Manchester United and Tottenham go head to head in the Premier League

This might be just the sixth game of the Premier League season, but it's already a monster clash for both sides, with Michael Carrick under serious pressure and Roberto De Zerbi's rock-bottom Tottenham still winless. Manchester United have generally been good under Carrick at Old Trafford, losing twice here in 2026, but they've been far from convincing in any game this term, even in the thumping victory over Ipswich. Spurs head to Old Trafford sitting on just two points from a possible 15 and badly need to find some positivity after what has been a miserable start to the campaign. They've won three and drawn one of their last eight trips to Old Trafford (L4).
