Form Guide
The home side come into the game following a drab 0-0 draw at home to Newcastle United on Sunday. Erik Ten Hag's team was left frustrated by the visitors with Cristiano Ronaldo suffering the most. He was fuming when he was subbed off, being replaced by Marcus Rashford who later missed a chance to win the game in the dying minutes.

Tottenham, meanwhile, head to Old Trafford after collecting 3 points at home to Everton. Antonio Conte's side were lucky not to concede in the first half with the visitors having 2 chances to take the lead. However, Spurs dominated the second half, not letting Everton have a single shot on goal. A Harry Kane penalty and a late goal from Pierre Emile Hojbjerg gave the home side a deserved 2-0 win.
The last meeting between the sides was also at Old Trafford. A Ronaldo hattrick helped Manchester United to a 3-2 win over their rivals. The Red Devils also have the better record in the game of late. They have recorded 3 wins out of the past 5 games, with Tottenham's sole win being a 1-6 victory at Old Trafford under Jose Mourinho.
Both Sides Need To Win
For the home team, victory in the game will help prove that Erik Ten Hag's rebuild is working after being hampered by a 6-3 defeat to Manchester City after their improvement from the disastrous opening two games. Depending on Chelsea's result, a win will take them into the Top 4.
For Tottenham, a victory is needed to prove they have what it takes to compete in the title race. A win will see them reduce the gap to one point to their North London rivals Arsenal who sit on top. Also, with both their rivals and 2nd placed Manchester City not playing this week, victory will heap pressure on them to perform.
