Manchester United meet Tottenham in the 29th round of the Premier League. Last weekend, the Red Devils were defeated by their city rival Manchester City with 4: 1. As has happened several times this season, United performed well in the first half, but collapsed after the break. Surely everyone at the club will want to forget the second 45 minutes of the Etihad visit, after not even a blow to Ederson's door.
Manchester United collapsed at the first major challenge in the Premier League, which raises questions about the possible future of Ralph Rangnik at the club. The program in the first days at the head of the German was easy, but more difficult matches are yet to come, which will answer many questions. It seems to me that this Manchester United squad is still not playing to its full potential and will again have problems against a rival in the Big Six.
Tottenham consolidated the 4-0 victory against Leeds, defeating Everton 5-0 at home. The Spurs showed the best they are capable of and deservedly congratulated themselves with three points, after giving the Caramels almost no chance to threaten Hugo Loris dangerously. The success brought Tottenham closer to the Top 4 and gave some hope to the team's supporters that the fourth position is still an achievable goal. Arsenal still have a three-point lead over their biggest opponent, but they have played a game less and can increase their lead.
Whatever happens by the end of the season, Tottenham fans will surely remember it for a long time. Since the beginning of the campaign, the Spurs have not had the necessary perseverance and alternate good with poor performances. It is very difficult to get a real idea of ββthe current state of the club. On the one hand, Everton and Leeds were easily defeated, but between these successes was a shameful 1-0 defeat by survivor Burnley and relegation from second division Middlesbrough for the FA Cup.
Tottenham are not very convincing in the derbies this season, but in the last two weeks they looked very different. It is obvious that the expressed dissatisfaction on the part of Antonio Conte after the loss to Burnley had a positive effect on the locker room. Harry Kane, Dejan Kulushevski and Hyun Min-Son played with great confidence against Everton's hesitant defense, and as we know, the United defenders are also prone to mistakes. I expect both teams to score at least one goal, but Tottenham will leave undefeated at Old Trafford.
