Tottenham preview: Topsy-turvy form
Tottenham put in a limp display in their London derby with Chelsea last week, losing 1-0 in a match that saw Thomas Frank's side register just one shot on target.
They responded well in their midweek UEFA Champions League tie with Danish outfit Copenhagen though, recording a 4-0 win at home which included a memorable solo goal by centre-back Micky van de Ven - the Dutchman's sixth goal in all competitions this season.
Man Utd preview: Positive mood despite Forest draw
Man Utd's three-game winning run in all competitions came to an end last Saturday when they had to settle for a point in a 2-2 draw with Sean Dyche's Nottingham Forest at the City Ground, and they are tied on 17 points with opponents Tottenham ahead of this fixture.
The Red Devils' only win away from home this season came against Liverpool at Anfield last month, and Ruben Amorim will be hoping that his men can rise to the occasion once more against a Spurs side they haven't beaten in over three years.

Man Utd team news: Martinez close
Lisandro Martinez continues to build up his fitness following his nine-month injury lay-off, but this fixture may come a little too soon in his recovery and it is more likely that he returns to the first-team squad after the international break.
With Harry Maguire returning to the bench against Nottingham Forest, there are no other known absentees in Amorim's camp, and an unchanged starting line-up would not be a surprise given recent results.
Predicted XI (3-4-2-1): Lammens; Yoro, De Ligt, Shaw; Diallo, Casemiro, Fernandes, Casemiro, Dalot; Mbeumo, Cunha; Sesko

Tottenham vs Man Utd prediction
This is the first meeting between Tottenham and Man Utd since the former won the pair's UEFA Europa League final last season, which continued Tottenham's positive recent trajectory in this fixture. The London club have won the last four meeting between the two in all competitions, and are unbeaten in the last seven head-to-head contests.
The tide could potentially change here though. With no European football this season, Man Utd have finally managed to get into something of a rhythm, while Tottenham were in Champions League action midweek and may be feeling some fatigue ahead of this Saturday lunchtime kick-off.
Draw no bet on the visitors has potential.
