Match Information:
- Time: 23:30 on January 14, 2024 (Vietnam time)
- Venue: Old Trafford Stadium (MU’s home ground)
The clash between Manchester United (MU) and Tottenham is the highlight of Premier League Round 21. Both teams are currently targeting a crucial top-four finish at the end of the season.
At present, MU is showing highly inconsistent form, making them the underdogs even while playing at Old Trafford. The Red Devils are facing serious issues with several key players sidelined due to injuries, leading to a lack of fluidity in their gameplay, especially exposing vulnerabilities in the midfield.
The recent FA Cup match against Wigan highlighted MU’s alarming trend of poor conversion of chances into goals. Despite creating numerous opportunities against a weaker opponent like Wigan, MU had to rely on individual moments from Diogo Dalot and a penalty from Bruno Fernandes to secure the win. Facing a strong team like Tottenham, they may not get as many chances, posing a significant concern for the home team.
On the other hand, Tottenham has regained form by winning four out of their last five Premier League matches. Compared to Manchester United, Tottenham plays a more structured and effective style of football.
With 42 goals scored in 20 rounds, Tottenham boasts the fourth-strongest attack in the league, trailing the leader by only three goals.
In their previous encounter, Tottenham convincingly defeated MU 2-0. However, the absence of key player James Madison in the upcoming match is a significant disadvantage for Tottenham. Madison’s ability to drop deep and receive the ball is crucial in breaking MU’s high pressing system.
Additionally, Son Heung-min’s absence, as he joins the South Korean national team, will noticeably weaken Tottenham’s attacking prowess. Both teams have their challenges, making it likely that the team scoring first will have a higher chance of securing overall victory.
