We are back: Review and Team news: Tottenham Hotspur v Manchester United
Tomorrow night (Friday) at 8.15 Sky.
Tottenham are back, but only on Sky. The first time in over
20 years I've missed a match. I thought only death or severe illness would ever
prevent me from missing Spurs… and it
ended up neither.
So, like millions of others, I will be glued in front of my computer
and processing my voucher (from Tottenham), so I can watch Spurs on NowTV.
Before the closedown and with all our injuries, I didn't give
us much chance against United or even the Spammers. But thanks to the lockdown I've
got new hope (all our players are back… well, almost).
TEAM NEWS
Harry Kane and Son Heung-min are fit again, and both should start
against Manchester United, that is according to according to Jose Mourinho. Giovani
Lo Celso will have an injury assessed and Dele Alli is banned for a social
media post mocking coronavirus.

MATCH FACTS
Head-to-head
Manchester United have won three of the last four meetings
in all competitions, losing one.
United could win consecutive Premier League away matches
against Spurs for the first time since a run of six between September 2001 and
February 2007.
Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham are winless in their last six games in all
competitions.
They have kept four league clean sheets this season, the
joint fewest in the division.
Spurs have never won a competitive match in June. most
recently losing last season's Champions League final against Liverpool.
Jose Mourinho has lost all three of his league games as
Spurs head coach against sides he has formerly managed.
Harry Kane has scored just twice in 11 Premier League
appearances against United. Kane's ratio of a goal every 457 minutes is his
worst against any Premier League opponent.
Son Heung-min has scored in five successive Spurs appearances
in all competitions.
Manchester United
United are unbeaten in 11 matches in all competitions,
winning eight, scoring 29 times and keeping nine clean sheets.
They have kept four clean sheets in their last five
top-flight matches, as many as in their previous 35 Premier League games
combined.
However, United have only won four of their past 18 Premier
League away matches.
Nemanja Matic could make his 200th Premier League
appearance.
Since his Premier League debut, Bruno Fernandes leads
United's charts for goal involvement (two goals, three assists), chances
created (11) and most shots (19).
We need to win the next two games to have any chance of
getting into the top four. Arsenal lost, and Sheffield United drew, all will
help us. I am going for a 1-0 or 2-1 win.
COYS!
