With both managers desperate for a win, Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United promises to be a thrilling encounter. Ange Postecoglou is feeling the heat as he tries to guide Spurs away from the relegation zone amidst a severe injury crisis plaguing his team, while Ruben Amorim is under increasing scrutiny, with the Red Devils on course for their worst domestic finish since 1974.
A victory for Tottenham would not only propel them above United in the table but also represent just their second consecutive Premier League win this season – and their first since September.
United will be eager to prevent another disappointment, as morale at Old Trafford is critically low. Tottenham have already defeated United twice this season, securing a 3-0 Premier League triumph at Old Trafford in September and a 4-3 win in the Carabao Cup in December. Here, we have provided all the essential details for those who want to watch this pivotal clash at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Spurs and United team news
Tottenham's most recent team news reveals a glimmer of hope as Postecoglou's injury-ravaged squad could see some potential returning players.
Guglielmo Vicario, Destiny Udogie, James Maddison, Brennan Johnson, and Timo Werner are all pushing for fitness and may feature in Sunday's match. However, Dominic Solanke, Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, Radu Dragusin, Richarlison, and Wilson Odobert remain injured.
January loan acquisitions Mathys Tel, who was close to signing with United, and Kevin Danso are tipped to start.
United's latest team news does indicate a shorter injury list than Spurs, but still includes key absentees from the squad. Luke Shaw is recovering from a muscle injury sustained in December, and manager Amorim is cautious about his return.
"Luke has one small issue in the different area from the last injury, so we try to be careful with Luke," he commented before the last-minute FA Cup victory over Leicester.
Lisandro Martinez is out for the season with a knee injury he sustained against Crystal Palace, while Mason Mount is still weeks away from a comeback. Jonny Evans remains doubtful, and the duration of his absence has yet to be confirmed.
