Manchester United is set to face Tottenham Hotspur, a key opponent in their pursuit of a top-four finish in the Premier League this Sunday.
United comes into this match following a lackluster 1-1 draw against FC Twente in the Europa League, with their only goal scored by Christian Eriksen.
In contrast, Tottenham achieved an impressive 3-0 victory against Qarabag in their recent Europa League match, even while being down to ten players after defender Radu Dragusin received an early red card.
The Sporting News outlines essential information about the match, including viewing options, kickoff times, and team news.

Man United vs. Tottenham team updates
Manager Erik ten Hag has been firm in his reasoning for resting Marcus Rashford in the recent Premier League game, who returned to play in the Europa League against Twente, suggesting he’ll be fit for Sunday’s match.
However, United continues to deal with injuries to key players including Luke Shaw, Victor Lindelof, Tyrell Malacia, and new recruit Lenny Yoro. While Shaw and Lindelof are expected back in October, the others may take longer to recover.
Mason Mount has resumed training and may see some minutes, but could also be substituted in from the bench.
Projected United lineup (4-2-3-1, left to right): Onana (GK) — Mazraoui, De Ligt, Martinez, Dalot — Mainoo, Eriksen — Rashford, Fernandes, Garnacho — Hojlund.
Out injured: Shaw, Yoro, Malacia, Lindelof
No suspensions.
For Tottenham, coach Ange Postecoglou has shifted his setup, moving James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski into central roles, which proved successful against Brentford in their last league match. If he sticks with this strategy, they are likely to maintain their new positions.
Richarlison will miss the match due to a muscle injury and Wilson Odobert is also out with a hamstring injury picked up in the EFL Cup against Coventry City.
Radu Dragusin should be eligible to play despite his red card, as the suspension only affects European competitions. However, following his poor performance in that game, a starting spot seems unlikely.
Projected Tottenham lineup (4-3-3, left to right): Vicario (GK) — Porro, Romero, van de Ven, Udogie — Kulusevski, Betancur, Maddison — B. Johnson, Solanke, Son.
Out injured: Richarlison, Odobert
No suspensions.
Man United vs. Tottenham Prediction
Historically, Manchester United has a strong home record against Tottenham, winning 24 times in league fixtures. Nevertheless, Spurs have gone unbeaten in their last three encounters with United.
Both teams have had a shaky start this season, making it plausible that they will share the points after an exciting encounter.
