Manchester United Preview: Can Ten Hag Turn United’s Form Around?

Manchester United Predicted Lineup - Andre Onana; Diogo Dalot, Lisandro Martinez, Matthijs De Ligt, Noussair Mazraoui; Kobbie Mainoo, Christian Eriksen, Bruno Fernandes; Marcus Rashford, Joshua Zirkzee, Amad Diallo

Coming into this game the Red Devils are sat in 11th place on just seven points. This continues the pressure on manager Erik Ten Hag as he looks to keep his job.

United have managed to keep three clean sheets in the league this season thanks to some heroics from goalkeeper Andre Onana - including his double save from this past weekend against Crystal Palace.

However their main issue lies with putting the ball in the back of the net having only scored five goals this season despite having the 3rd highest xG (9.6) in the league and creating the 3rd most big chances (19). They have missed the most big chances as well (17) often costing them in games this season. They will be hopeful they can turn it around in this game though.

Tottenham Hotspur Predicted Lineup - Guglielmo Vicario; Destiny Udogie, Micky Van de Ven, Sergio Romero, Pedro Porro; James Maddison, Rodrigo Bentancur, Dejan Kulusevski; Heung-Min Son, Dominic Solanke, Brennan Johnson

Ange Postecoglou has not been shy about stating how he tends to win things in his second season at the club but it hasn’t been the most amazing start in the league. Right now Spurs sit 10th in the table on seven points.

Impressively they have scored nine goals so far this season. This the 4th most in the league. With many of the goals being spread across the team as well this is very impressive. However they will be concerned by their five goals conceded this season. Something they will look to improve in this game.
