More than 1,000 Tottenham supporters attended a protest against the club's ownership and chairman Daniel Levy before Sunday's match against Manchester United at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

There were chants of "Levy out" and "Enic out" as fans brought flags and banners to the protest, which included a march to the stadium, and was organised by a smaller Spurs fan group called Change for Tottenham.

There is due to be a sit-down protest after the match, when supporters will stay behind in the ground.

Banners - which have also been seen in home and away sections of recent Spurs games - read "Time for change" and "24 years, 16 managers, one trophy".

One of the organisers, Jay Coughlin, told BBC Sport: "I think all of the fans are done with how the club is being run. We want to be winning on the field. There are positives off the field, but we deserve better on it.

"These managers have not been backed sufficiently and there is a track record with this ownership.

"For us, there is no change with Daniel Levy. For us, change means a change in the boardroom. They have more than quadrupled their investment, so it is time to move on and cash in."

One of Change for Tottenham's founders, Lynden Wade, added: "We ultimately want Levy out but we know with the shares he has in Tottenham that it may not be realistic. But there are other things that could change to make a positive impact for the fans."

Spurs were 15th in the Premier League table before the United match, having won just one of their past eight matches.

They have won one trophy - the League Cup in 2008 - since Levy and Enic took over the club from Sir Alan Sugar almost 25 years ago.

However, Tottenham are the most profitable Premier League club over that same period and Levy has delivered a £1.2bn stadium and a state-of-the-art training ground.

Sitting 14th and 13th in the Premier League in February is not where either Tottenham or Manchester United would have expected to be at this stage of the season.

But inconsistent form and injuries means the two clubs meet at Tottenham Hotspur stadium on Sunday with few being able to say with any certainty who might come out on top.

While the two sides go head-to-head on the pitch, we asked our fan writers for each club to go head-to-head off it.

Tottenham are unbeaten in their last four Premier League games against Man Utd (W2 D2) and are looking to complete the league double over the Red Devils for the first time since 1989-90.

Manchester United have conceded at least twice in each of their last four Premier League games against Spurs – the last side they conceded multiple goals against in 5+ consecutive league games was Arsenal (5 between 1975 and 1978).

Tottenham have already beaten Manchester United twice in all competitions this season, 3-0 in the Premier League and 4-3 in the League Cup quarter-final. Not since 1989-90 have Spurs beaten Man Utd three times in a single campaign, while the last side overall to defeat the Red Devils three times in a season were Chelsea in 2012-13.

After their 2-0 win over Brentford, Tottenham are looking to win back-to-back Premier League games for just the second time this season, previously doing so in September – when their two wins were over Brentford and then Manchester United.

Tottenham are winless in their last seven Premier League home games (D2 L5), their longest such run in the competition since going eight without a win from March to October 2008. Their five defeats in these last seven games are more than they suffered in their previous 17 at home in the league (W13 D0 L4).

Since Ruben Amorim took charge in November, only five sides have picked up fewer points in the Premier League than Manchester United (14). Amorim is only the fourth manager to lose 7+ of his first 13 top-flight games in charge of the Red Devils, along with AH Albut (7), John Chapman (10), and Jimmy Murphy (7).

Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou is unbeaten in all three of his Premier League games against Manchester United – only three managers have ever remained unbeaten in each of their first four against the Red Devils (Ruud Gullit, Nuno Espírito Santo and Unai Emery).

After his assist for Pape Sarr’s goal against Brentford, Son Heung-min became Tottenham’s outright leading assister in the Premier League (69), overtaking Darren Anderton (68). Son has seven assists in the competition this season, only recording more in a single campaign in 2019-20 (10), 2020-21 (10), and 2023-24 (10).

No player has scored more goals (6) or provided more assists (6) for Manchester United in the Premier League this season than Amad Diallo. However, the Ivorian hasn’t scored or assisted in any of his last three league games, only attempting two shots over this time while creating 10 chances without any leading to a goal.

Dominic Solanke has scored in each of his last three Premier League games against Manchester United, netting in both meetings with Bournemouth last season and the reverse fixture for Tottenham this term. The only players to score in 4+ successive appearances against the Red Devils in the competition are Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink (5), Sergio Agüero (4), and Mohamed Salah (5).

Tottenham Hotspur has been given the go-ahead to build a new training ground despite campaigners arguing it would destroy a park.

The football club plans to fence off a section of Whitewebbs Park in Enfield, north London, and build a new women's academy, with 11 pitches and a new clubhouse.

There were 296 objections sent to Enfield Council, with many comments about the loss of green space and the impact on wildlife in the area. Objectors to the plans included The Woodland Trust.

Enfield Council decided to grant a 25-year lease to the football club, and said the development would include "improving the surrounding parkland landscape".

Concerns about the scheme had included the blocking of views, limiting access to public spaces and not preserving ancient parkland and wildlife.

Campaign group Friends of Whitewebbs Park said the character of the park - which was bought for the benefit of the people of Enfield by Middlesex Council in 1931 - would be permanently altered, and it "would be irreversible".

The group's chairperson, Sean Wilkinson, described the "supposed benefits" to the community as "minimal".

Enfield Council's Labour leader, Ergin Erbil, said the project would "bring exciting opportunities to Enfield, including job opportunities, apprenticeships, and enhanced sports facilities".

"We look forward to the next steps, to ensure the project achieves long-term benefits for everyone in Enfield," he said.

A spokesperson for Tottenham Hotspur said the club was "delighted" by the approval.

The Premier League club promised the development would "improve local access to nature and habitats, provide new facilities for visitors, community groups, and sports clubs, and put Enfield on the map as a champion of the women's and girls' game with a best-in-class academy".

King Charles has visited the home of Tottenham Hotspur to highlight the Premier League club's work supporting local businesses.

The King met guests including Gina Moffatt, 48, an ex-offender who turned her life around with help from the King's Trust - formerly the Prince's Trust - and now runs a restaurant in Tottenham, north London.

Ms Moffatt informed the head of state he was "bigger than Beyoncé", referring to the US superstar's upcoming performances at the stadium.

King Charles also took the opportunity to have a go at throwing an American football - receiving mixed feedback.

The football club is collaborating with America's National Football League (NFL) - which stages games at the arena - in supporting local businesses and good causes.

During the visit the King met students from the London Academy of Excellence Tottenham, a state-funded high achieving sixth form on the stadium campus.

On the pitch he was handed a ball by the longest-serving British NFL player Efe Obada, who praised the "energy" of the King's throw but added that his "technique wasn't immaculate".

"I wanted him to get a little closer to the target so he could get it in but he was having a great time and got a good reception," he said.

Watch a "disappointed" Ange Postecoglou reflect on his Tottenham side being knocked out of a second cup competition within a week following a 2-1 defeat by Aston Villa.

Aston Villa have progressed from just one of their last six FA Cup ties against Tottenham Hotspur, winning 1-0 at White Hart Lane in a third round replay after a goalless draw at Villa Park in 1992.Â

Tottenham Hotspur have won nine of their last 10 away games against Aston Villa in all competitions (L1), with their last two wins coming by the same 4-0 scoreline (April 2022 and March 2024).

Aston Villa are looking to reach the fifth round of the FA Cup for the first time since 2014-15, when they eventually reached the final before losing 4-0 to Arsenal.

Tottenham have progressed from four of their last five FA Cup fourth round ties, though did lose 1-0 against Manchester City at this stage of the competition last season.

In the Premier League era (since 1992-93), Son Heung-min has been involved in more FA Cup goals than any other Tottenham player (26 – 14 goals, 12 assists). In that time, only Harry Kane and Jermain Defoe (15 each) have scored more in the competition for Spurs than their current captain.

Liverpool and Tottenham go head to head on Thursday in their Carabao Cup semi-final second leg - with both managers aiming for a first final in English football.

Spurs - who last won a trophy 17 years ago with a League Cup triumph - edged the first leg 1-0 at home four weeks ago through Lucas Bergvall's late strike.

Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou is under pressure, with his injury-hit club in the bottom half of the Premier League.

Holders Liverpool, on the other hand, are flying under manager Arne Slot, sitting six points clear at the top of the table and cruising through to the Champions League last 16.

There will be full commentary of the game on BBC Radio 5 Live, with build-up starting from 19:00 GMT.

The winner of this tie face Newcastle or Arsenal at Wembley on Sunday, 16 March.

Liverpool manager Slot says right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold will miss the game.

The England international was substituted after 70 minutes in the Premier League win at Bournemouth on Saturday with what appeared to be a thigh injury.

The Reds' next game is against Championship side Plymouth in the FA Cup fourth round on Sunday.

"We have to see whether he is able to play on Sunday, but what we do know is that he is not available for tomorrow," said Slot.

"He left the pitch with a bit of pain in his leg but he's already on the [training] pitch, not with the team but with the rehab coach, so let's see how long it is going to take."

Conor Bradley, who replaced Alexander-Arnold against Bournemouth, started the first leg at Tottenham on 8 January and looks set to do the same for the return tie.

Joe Gomez is also an option following his return from a hamstring injury.

Tottenham have two new loan signings available to make their potential debuts - Lens centre-back Kevin Danso and Bayern Munich forward Mathys Tel.

"In terms of availability from last week, everyone is fine and got through OK - so no issues there," said boss Postecoglou.

"Kevin and Mathys are both available. They have trained and are cleared to play so they are all good."

Postecoglou added Danso will definitely play in the game - whether from the start or from the bench - due to the club's defensive problems.

Radu Dragusin's season is over with a knee injury, with Micky van de Ven still finding fitness after an injury and Cristian Romero having not played since December.

"With Micky and Romero to a certain extent, I feel we have to be a bit more conservative with them," added Postecoglou.

"Micky got through the [Europa League] game alright but I don't think he feels ready for that step up to the Premier League, the intensity of it. Same with Romero.

"I made the decision that I don't want to risk losing these guys."

Tottenham come into the game on the back of wins over Elfsborg and Brentford, having only won three of the previous 10 games.

And they are bidding to win their first trophy since the 2008 League Cup when they beat Chelsea 2-1. That is their only silverware since Daniel Levy took over the club in 2001.

"It is a big occasion for us, the club and the fans," said Postecoglou. "I don't think Liverpool will be any less anxious than us for the fixture of a semi-final, a second leg. It is tight and a big game for both clubs.

"You recognise that, embrace that, but ultimately if you want to be successful then these are the games you want to be involved in.

"There is no point in having trepidation about it because the alternative is you will be watching two other teams on the TV and you would be sitting on the couch wishing you were there. We are going to be there and we've got a chance and we will go for it."

Australian Postecoglou pointed out in September "I always win things in my second year" at a club.

He did so with South Melbourne, Brisbane Roar, Yokohama F Marinos, the Australia national team and Celtic.

The only times he failed to win a trophy were with teams he did not stay for two years at - Panachaiki, Whittlesea Zebras and Melbourne Victory.

BBC Sport football news reporter Nizaar Kinsella said: "Back-to-back wins and clean sheets over Elfsborg and Brentford have eased the pressure generally on Ange Postecoglou.

"But Spurs remain 14th in the Premier League table and success in the cup competitions has helped keep a frustrated atmosphere among supporters from getting any worse.

"That fan anger is more directed at the ownership and chairman Daniel Levy than the manager - as they have won just one trophy in his 24 years.

"Chants of 'Levy out' have continued despite back-to-back wins and the only way to satisfy supporters is to finally win a trophy.

"That's why, although navigating a trip to Anfield is not easy for any club, there remains pressure on this match for all involved and in this project built around Postecoglou's attacking style of football."

Newcastle v Arsenal (agg: 2-0, 20:00 GMT)

Newcastle and Arsenal meet at St James' Park in the second leg of the Carabao Cup semi-finals on Wednesday with the Gunners looking to overturn a two-goal deficit, while the hosts are aiming to move one step closer to a first major trophy in 56 years.

Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon both scored at Emirates Stadium on 8 January to ensure Eddie Howe's side have one foot in the final.

Arsenal, however, will be determined to keep their own trophy hopes alive and go into the game on the back of their most impressive result of the season - a 5-1 defeat of reigning Premier League champions Manchester City.

'I do not think Liverpool will be any less anxious than us'

Liverpool v Tottenham (Thu, 20:00 GMT)

Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou on the trophy drought and the pressure to deliver tomorrow evening: "It's a big occasion for everyone. It's a semi-final. I don't think Liverpool will be any less anxious than us. It's a big game for both clubs. You recognise that, you embrace that, but ultimately if you want to be successful these are the games that you want to be involved with because the alternative is, you'll be at home on the couch watching two other teams on the TV wishing you were there."

'I am more than 100% sure that Tel wants to be here'

Liverpool v Tottenham (Thu, 20:00 GMT)

Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou was asked how he convinced Mathys Tel to join the club after it was reported he initially rejected the move: "I think people need to understand that you are talking about a 19-year-old who has to make a major decision for his career and it's not that he rejected us or rejected anyone else - I think he just wanted to be comfortable with his decision. I don't think he wanted to be pushed in a certain direction and it's credit to him.

"I had a conversation with him and it was purely around the football and I think he'll find a really good place for him here. Irrespective of age he will get an opportunity here. The way we play I think will suit him and what we are building beyond - I thought this would be the perfect fit for his next step. I think it's right that he took time in his decision."

On whether he is convinced Tel wants to be at the club: "I am more than 100% sure that he wants to be here. He was so diligent when he made the decision that it gave me even more confidence that we were getting the right kind of mentality and player. He is very ambitious. He has a great deal of self belief and confidence and it feels like he can reach the very top of the game."

Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou on team news: "In terms of availability, everyone is fine from last week so no issues there. Kevin Danso and Mathys Tel are both available, they have trained.

"With Micky [van de Ven] and [Cristian] Romero to a certain extent, I kind of feel we have to be a bit more conservative with them. Micky got through the game [vs Elfsborg] alright but I don't think he feels ready for Premier League intensity and that's the same with Cristian. We are going to keep them ticking over in training and make sure they are absolutely ready with no set-backs."
