Match facts

Head-to-head

  • After a run of four straight Premier League defeats against Manchester United between 2021 and 2022, Tottenham are unbeaten in their last three against them in the league (W1, D2).

  • Spurs have lost 24 Premier League away games versus Manchester United (W4, D4). Only Everton have lost as many top-flight away fixtures against a single opponent.

Manchester United

  • Manchester United can lose more than two of their opening six matches of a Premier League season for the fourth time in their history.

  • However, they have kept four clean sheets in their last six top-flight games, which is one more than they had in their previous 24 combined.

  • Bruno Fernandes has attempted 17 shots in the Premier League this season, more than any other player who is yet to score.
