This weekend sees eleventh-place Manchester United take on tenth-place Tottenham Hotspur, with both clubs on seven points having two wins, a draw and two losses in the Premier League so far.
However, whilst both clubs are drawing on points, Spurs have the edge on goal difference with +4 to United’s 0. This comes thanks to great wins over Everton and Brentford 4-0 and 3-1, having only lost by a margin of one, as opposed to United’s 3-0 loss to Liverpool.
Unlike United, Ange Postecoglou has that vast amount of his stars at his disposal, with Erik ten Hag’s choices having been significantly affected by numerous injuries. Whilst Rasmus Hojlund and Mason Mount have returned to the pitch, ten Hag is still without Luke Shaw and new signing Leny Yoro.

Unfortunately for Spurs, however, they’ll be going into the match-up at Old Trafford without two of their top attacking options.
Tottenham Hotspur’s injured men
Richarlison
The Brazilian striker has managed to sustain an unspecified injury while in training before Spurs’ match with Newcastle United, being side-lined since.
Unfortunately for Postecoglou, Richarlison looks nowhere near returning, with the manager commenting: “He is a fair way off, I think you should stop asking me about him until I give you a bit of an update,”
He continued: “He has still not trained with the first team so he is still a bit off.”
At this time, with the injury being unknown, there’s no indication of when the striker is aiming to be back on the pitch.
Wilson Odobert
Odobert joined Spurs this summer from Burnley after the club were relegated from the Premier League at the end of last season.
Joining the London-based side for £25 million, the young winger has featured well for Spurs, although was forced off early in their 2-1 win over Coventry in the Carabao Cup Third Round.
Unfortunately, when Odobert was brought off, the injury was labelled “fairly significant”, marking concern over how long he’d be ruled out of action.
It’s now been confirmed as an issue with his hamstring, however no return date has been revealed, with the Spurs manager commenting: “Wilson doesn’t look good, we are still waiting for it to settle down and get all the information but he will definitely be out for the next period.”
