Tottenham completed the Premier League double over Manchester United last season – they last won three consecutive league games against the Red Devils in 1959/1960.

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 were Liverpool between 2000 and 2002.

No side has lost more home Premier League matches in 2025 than Tottenham Hotspur (9). Only in 1994 and 2003 (10 in each) have Spurs reached double figures for home defeats in a year in their league history.

Manchester United are unbeaten in their last four Premier League games (W3 D1), their joint best run under manager Rúben Amorim, while United last had a longer run without losing in January/February 2024 (five games), which was also the last time they netted two or more goals in five in a row.

Across spells with Brentford and Spurs, Thomas Frank has suffered nine defeats in his last 16 home Premier League matches (W3 D4). Before this run, his Brentford side had won seven of their previous eight home games (D1).

Only Liverpool (156) have had more shots in the Premier League this season than Manchester United (153) and no side has had more shots on target than they have (54). 66.7% of their shots have come from inside the box this season (102/153), their highest ratio since 2012-13 (66.8%), their last title-winning season.

Spurs registered an xG of just 0.1 in their 1-0 defeat to Chelsea on MD10, the lowest by a team in a Premier League match so far this season. They are averaging just 9.7 shots per game this season (97 in 10 games), their lowest average in a Premier League campaign on record since 1997-98.

Only three teams have given a lower proportion of minutes to English players in the Premier League this season than Spurs (7.8%) – it’s their lowest in a single campaign (previous lowest was 8.2% in 2023-24).

Only against Southampton and Brighton (5) has Man Utd’s Bryan Mbeumo scored more Premier League goals than he has against Spurs (4), with three of his four against them coming at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Manchester United’s Bruno Fernandes has 53 Premier League assists – since his debut in February 2020, only Mohamed Salah (64) and Kevin De Bruyne (58) have more. He’s assisted in his last two away games and is looking to do so in three away appearances in a row for the first time since November 2020.
