Man Utd - WLWLD ---------- Spurs - WWLWW
Seeking our first top-flight double over Man Utd in the Premier League era, we make the long journey north to Old Trafford for Sunday's enticing encounter. Both sides kicked off 2024 by advancing to the fourth round of the FA Cup, as the Red Devils sunk Wigan, while we ran out 1-0 winners over Burnley.
Spurs
The slender success over the Clarets represented a fifth win from six matches in all tournaments for us, as we concluded 2023 with a praiseworthy 3-1 beating of an in-form Bournemouth side to move within one point of fourth-placed Arsenal, who can be usurped by their bitter adversaries this weekend while they enjoy an extended break from competitive action.
Consistency on the road has not come naturally to us in recent weeks, though, as just one of our last four Premier League away games has ended in victory, although we have not failed to score on rival turf in the top division since a 1-0 loss to Wolverhampton Wanderers at the beginning of March.
Having ended a five-game winless run against Man United back in the summer, we are just 90 minutes away from a first double against the Red Devils since the 1989-90 season, but the hosts' 24 successes at home against us is the joint-most for any team over a single opponent in Premier League history.
Man Utd
While the age-old cliche of football being a game of two halves still rings true, 2023 was certainly a year of two halves for Man United, who have at least started 2024 as they mean to go on by furthering their chances of another slice of domestic glory.
It would not have been a Red Devils contest without a couple of scares along the way, but Ten Hag's men ultimately put two goals past League One outfit Wigan without reply in the FA Cup, as Diogo Dalet's fine finish preceded a contentious Fernandez penalty at the DW Stadium on January 8.
Fans of Newport County and Eastleigh will already be licking their lips at the prospect of a fourth-round glamour tie with Man United - who will face the victor of that replay later this month - but Ten Hag's side now resume Premier League duty after a completely mediocre start to the new term.
The feel-good factor from their incredible Boxing Day comeback over Aston Villa soon evaporated in a 2-1 loss to Nottingham Forest on December 30, a result which sees the Red Devils enter a depleted gameweek languishing in eighth in the table, nine points adrift of a Champions League berth.
Preparing to play in front of the sharp eye of Sir Jim Tatcliffe for the first time this weekend, Man United are at risk of suffering 10 top-flight losses for just the fifth time since the Premier League's inception. Out of those previous four campaigns, the Red Devils have opted for a change in management in three of them.
