The weekend’s biggest Premier League game sees two sides looking to rebound from humbling derby-day defeats in the last round. Tottenham Hotspur’s 1-0 loss at West Ham United was their fourth Premier League reverse against London-based opponents this term, accounting for all their league losses this season. Their midweek League Cup win over Burnley will have boosted spirits somewhat in what was their fifth competitive game in a row decided by a one-goal margin.
Uh oh, Tottenham Hotspur has lost more Premier League matches against Manchester United than they have versus any other side in the competition 36 in total!
Players to watch might include Harry Kane who has netted four times in this PL H2H, with two of those goals coming last term. Meanwhile, Marcus Rashford’s return to the Man United side has seen him score two second-half goals in three appearances.
Hot stat: No side has registered zero second-half goal attempts more often than Spurs (three) in the PL since the start of last season.
