None of the last 17 Premier League meetings between Manchester United and Tottenham at Old Trafford have finished level, with the Red Devils winning 13 of these (L4).

Tottenham are looking to complete their first league double over Manchester United since the 1989-90 campaign, having won 2-0 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the reverse fixture in August.

No team has won more home games against an opponent in Premier League history than Manchester United’s 24 against Tottenham (level with Arsenal against Everton).

Manchester United have lost nine of their 20 Premier League games this season, as many defeats as they suffered in the whole of last season. There have been just four Premier League campaigns where they’ve lost 10+ games (2013-14, 2015-16, 2018-19 and 2021-22), with 2015-16 the only one of those where they didn’t change their manager during the season.

Tottenham have scored in each of their last 32 Premier League games, the longest ongoing run of any side in the competition. It is Spurs’ joint-longest scoring run in their league history, also scoring in 32 in a row from April to December 1949 and February to November 1962.

Manchester United finished 2023 with defeat against Nottingham Forest. They haven’t lost their last game of a calendar year, and then their first league game of the following year since 2011-12 (defeats to Blackburn Rovers and Newcastle United).

Tottenham have conceded 29 Premier League goals this season with an xG against figure of 35.6, the best difference between expected goals and actual goals conceded (-6.6). At the other end, only Manchester City (7.6) have overperformed their xG more than Spurs this season (6.5 – 42 goals from 35.5 xG).

Following their 2-0 win in the reverse fixture in August, Ange Postecoglou could become the first ever Tottenham Hotspur manager to win both of his first two games against Manchester United with the club in all competitions.

Manchester United’s Bruno Fernandes has created 54 chances in the Premier League this season, more than any other player coming into this round of matches. His rate of 2.84 chances created per 90 minutes is his second best in any of his five Premier League campaigns, but his average of a goal or assist every 285 minutes this term is his worst.

Tottenham’s Richarlison has scored five goals in his last five Premier League games, as many as his previous 45 appearances in the competition beforehand. The Brazilian, however, only has one goal in 10 league appearances against Manchester United, scoring for Everton in April 2019.
