Manchester United take on top four rivals Tottenham Hotspur in their next Premier League game on Sunday.
Manchester United were held to a disappointing 1-1 draw by Dutch side FC Twente in the Europa League midweek. Christian Eriksen scored the Red Devils' solitary goal.
Tottenham Hotspur, on the other hand, convincingly defeated Qarabag 3-0 despite going down to 10 men in the Europa League clash.

Man United vs. Tottenham lineups, team news
Manchester United boss Ten Hag was aggressive in defending his decision to rest Marcus Rashford last time out in the Premier League, and he returned to start in the Europa League draw with Twente, so he should be fit to go here as well.
The Red Devils are still without their injured quartet of defenders Luke Shaw, Victor Lindelof, Tyrell Malacia, and new signing Lenny Yoro. Shaw and Lindelof are expected to be back in October, but the other two will be a bit longer.
Mason Mount returned to action against Twente and could again be involved here, although may have to settle for a place on the bench.
Man United predicted XI (4-2-3-1, right to left): Onana (GK) — Mazraoui, De Ligt, Martinez, Dalot — Mainoo, Eriksen — Rashford, Fernandes, Garnacho — Hojlund.
Injured: Shaw, Yoro, Malacia, Lindelof
Suspended: None
Tottenham boss Postecoglou has made a tactical tweak to his formation moving James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski into a midfield pivot, to great effect last time out in the Premier League against Brentford. Unless the Spurs boss bails on that new tactic, those two should continue in their new roles.
Brazilian striker Richarlison is still sidelined for another month with a muscle injury, while young upstart Wilson Odobert picked up a hamstring injury in the EFL Cup match against Coventry City.
Radu Dragusin should be available despite being sent off in the midweek win over Qarabag — as his ban will only apply to European competition — but he is unlikely to make the starting lineup given his poor performance in that game, having been dismissed inside the first seven minutes of the match.
Tottenham predicted XI (4-3-3, right to left): Vicario (GK) — Porro, Romero, van de Ven, Udogie — Kulusevski, Betancur, Maddison — B. Johnson, Solanke, Son
Injured: Richarlison, Odobert
Suspended: None
Man United vs. Tottenham Prediction
Manchester United have an exemplary record against Tottenham at home in the league having defeated them 24 times in the past. However, in the recent past, Spurs are unbeaten in their last three games against the Red Devils.
Both teams have had an erratic start to the campaign and it's likely that spoils will be spared between the two at the end of a thriller.
- Prediction: Manchester United 2-2 Tottenham
