Tottenham kicked off their new season without Harry Kane in an exciting match, drawing 2-2 against London rivals Brentford.
The club’s new coach, Ange Postecoglou, urged the team to be more creative after his Premier League debut. He’s eager to avoid Spurs not winning their first two league games, something that hasn’t happened since 2015/16.
Head-to-head
This task seems tough since Manchester United has beaten Tottenham 39 times (at Tottenham Stadium) in PL history, more than any other opponent.
Spurs have only won one of their last nine head-to-head matches and haven’t defeated United at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (D2, L2).
To change that, Postecoglou needs to turn things around. Spurs’ PL games last season had an average of 3.5 goals, a trend that continued against Brentford.
Man Utd heads to the capital (London) after a 1-0 win over Wolves, but their performance has raised doubts.
Manager Erik Ten Hag was happy they found a way to win, but worries arose after Wolves had 23 shots on goal.
Total H2Hs
- Tottenham wins: 53
- Draws: 50
- Manchester United wins: 96
Manchester United Away Performance
United’s away form last season needs improvement. They got only one point against the top nine clubs. Tightening their defence is crucial, as they conceded 33 goals in their away matches, making up 76.7% of their season total.
Son vs Onana
A crucial battle will feature Spurs’ new captain, Son Heung-min, against United’s goalkeeper, André Onana.
Son netted a late equalizer in the recent H2H, while Onana made six saves in his Red Devils debut and kept a clean sheet in his previous trip to Tottenham.
United Last five matches vs Tottenham
The Red Devils have scored at least twice in each of the last five H2Hs (W4, D1).
