Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur have met 191 times in the past. The Red Devils have won 91 times as compared to Spurs' 52. There has been 48 draws between the pair.
The last time the two sides met in a competitive game, a lone goal by Marcus Rashford snatched the win for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side.
It will be too soon for Paul Pogba to return and feature in Wednesday's clash against Tottenham Hotspur despite making great progress in his recovery journey. The French midfielder may at least need to sit out United's next couple of games in order to avoid a relapse.
Relatively, Scott McTominay could be handed a role in the starting XI after recuperating from a foot injury. Nemajic Matic is subject to a late fitness test in order to be declared fit.
For Spurs, Hugo Lloris and Ben Davies remain long-term injury absentees while Michel Vorm and Erik Lamela battle ankle and hamstring injuries. No player is suspended for either side.

Jose is back and there is almost no indication that he will be taking any prisoners if all goes according to his script on Wednesday. The Portuguese manager returns to Old Trafford for the first time as a coach of a club following his sack in December 2018.
While his former side is struggling to find their feet in the Premier League, the 56-year-old has led Spurs to three wins in three with goals flowing from all angles. Jose is indeed back and Old Trafford could potentially not be ready for what is coming.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Manchester United: "[Jose Mourinho will get a] very good reception; that's a testament to the club, the supporters of this club. Of course they remember the time he was here, he won trophies.
"I've had 50 games since then and the club isn't where it should have been and isn't where we want to be, and we know we have to improve."
Jose Mourinho, Tottenham Hotspur: "I feel good, I like to play big matches. I like to play against the best teams and that is the important thing.
"Going back to Old Trafford is to go back to a place where I was happy. I can say that. I have a great relation with the Manchester United supporters.
"I went back as a pundit, which is a different perspective. I was really humbled by such a beautiful reception."
