Tottenham Hotspur host Manchester United in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, as they look to find a solution to their poor home form in the Premier League.

Spurs lost 1-0 to Chelsea last weekend in the Premier League, after what was perhaps their poorest performance of the season. They barely threatened Robert Sanchez's goal in that game, but played a confidence-boosting game in the UEFA Champions League in midweek, where they beat FC Copenhagen 4-0, with the highlight being a stunning goal from Micky van de Ven.

After beating Burnley at home on the opening day, Spurs have drawn with Wolves, and lost to Bournemouth, Aston Villa and Chelsea at home in the Premier League so far this season.

Their opponents, Manchester United, have picked up 10 points in their last four Premier League games. but they have won only one away game this season, which was at Anfield against Liverpool -- a game they won 2-1.

Last week, United took the lead against Nottingham Forest at the City Ground in the first half, but were quickly pegged back in the second half, before Amad's late goal earned them a 2-2 draw.
