Monday 27th August

Manchester United are in turmoil, talks of a banner flying around the ground bearing words against club vice-chairman, Ed Woodward means most people still very much back Jose Mourinho, but the crisis is deeper than that.

Mourinho has a track record of struggling in his third season anywhere he goes, the signs are clear again, from the way he handled the Anthony Martial situation, to the spat with Paul Pogba, one can tell that the Portuguese needs to check something within.

Tottenham have everything going fine on the pitch, off it they have questions to answer; they have mishandled the stadium issues and must make it up to their fans.

Two wins in two for Spurs and even a goal in August for Harry Kane, he bent one past Fulham to seal the result when the visitors looked like bouncing back.

For United, that horrendous loss at Brighton will haunt them for long, fans will demand for more, they have to give it.

Luckily for Jose Mourinho, They always find a way to beat Tottenham at Old Trafford, no matter how difficult it is, they will always find a way; it was Martial who latched on to a Romelu Lukaku knock down last October, even though they met twice after then and they both won one each.

On paper it will be tight, defensively United are in trouble, they need more than few training sessions to stop the rampaging Tottenham midfielders, fans will hope Mourinho won’t sit deep and bore them to death but trust Spurs to take the game to the Devils.

Verdict: Tottenham to win or draw
