Premier League
Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
All eyes will be on Tottenham Hotspur Stadium when Spurs and Man Utd go head to head in the Premier League derby.
Tottenham were on the verge of beating Newcastle at St. James’ Park, but the Magpies eventually scored a late equalizer to save one point.
Jose Mourinho is widely expected to recall Korea international Son to the starting XI, while both Davies and Doherty are sidelined with injuries.
Since Spurs have already suffered elimination in the Europa League knockout stages, Mourinho should field the best possible side against Manchester United.
The Red Devils, on the other hand, came from behind to beat Brighton 2-1 in their last league match.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s troops aim to cement their place in top four, and seeing that Marcus Rashford is fully fit, we are tempted to put our money on both teams to score.

As for Man United, Anthony Martial remains unavailable for selection due to a knee problem, while Phil Jones is a long-term absentee for the 20-time English champions.
Eric Bailly is also out following a recent positive coronavirus test, but Luke Shaw and Paul Pogba should be available despite being substituted against Granada on Thursday with minor problems.
Rashford is nursing an ankle problem but should be in the starting XI on Sunday, while Dean Henderson is expected to replace David de Gea between the sticks.
Fred is likely to return in the middle of the park, and the fact that Scott McTominay is suspended for next week's second leg against Granada means that the Scotland international should start, with Pogba potentially moving out to the left and Rashford going through the middle.
