Manchester United vs Tottenham: 5 Key Battles that will decide the outcome

#1 Harry Kane vs David De Gea

Like I said, it's Kane vs De Gea; just look at Chris Smalling

Traditionally, we'd have put in Harry Kane vs the opposition's central defenders... but Harry Kane vs Chris Smalling is not even a battle (although Eric Bailly is an altogether different proposition); so assuming that Kane targets, isolates, and beats Smalling... the match could hinge on just how good David De Gea is on the day.

On his A-game, his ability to stop goals is unparalleled in world football - just ask Arsenal - and his ability, or inability, to frustrate the most prolific Englishman of our time could well decide this semi-final.
