midfielder Youri Tielemans and striker Matheus Cunha also impressing. For Tottenham, full-back Pedro Porro has been among the more consistent performers.
United will be without Kobbie Mainoo through injury, while Amad Diallo, Patrick Dorgu and Manuel Ugarte are also sidelined. Tottenham have absences of their own, including Micky van de Ven with a wrist injury, Dejan Kulusevski and Xavi Simons with knee problems, and Richarlison, who is inactive.
Tottenham's historical edge, but United won the latest meeting
Tottenham have had the better of the recent head-to-head record, winning five of the last ten meetings. Manchester Utd have won twice, with three matches ending level.
The most recent encounter, however, went United's way. Bryan Mbeumo and Bruno Fernandes scored in a 2-0 Premier League victory at Old Trafford, following a 2-2 draw in the previous league meeting at Tottenham.
United enter this fixture with the stronger scoring record, but only one league victory to show for it. Tottenham's immediate concern is turning their improved attacking return against Aston Villa into points after five matches without a win.
