Manchester United will be looking to return to winning ways in the Premier League this weekend, as they take on Tottenham on Sunday afternoon.
United fell to a disappointing home defeat last time out in the Premier League, and although they did respond with a home win over Leicester City in the FA Cup last week, Ruben Amorim's side will be looking to bounce back against a Tottenham side who are currently decimated by injury.
United have injury issues of their own, though, heading into the game, with Lisandro Martinez ruled out with a long-term injury, while Mason Mount, Jonny Evans and Luke Shaw are still not ready to feature this weekend.
So, can United claim an important three points on the road against Tottenham? Let's take a look...
Tottenham vs Man United score predicted
To complete this simulation, we used EA FC 25 and updated the squads with the latest injuries and suspensions.
We predict that Tottenham could line up in a 4-3-3 formation, with their starting XI as follows: Vicario; Porro, Danso, Davies, Spence; Bentancur, Bissouma, Maddison; Kulusevski, Tel, Son.
We predict that Man United could line up in a 3-4-2-1 formation, with their starting XI as follows: Onana; Yoro, De Ligt, Maguire, Dalot, Ugarte, Fernandes, Dorgu; Mainoo, Hojlund, Amad.
United's back three were under siege in the opening stages, with Spurs eventually taking the lead in the 23rd minute, through their new signing Mathys Tel. Son Heung-min drove at the United defence before playing a pass into the striker before managing to squeeze a finish past Andre Onana, who probably should have saved it at the near post.

In the second half, United looked the stronger of the two sides, but Spurs defended well to keep the away side at arm's length. Ruben Amorim's side really struggled to create any clear-cut chances, with most of the side's chances coming from shots from outside the box.
It was a really poor game overall, but one lapse in concentration caused all the damage for United, who were disappointing in attacking areas. EA FC 25 predicts that United need to be at their best this weekend against Spurs, and can't afford to be below par, particularly going forward.
