Two supposed title contenders find themselves in a complicated situation. Follow this clash to see if they can get back on track with a win here.

Perhaps the most interesting game of the upcoming weekend in the Premier League will see Tottenham hosting Manchester United as Saturday's primetime match. Both teams get to this game after suffering heart-breaking losses, and this should give both sides a prime chance to get back to winning ways.

Nuno Espirito Santo's men enter this game ranked sixth in the English top-flight with a record showing five wins and four losses. Nuno's men have found the back of the net nine times, but their defense has not been as on point as expected, conceding thirteen goals in their nine matches. Three of Tottenham's four home games have seen them claim all the points, although they were also defeated by Chelsea in their next-to-last game prior to Manchester United's visit.

Speaking of individual performances, Tottenham will be eager to watch Harry Kane going back to his old form. The English striker has only been able to score and assist once this season, giving fans reasons to think he is still eager on leaving the club. On the contrary, South Korean ace Son Heung-Min has led the team so far with four goals, making him and Kane the major threats against Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's crew.

On the other hand, Manchester United enter this game after being dismantled by Liverpool in front of their supporters. While coach Solskjaer has been facing an escalating amount of pressure, the board is still behind him despite a start of the season where they have won four, drawn two, and lost three. As previously mentioned, their last outing ended in disaster, but that was not exclusive of last weekend's game, as their most recent match away from home also concluded with a heavy 4-2 loss to Leicester City.

Despite these facts, Manchester United still have the tools to turn their situation around, and one of those tools is none other than Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese footballer shares the team's top scorer honors with Mason Greenwood (both with four), and he will surely be the main threat to Tottenham's defense. In Paul Pogba's absence, Bruno Fernandes should step up and carry the team's weight along with his compatriot if they want to keep their coach under pressure at least for the next few days.

These two teams have delivered us some spectacular matches in the past, and with both of them in need of a win right now, we can only look forward to see them collide at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
