Michael Carrick, promising start on the bench for United

The Devils are going through an excellent spell at the moment and that is thanks to Michael Carrick, the interim coach who took over at Old Trafford a month ago, replacing Ruben Amorim.

From then until now, United won the three matches they played in the Premier League, thus reaching the 4th place in England, the position of the Champions League.

Moreover, among the opponents that today's hosts beat during Carrick's tenure are the two favorites to win the title, Arsenal (3-2 at the Emirates) and Manchester City (2-0 at home). The other success was recorded in the previous round, 3-2 in the “thriller” at Old Trafford with Fulham.

Tottenham have not won a Premier League game in 2026!

On the other hand, for Thomas Frank's band the drought continues. Tottenham are winless in the seven-leg Championship, with the Londoners' last victory coming on 28 December 2025, 1-0 at Selhurst Park against local rivals Crystal Palace.

Since then, Spurs have recorded four more draws and two defeats, and today's visitors have dropped to 14th in the Premier League.

In the last leg, the holder of the Europa League trophy was led at the break at the Etihad, 0-2 with Manchester City, but managed to come back in the second act and save a point, thanks to the “double” signed by Dominic Solanke (53', 70').

Radu Drăgușin was a full-time player in that match, marking the first match as a starter for Spurs in the Premier League after more than a year. The Romanian international took advantage of Micky Van de Ven's injury, something that will no longer be possible even today, as the Batavian stopper has recovered and will start with United, the British press announces.

The London “Thriller” ended undecided

The first confrontation between the two teams in the current season took place last fall, on November 8, 2025, in the championship round, and then the game at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium ended in a draw, score 2-2.

The “Devils” led 1-0 until the 84th minute, thanks to the goal signed by Bryan Mbeumo in the first half (34'), but Thomas Frank's students turned the score around at the end, in a space of seven minutes. Mathys Tel (84') and Richarlison (90+1') then scored for Spurs.

Even so, the Londoners fell short of the three points as Dutchman Matthijs De Ligt equalized in the fourth minute of added time, heading in Vicario's goal from Bruno Fernandes' corner.
