Tottenham are unbeaten in seven meetings with Manchester United, winning each of the last four, their longest ever streak in the 126 year history of this fixture.
The Red Devils have lost three successive clashes with Spurs in North London, as many defeats as they suffered across the 22 previous visits beforehand.
Tottenham vs Manchester United preview
171 days ago, these two clubs met in the Europa League Final at San Mamés, with Brennan Johnson's goal in Bilbao securing glory for Tottenham Hotspur. A lot has changed since May, so will Spurs prevail again, or can Manchester United win in N17 for the first time in over four years?
Ten matches into this Premier League season, these two clubs both kick off on 17 points, but it is Manchester United supporters feeling better about life right now. Rúben Amorim had never enjoyed back-to-back Premier League victories since arriving in England, before changing that with a streak of three successive victories in October, defeating Sunderland, Liverpool and then Brighton.
Last weekend, the Red Devils' winning streak did come to an end, but the positivity remains. That's because Man United played out an entertaining 2-2 draw with Nottingham Forest at the City Ground, taking the lead through Casemiro's header, before Amad's stunning late strike snatched a share of the spoils. All of this has propelled Manchester United up to eighth, knowing a victory in North London on Saturday lunchtime would see them jump up to second, even if only temporarily.
The same can be said of sixth placed Spurs, but their supporters are not best pleased with what they are seeing. That's because only West Ham and Wolves have taken fewer points at home this season, with the Lilywhites yielding just a solitary point from their last four league outings at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Last Saturday evening, they were easily swatted aside by fierce rivals Chelsea, the match significantly more one-sided than the scoreline would suggest, the hosts mustering just three shots, creating zero big chances and accumulating a miserly xG of 0.1.
Thus, it was very important that Thomas Frank's team did claim a Champions League victory on Tuesday, smashing København 4-0 at home. Brennan Johnson, Wilson Odobert and João Palhinha all on target, but the goal of the night was scored by Micky van de Ven, driving from the edge of his own box all the way into the København penalty area before finishing cooly. This moves Spurs up to tenth in the Champions League table, with a trip to Paris Saint-Germain next on their agenda.
Back in the Premier League, up next for Spurs is a North London derby, so this is a tough sequence of fixtures. Before then, can Frank get supporters back onside by claiming a memorable victory, which would be their first home league win since the opening day?

Tottenham team news
Thomas Frank remains without Radu Drăgușin, Ben Davies, Kōta Takai, Yves Bissouma, James Maddison, Dejan Kuluševski and Dominic Solanke due to injury. Lucas Bergvall is also sidelined due to a concussion suffered against Chelsea, but Mohammed Kudus could return following a knock.
Randal Kolo Muani led the line against København on Tuesday, but Mathys Tel, who isn't in the UEFA squad, a decision Frank may regret, is likely to do so here.
Djed Spence is set to be restored at left-back, while Frank has been widely criticised for deploying a midfield pairing that is too defensive. In a change, Pape Matar Sarr partnered Rodrigo Bentancur in mid-week, but will Champions League scorer João Palhinha be restored for this one?
Tottenham Hotspur predicted lineup vs Manchester United: (4-3-3): Vicario; Porro, van de Ven, Romero, Spence; Palhinha, Bentancur, Simons; Kudus, Odobert, Tel.
Tottenham player to watch vs Manchester United
Xavi Simons is still yet to score in any of his 13 appearances for Tottenham, so now would be a good time for the Dutch international to change that fact.
Manchester United team news
Considering his team's unbeaten streak, and the fact they've had a week to prepare for this trip to North London, there is little reason for Rúben Amorim to tinker with his lineup.
Leny Yoro could continue to get the nod over Harry Maguire at the back, while Amad continues to impress at right-wing-back, meaning more defensive options such as Noussair Mazraoui and Patrick Dorgu will remain on the bench.
Manchester United predicted lineup vs Tottenham Hotspur: (4-3-3): Lammens; Yoro, de Ligt, Shaw; Amad, Casemiro, Fernandes, Dalot; Mbeumo, Cunha, Šeško.
Manchester United player to watch vs Tottenham
Bryan Mbeumo now has five Manchester United goals to his name, while he has previously bagged four goals in his last four meetings with Spurs, three of which have come in N17.
Tottenham vs Manchester United prediction
This game is impossible to predict. Their encounter in January was excruciatingly dull, as was the Europa League Final, but this one promises to be rather more entertaining, hence why we're forecasting a high-scoring draw in North London: Tottenham Hotspur 2-2 Manchester United.
