Both teams have their Champions League futures on the line, with Manchester United trying to close the three-point gap Chelsea holds over them in the EPL for the final Champions League berth for next season, while Tottenham sits only four points back of United. Expect a low scoring game, as either club know a loss will be devastating for their Champions League hopes, making an aggressive game strategy by either coach unlikely. Each were trending in opposite directions at the layoff as the Spurs went winless in their last six matches across all competitions, while United was unbeaten in their last 11.

Tottenham Hotspur Odds and News

While Harry Kane had originally been thought lost for the season after suffering a torn hamstring against Southampton on New Year’s Day, the season suspension has allowed him time to heal and return against the Red Devils. This should provide a morale boost for the Spurs, but Kane has not fared well against Manchester United in his career. He has scored twice in 11 EPL meetings against United and his average goal ration is one every 457 minutes, his worst number against any EPL team.

Another returning player who was thought lost for the season is winger Son Heung-min, who scored in his last five consecutive games across all competitions and could prove to be a difference maker.
Spurs coach Jose Mourinho will look to beat his former United team, but has lost all three meetings against his former clubs, since he took over in Tottenham.

Manchester United Odds and News

Manchester United was heating up before the break as their 11-game unbeaten streak included eight wins, 29 goals and nine clean sheets. A win on Friday would be the first time United has won consecutive away matches against Tottenham since a string of 6-straight between 2001 and 2007.

Although United will be missing defenders Axel Tuanzebe and Phil Jones, due to injury, they will receive a massive boost with the return of forward Marcus Rashford and veteran midfielder Paul Pogba.
Bruno Fernandes, who has found instant chemistry with Pogba, will be dangerous. Since his debut 9 matches ago, he leads United in goal involvement (two goals, three assists), chances (11) and most shots (19).
