Manchester United vs Tottenham Hotspur Premier League Match Preview or Key Statistics 📊
Man Utd are unbeaten in their last three Premier League meetings with Spurs (W2 D1), having lost four of their previous six against them in the competition before this (W2).
Tottenham's last six top-flight away wins against Manchester United have all come under different managers, in a run stretching back to Bill Nicholson in March 1974 (also Keith Burkinshaw in 1976, Terry Venables in 1989, Andre Villas Boas in 2012, Tim Sherwood in 2014 and Mauricio Pochettino in 2018).
None of the last 14 Premier League meetings between Man Utd and Spurs at Old Trafford have ended level, with the Red Devils winning 11 to Spurs' three.
Manchester United have only lost both of their first two home games to a league season four times previously (1930-31, 1948-49, 1969-70 & 1986-87). Indeed, on the last occasion this occurred (1986-87), the Red Devils' two defeats both came to London clubs (West Ham United & Charlton Athletic) -they lost to Crystal Palace in this season's opener.
Tottenham have kept just two clean sheets in their last 27 Premier League away games, with both of those shutouts coming last season against teams who were eventually relegated (0-0 v Watford, 0-0 v Bournemouth).
After scoring five goals from just nine shots against Southampton in their second league game this season, Tottenham scored just once from 23 shots in their last match against Newcastle, eventually shipping a stoppage time equaliser from the penalty spot.
Manchester United have found the net in each of their last 15 Premier League games, the longest current run of all current 20 sides in the competition.
Spurs boss Jose Mourinho is winless in his last six away league games against sides he's previously managed (D2 L4). Bruno Fernandes has been involved in 17 goals in his 16 Premier League games for Manchester United (9 goals, 8 assists).
His 100th minute penalty strike against Brighton last time out is the latest Premier League winning goal since exact goal-times are available (2006-07).
