Match Preview
Manchester United will hope to make it two successive Premier League wins when they host Jose Mourinho and his Tottenham Hotspur brigade on Sunday. Following the disappointment in their season opener against Crystal Palace, fortune favored the Red Devils to secure a 3-2 win in a keenly contested game with Brighton & Hove Albion.
The Seagulls were on course to take home a point after netting a 95th minutes equalizer but saw their luck running out when a bizarre penalty call went in favor of the Old Trafford outfit after the referee had already blown the final whistle. Four days later, Graham Porter's men had the opportunity to vindicate themselves in the Carabao Cup fourth round but failed miserably as, this time, United strolled home with an convincing 3:0 victory.
In the grand scheme of things, the Manchester club will hope to draw inspiration from the fact that they are on a three-game winning run in all competitions. As far as their last 10 outings are concerned, they are unbeaten in seven of their last 10 outings.
For Tottenham Hotspur, Mourinho will basically be asking for more of the same as he aims to upset his former employers on Sunday. It has been a relatively encouraging spell for the Portuguese manager and his men who are now unbeaten in seven consecutive games across all competitions. The most recent one was the 7-2 thumping in the Europa League qualification game against Maccabi Haifa.
Prior to that, Spurs successfully knocked out Chelsea from the Carabao Cup on penalties after drawing 1-1 in regulation time.The impressive results add on to the London outfit's seven wins in its last 10 outings with one of the games ending in a draw and two in defeats.
Jose Mourinho will be looking for blood when he graces his former stomping grounds and the desire to upturn Tottenham's poor away showing against the established "big six", as well as his unimpressive record against Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, might just come in handy this time.
