The Premier League features a clash between two formidable teams this weekend as Tottenham Hotspur lock horns with Erik ten Hag's Manchester United side in an important clash at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United Preview
Tottenham Hotspur are currently in ninth place in the Premier League standings and have not made a particularly positive start to their season. The North London outfit played out a 2-2 draw against Brentford last week and will need to take it up a notch in this fixture.
Manchester United, on the other hand, are in seventh place in the league table at the moment and have improved under Erik ten Hag. The Red Devils edged Wolverhampton Wanderers to a narrow 1-0 victory in their previous game and have a point to prove this weekend.

Manchester United were uninspiring in their victory against Wolverhampton Wanderers last week and have plenty of work to do in the coming months. The likes of Marcus Rashford and Bruno Fernandes are yet to hit their stride this season and will need to step up this weekend.
