Match Preview: Tottenham Hotspurs vs Man United

The games keep coming thick and fast and this time we make the trip back to North London against a Spurs side unbeaten at home all season.

The game will be live on Sky Sports in the UK but here is a site you can stream all the action for yourself (http://cricfree.sc/football-live-stream).

Our 25 game unbeaten run and hope for a top four finish are all but over so we'll have nothing to lose when the lads take to the field on Sunday.

Having beaten Spurs earlier in the season, we can expect a fight as they bid to secure a second place finish after Chelsea wrapped up the title on Friday at West Brom.

Jose Mourinho has made it obvious that the Europa League final is our main game left but still counts this encounter as still important.

"We can win a trophy and by winning that trophy we can play Champions League next season, so that's the game. We are not going to say that matches are not important matches. They are important.

"But we have one that is more important than others. But the match on Sunday is important for us, too."

We all know anything can happen in football. We could still pip several teams above us if all results went our way...stranger things have happened in football.

United will be buoyed by the fact that Celta Vigo were unable to cause a major upset and while we are winless in our last three league games after winning the previous four on the road, we'll need a faultless performance to beat Spurs.

Latest team news for me?...Yes

We all know we'll be missing five players: Marcos Rojo, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Luke Shaw, Ashley Young and Tim Fosuh-Mensah through injury and Marouane Fellaini through suspension.

With the boss confirming he'll stick with Sergio Romero in goal in Stockholm, David de Gea will be back in goal for the remaining league matches as usual.

Eric Bailly will also have to play as he's suspended for the final and as the boss said that will be important inorder to give other players a much needed rest.

"If he doesn’t play in the final, he has to play the remaining matches in the Premier League and give rest to some of the others."

We could also see Axel Tuanzebe and Scott McTominay back in the squad after their impressive debuts last week at Arsenal. Another youngster Matty Willock was also travelling with the first team to London.

The hosts will have to play without injured midfielders Erik Lamela and Harry Winks while defender Danny Rose is still unfit.

Tottenham come in to the game on the back of a bitter defeat at West Ham last week that ended their title hopes.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan was the match winner when we met Spurs back in December in what was his first Premier League goal.

Harry Kane is yet to score a goal against Manchester United

---

Of course, we have the upper hand when it comes to the head to head record having won 88, drawn 48 and lost 49 of the last 188 encounters.

In fact, we've beaten Spurs in the last three games at Old Trafford but are winless at White Hart Lane since 2012.

It's set to be a match of defences too with both teams having lost the fewest games (4) this season.

After we played West Ham in their last ever game at Upton Park, we are set to do the same at White Hart Lane as Spurs will now be playing their home matches at Wembley next season to enable the construction work of their new stadium go on.

Any match stats from Opta? Yes sure...

United have failed to score in their last two away league trips to White Hart Lane - in the Premier League era, they've only failed to score in three consecutive away games against an opponent twice - Everton (three games between August 2012 and April 2015) and Chelsea (four games between November 2003 and May 2007).

Tottenham could go unbeaten at home for the first time in a league season since 1964/65 (W16 D2 L0 this season).

Jose Mourinho hasn't seen his side score in an away league game against any of the current top six clubs since January 1 2015 in a 5-3 defeat at Tottenham while Chelsea manager. Four of the seven games since have finished 0-0 (L3).

Harry Kane has scored against 23 of the 25 clubs he has faced with Tottenham in the Premier League - though he's yet to score in six appearances against United.

Three of United's four Premier League defeats this season have been in games played on a Sunday immediately after a European match.

Spurs have won their last 13 home league matches - one short of their club record run of 14 between January and October 1987.

Spurs' only win in their last 15 home Premier League games against Manchester United came in last season's 3-0 victory (D6 L8).

That 3-0 defeat for United is the only time they've conceded in their last five Premier League games against Spurs, keeping four clean sheets.

Jose Mourinho has failed to win on his last four Premier League visits to White Hart Lane (D2 L2) and hasn't won a league game there since August 2005, when his Chelsea side defeated Spurs 2-0.

Spurs have lost more Premier League games against United than against any other opponent (32) - indeed, in their top-flight history Spurs have lost 77 games against them, eight more than they have against anyone else.

These are the other games set for today:

Sunday 14 May

Crystal Palace v Hull City (2:00 PM)

West Ham United v Liverpool (4:15 PM)
