Manchester United vs Tottenham Hotspurs
Two influential teams in the English Premier League, between Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur, will meet at Old Trafford this weekend. Two of their forward players, Kane and Lukaku will be a concern in the 10th Premier League.
When looking at the statistics, both teams collected 20 points after playing nine times in the beginning of the 2017/18 season. However, MU is more benefited because it has a better goal difference than its competitor, Spurs.
Manchester United scored 22 goals and conceded four goals while Tottenham Hotspurs packed 19 goals with six goals conceded. This is what makes every point earned will be very valuable to take home.
Of course, one point certainly will not be the initial target of each coach. Both Jose Mourinho and Mauricio Pochettino need three points for Manchester City who are now at the top of the standings do not move away from them.
Judging from the last five meetings, Manchester United more favored to win. The Red Devils won three times and lost twice from Spurs. However, of the five meetings, the host always comes out as the winner. That's why United are more favored in this fight.
However, when viewed from recent performance in the Premier League, Manchester United is not enough favorite to come out as the winner. They must be defeated 1-2 from Huddersfield and also a 0-0 draw counter to Liverpool. Unlike the Spurs are just a draw against Swansea in the last five games with the rest ending three points for The Lilywhites.
Kane or Lukaku?

Kane is out of the match with a hamstring injury a massive blow for Spurs so Lukaku is your guy. ⚽️
Uhh, really, confirmed
yep no Kane, lucky I have Kane & Lukaku in my team ;) oh and Rooney! Bargain buy after he got caught with that chick
Yes he has been confined out they are looking to hopefully get him back for champions league next week 👎🏼
Lukaku all the way ! fingers crossed !
Two very different players IMO, but both probably the best in the league. One thing is for sure though and that is that Spurs will miss Kane over the weekend.
