Manchester Utd - Tottenham Match Preview

In this match of English Premier League in football Manchester United will play at Old Trafford against Tottenham Hotspurs.

Manchester United is currently in fifth place in Premier League with 47 points won from 28 matches played. They are one point behind the fourth-placed Arsenal but they have played three matches more than them. If they lose in this match it will be hard for them to catch the top four places and will probably miss out a Champions League spot next season. The imperative is a win here.

They are without a win for three matches in a row. In their last match, they were trashed easily against City with 4:1. They will try to have their revenge after last season's disaster at this stadium when Tottenham won 6:1. Man Utd managed to win in the last two matches against Tottenham, both of those were played in London.

Tottenham has finally awakened and are playing well in recent matches. Still, they are not close to their best form and in the last ten matches, they won only in five. They are in 7th position in the league and are only two points behind United. In their last league match they won 5:0 against struggling Everton, while in the round before that they had beaten Leeds with 4:0.

If they want to get into the top four places in Premier League they need to start winning on the road. They have only 6 wins in 13 matches away from their stadium.

This will be a great match. Both teams want a win from it and there should be goals. I believe that United have a bigger motive and want their revenge on the disgrace from last season when Tottenham won 6:1 at Old Trafford. Cristiano Ronaldo is doubtful but even without him, this United team should be the favorites.
