Manchester United will hope to continue their impressive Premier League form when they take on Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford on Saturday afternoon.

United secured a last-gasp 3-2 victory over Fulham last time out, continuing their perfect start under interim manager Michael Carrick.

Tottenham, on the other hand, came from behind to secure a 2-2 draw with title hopefuls Manchester City.

Historically, this fixture has served several memorable contests, and Saturday’s meeting could be another despite the varying form of the two sides.

United are the league’s most in-form team, having collected 12 points from their last six games. They have scored 12 goals and conceded eight goals during that period.

The Red Devils have played with better attacking fluidity under Carrick, but defensive frailties remain, as evidenced against Fulham.

Captain Bruno Fernandes is expected to play another key role here. He could become the third United player to register an assist in five consecutive league games.

Tottenham will be buoyed by confidence, given their spirited performance against City and their recent impressive record against United.

Spurs are unbeaten in their last eight meetings with the Red Devils. Manager Thomas Frank is also unbeaten...
