5 Premier League fixtures you can't miss this August

#5 Manchester United Vs Tottenham Hotspur

Manchester United v Tottenham Hotspur - The Emirates FA Cup Semi Final

Rounding off the August highlights in the Premier League fixture list is the showdown between Spurs and Manchester United. Both sides will expect three points from this game in what promises to be a thrilling encounter.

Having started the season with games against Leicester and Brighton, Man Utd should expect to enter this game with maximum points. In addition, Mourinho should have a full squad to choose from by August 29th with all World Cup players expected to be ready for action. A win here and the Red Devils could become early pacesetters in the league.

Spurs, meanwhile, come into this fixture on the back of games against Newcastle and Fulham. They will also hope to have maximum points and will arrive at Old Trafford hoping to inflict damage on a rival early in the season. The whereabouts of Tony Alderweireld could be a major talking point for this game.
