Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou always wins something in his second season at a club and the pressure is on.
While Spurs got back to winning ways on Sunday following their 5-0 victory at Southampton, quite how much can be taken from that is up for debate given the Saints’ perilous position in the Premier League.
Still, a victory over United would be a statement of intent.

It’s difficult to imagine Spurs winning quite as easily as they did in the 3-0 victory against Erik ten Hag’s United in September.
Still, with United yet to wholly convince, Postecoglou has to be confident.
