Tottenham host Manchester United for a Premier League showdown, with the visitors looking to avenge the heartbreak from defeat in the Europa League final. The match at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London, kicks
off at 12:30pm (12:30 GMT) local time. Spurs head into the weekend in sixth place and go into the game off the back of a pressure-easing 4-0 Champions League win over FC Copenhagen that had followed an insipid defeat to Chelsea. United are unbeaten in four consecutive games and go into the weekend in eighth, two points behind second-placed Manchester City, in a congested Premier League table.
