Tottenham given good omen after new reveal ahead of Premier League clash vs Man United
Tottenham are desperate for a Premier League home win against Manchester United on Saturday.
Spurs’ 1-0 loss to Chelsea on 1 November sparked fury amongst supporters who expected far better from their side at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Thomas Frank has come under scrutiny for some of the performances, yet Tottenham’s 4-0 win over Copenhagen has fans hoping they can translate that display to their domestic form.
They take on a Ruben Amorim side that looks revitalised this season, and Spurs will have to be wary of their threat in attack.
Tottenham have excelled against Man United in recent meetings
Tottenham’s Europa League final win was the last time these two teams faced each other, and Spurs boast an impressive record over Amorim’s side.
MORE SPURS STORIES
Manchester United are winless in their last seven meetings with Tottenham in all competitions (D2 L5), losing each of the last four.
The last team to win five in a row against the Red Devils was Liverpool between 2000 and 2002.
Defeats to Bournemouth, Villa, and Chelsea have affected morale, whilst the draw at home to 20th-placed Wolves was incredibly disappointing.
It sparks a huge contrast to their impressive away form, and since the start of the 2024-25 campaign, the number of losses they’ve suffered in N17 is unacceptable.
The Red Devils are a much-changed outfit from last season, and whilst they sit on the same points as Spurs, it’s still a brilliant opportunity for Frank to quieten concerns over his time in charge.
Whilst Tottenham were expected to beat Copenhagen, the manner of the win will be what pleases fans the most in the Champions League.
Tottenham’s performance against Copenhagen shows promising signs under Frank
The Lilywhites have made a very respectable start to the season, and the 2-0 win against Man City showcased how far Frank can take this side.
It’s evident that injuries have hampered Spurs’ season, and the absences of Dejan Kulusevski and James Maddison have been hugely impactful.
Tottenham created 0.10 expected goals (xG) against Chelsea, and Man United have only kept one clean sheet in the Premier League this season, meaning there is no excuse for Frank to set his side to attack from the very first minute.
Tottenham face trips to Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain after the United clash, and November could be a season-defining month for Frank.
