One of the biggest games of the weekend takes place at Old Trafford on Sunday, when Manchester United host Tottenham Hotspur in a match that could have a big impact on the battle for fourth place.
United’s results have been inconsistent at best recently, with just two wins in a difficult December, but a win could reignite their season – while a defeat against Angelo Postecoglou’s Spurs would mean they still have a lot of climbing to do, and the away side would remain in a great position to qualify for the Champions League.
Both teams will also face significant injury problems at the weekend. United could be missing up to ten players with several players questionable ahead of the game, while Spurs’ injury crisis is slowly easing and they will still have to make do without at least nine players with three key players away on international duty.
