The rejuvenated Manchester United are confident they can get yet another positive result when they welcome Tottenham to Old Trafford on Saturday afternoon.
Man United have looked a new side under manager Michael Carrick, with their most recent dramatic 3-2 victory against Fulham taking them back into the top four with 41 points. This was their third successive league win.
They host a struggling Tottenham side who are yet to win a Premier League game this year. Their last victory came against Crystal Palace last December, winning 1-0 away from home courtesy of an Archie Gray header.
Their poor run of form leaves Spurs in 14th place with 29 points, just nine above the drop zone. This means that Thomas Frank’s stint as Tottenham coach is on the line, with many reports suggesting that defeat at Old Trafford could be the last game in charge for the Danish manager.

Man United vs Tottenham prediction
The home team look a brand-new side under Carrick and after beating top teams such as City and Arsenal, they have shown they have what it takes to win when it counts.
However, their recent poor run against Spurs, who are desperate to return to winnings ways may play a role here. This means we can expect at least a goal from each side as they both push for the all-important victory.
United remain favorites to win here and continue their impressive run of form.
