Michael Carrick's high-flying Man United take on Spurs at Old Trafford on Saturday hoping to strengthen their position as they hunt down a Champions League spot. The visitors, however, have started to pick up some form and head north four matches unbeaten.
Read what our Premier League tipster Nathan Joyes has to say on an intriguing battle in front of the Sky Sports cameras.
Many Man United fans believed that Ruben Amorim's sacking was unjust but no one can argue with his replacement's flawless start.
No one expected Michael Carrick to come in and take maximum points from Man City, Arsenal and Fulham - but he has and now Man United are hunting down Aston Villa in 3rd.
Currently enjoying their best run of form since February 2022, Man United will be hoping to celebrate in style and pick up three points on the 68th anniversary of the Munich Air disaster.
Scoring certainly hasn't been an issue since Carrick took charge, producing eight against three strong opponents, but the former midfielder won't be happy with the four goals conceded at the other end.
His hot run of form won't continue if Man United can't keep clean sheets, but for now, the fans are loving their new leader.
Spurs head to Old Trafford looking to protect a four match unbeaten run - although their two victories have come in the Champions League. Form in that competition compared to the Premier League has been chalk and cheese - who haven't picked up three points since 28th December.
However, Thomas Frank's side fought back bravely against Man City last weekend thanks to Dominic Solanke's brace - including one which may be crowned goal of the season come May.
He's now scored four in his last four, and once again the 28-year-old will be Spurs' main threat as they pursuit a first league win in seven attempts.
That draw has bought Frank a bit of extra time - but one or two more heavy defeats and fans will once again be reaching for their pitchforks.
Spurs have relished this fixture in recent years having won four of their last five renewals (W4 D1). In fact, Tottenham haven't lost against Man United in their last eight meetings, last losing 2-0 back in 2022. Last season, Spurs walked away with three points and a 3-0 victory - a result the bookmakers aren't expecting this time round.
With Man United's new lease of life injected into them by their former player, the Red Devils are the favourites to make it four wins on the bounce - but can Spurs spring a surprise against a side they've loved playing of late?
Nathan Joyes has taken a look at the Premier League betting odds for this match and puts his tip forward.
Man United (4/7 with 247Bet) will be a confident bet for many against Spurs (4/1 with HighBet) this weekend but their odds-on price to win the match looks rather short.
Instead, it's best to look at the goal market with both defences unable to keep clean sheets. Over 2.5 goals has landed in four of Man United's last five matches comfortably, while it has landed in all five of Spurs' last five Premier League games.
It's also the same when looking at whether both teams have found the back of the net. That has landed in four of Man United's last five, while Spurs' games continues to produce at both ends of the pitch. Their last five Premier League games have made excellent viewing for neutrals.
With that in mind, it doesn't look like a trend set to change. Combining both markets creates a much better price, and it'll be a surprise if both defences aren't breached in this clash.
