On the other hand, Manchester United have won four of their last five games, though their most recent league match ended in a 2-0 home defeat to Crystal Palace.
Paul Merson has offered his prediction for the upcoming clash between Spurs and Man United at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Merson believes Tottenham and Manchester United are currently “as bad as each other,” while acknowledging Spurs’ injury issues.
Nevertheless, he thinks Tottenham have a stronger front line, which he believes will make the difference in the match.
The pundit predicts a 2-1 victory for Tottenham over Ruben Amorim’s side.
“Whoever loses this game is in big trouble,” Merson wrote on Sportskeeda. “I don’t even know where to start because both Tottenham and Manchester United are as bad as each other!
“Spurs can point to their injuries, but what’s United’s excuse at the moment? Ruben Amorim has to change things up.
“I know he has been true to his philosophy but he needs to realise the players available at Old Trafford are not fit to play that way.
“You can’t stay adamant like this at the cost of losing games! Next year, when you have the right players for your system, try it out.
“I saw him put the new kid Patrick Dorgu in an unnatural position on his debut. I mean, what is this?
“I’d be shocked if Manchester United win this game. I think Spurs have the better forwards and that will end up being the difference between the sides.
“This is Manchester United we’re talking about and they should be smashing Tottenham in an ideal world.
“But I can’t even seem them beating Palace at the moment, how can I expect them to win this game then?”
