-------------------------------
【Strength Comparison】
Manchester United (4th, 41 pts): United are in a "honeymoon phase" under Carrick, seeking a fourth consecutive victory. Their recent run includes statement wins over Manchester City (2-0) and Arsenal (3-2). They have been particularly clinical when conceding possession, winning seven of nine games this season where they had less than 45% of the ball.

Tottenham Hotspur (14th, 29 pts): While Spurs are languishing in the bottom half of the table and are winless in their last six league matches, they remain dangerous. Five of their seven league wins this season have come away from home, and they are coming off a resilient 2-2 draw against Manchester City.

【Head-to-Head】
Historically, United dominate this fixture, but recent history tells a different story:

Last 5 Meetings: Tottenham have dominated with 4 wins and 1 draw. United have not beaten Spurs in the league since 2022.

Last Meeting: A dramatic 2-2 draw in November 2025.

Old Trafford Factor: Spurs have enjoyed their recent trips to Manchester, including a dominant 3-0 win earlier in the 2024/25 season.

【Key Factors】
Injury Crisis at Spurs: Thomas Frank is dealing with a massive absentee list. James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski, and Pedro Porro are among the nine players confirmed out. However, they received a boost with Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero passed fit to start.

The "Solanke" Threat: Dominic Solanke has scored five goals in his last five appearances against United. His ability to lead the line against a United defense missing Matthijs de Ligt will be crucial.

Carrick’s Midfield: The pairing of Casemiro and Kobbie Mainoo has stabilized United, while Bruno Fernandes is in peak creative form with 12 assists already this season.

【Expert Prediction】Manchester United Win (or Draw)
Experts are divided between United's surging momentum and Tottenham's "bogey team" status over the Red Devils.
