Premier League. Manchester United beat Swansea out of the league team on Tuesday, thus the ruling champion is ready for the quarterfinal where they will face Bristol City on the go. 2-0 won, and the silence reduced with only Smalling, Herrera, Lingard and Martial from the team who started the series match this weekend.
In addition, Lukaku and Matic played the last 25 minutes, thus Man Utd reluctantly relegated to this top match, but not as restful as they could have done. Not very good form at home, just one point last two series matches (3-2-1 last six), and a bad Champions League match, which they admittedly won. Mourinho has rightly been criticized lately, but he himself has chosen to blame the players. It remains to be seen how this affects the team. At home, Man Utd has 4-0-0 and 14-0 in goal difference this season, but this is the first settlement against one of the top six teams. Zlatan, Fellaini, Carrick and Rojo are out while Herrera, Rashford and Pogba are all insecure. Man Utd has some midfield problems, but if Herrera finishes the match, it looks okay.
Tottenham smoked out of the league match on Wednesday against West Ham. They led 2-0 to break, and mostly looked OK, but a complete collapse after a break ended with three backwards. Tottenham made reservations, but players like Alderweireld, Trippier, Son and Alli, who all started against Liverpool at the weekend, started the match and, in fact, said Tottenham was chopping better than expected. Ligacup does not mean all the world, so it will hardly be a lasting downturn for Tottenham, who is in the form of a league in both the series and the Champions League. 1-1 away from Real Madrid one and a half weeks ago, and a crushing superior 4-1 win over Liverpool this weekend. 5-1-0 last six games, and away from home they have 4-0-0 and 12-2 this season. Wanyama is injured for Tottenham while Lamela is approaching return.
This should be even. Tottenham is a better football team than Man Utd, but they are away and Mourinho is good at these matches.
