Tottenham vs Man United: Match Preview

Tottenham's new dawn got off to a promising start away at Brentford last Sunday with the two sides playing out an entertaining 2-2 draw. While Spurs have plenty to work on defensively, the Bees were a tricky matchup for Ange's men, they acquitted themselves well in west London.

However, another tough test awaits on Saturday as United come to town. Tottenham's record against the Red Devils has been wretched since their famous 6-1 win at Old Trafford three years ago, although United's struggles in their win over Wolverhampton Wanderers will undoubtedly fill the home side with confidence.

The unfancied Wolves were mightily unfortunate to leave Manchester with nothing after spurning several golden opportunities on the counter-attack.

An intriguing contest awaits in north London, and here's our preview of the game.

Team News:

Tottenham:

Cristian Romero will be evaluated ahead of Saturday's game after suffering a head injury in the draw with Brentford, but the defender should be available to start alongside new arrival Micky van de Ven.

Bryan Gil remains sidelined for the hosts, with Postecoglou unlikely to make too many changes from his first-ever Premier League XI. Although, Pape Matar Sarr could come in for Oliver Skipp in midfield.

Ivan Perisic and Manor Solomon are both vying for starts in the front line.

Man United:

Erik ten Hag will surely make some sort of adjustment from Monday's win over Wolves given the success the away side had in transition. United's midfield was so often bypassed with Casemiro being left on an island, so we could see Scott McTominay come into the team to provide some support.

Alejandro Garnacho's sub-par display will likely condemn him to the bench with Marcus Rashford continuing up top until Rasmus Hojlund recovers from his injury.

Lisandro Martinez is a doubt after picking up a knock on Monday night, but the Argentine is expected to be fine for Saturday's away trip.

Tottenham vs Man United: Head to Head

Manchester United won four of the last five head to head clashes against Tottenham. They were unbeaten in both their meetings against Tottenham in the last season.

The Red Devils are on a seven match unbeaten streak against Tottenham at this stadium.

Predicted Line-ups:

Tottenham predicted lineup (4-3-3): Vicario; Emerson, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Bissouma, Sarr, Maddison; Kulusevski, Richarlison, Son.

Man Utd predicted lineup (4-2-3-1): Onana; Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Martinez, Shaw; Casemiro, McTominay; Antony, Fernandes, Mount; Rashford.

Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United in the 2024-25 Europa League final at the San Memes Stadium.

Both teams have endured disastrous Premier League campaigns, currently reeling at 16th and 17th respectively, and face the threat of missing out on European football altogether, unless they win this final.

For United coach Ruben Amorim, who replaced Erik ten Hag mid-season, it’s a last shot to salvage a turbulent spell marked by 18 Premier League losses; a club record. Tottenham, meanwhile, haven’t lifted silverware since 2008, and their 21 league defeats this season mark a new low. Coach Ange Postecoglou, in his second year, sees this as a vital chance to finally deliver on Spurs’ long-unfulfilled potential.

As they gear up to face Manchester United in the 2024/25 UEFA Europa League Final, one question echoes loudly: When was the last time Tottenham won a trophy?

When was the last time Tottenham won a trophy?

Tottenham's last trophy was the 2008 Carling Cup, when they beat Chelsea 2-1 in the final at Wembley. It marked the fourth time that Tottenham were crowned League Cup winners.

Juande Ramos' Tottenham team beat crosstown rivals Arsenal 6-2 in the semi-final, earning them a clash against the Blues. Chelsea were defending champions of the trophy, having beaten Arsenal in the 2007 final.

Didier Drogba scored a free-kick in the first half to give Chelsea the lead going into the break, but Dimitar Berbatov scored a penalty in the 70th minute after a Wayne Bridge penalty to even out the scoreline. Jonathan Woodgate then netted three minutes into extra-time after converting a free-kick taken by Jermaine Jenas that clinched the victory.

It was Tottenham's first trophy in nine years, and it was an especially important one. With it, they secured UEFA Cup qualification for the next season – something that they had failed to do through their Premier League campaign as they finished 11th in the table.

Tottenham fallen short in big moments many times

• 2020/21 EFL Cup Final : Lost to Manchester City

Since that 2008 triumph, Spurs have come close—but silverware has eluded them. Despite talented squads and high-profile managers, including Mauricio Pochettino and José Mourinho, Tottenham have consistently fallen short in big moments.

Founded in 1888, the English Football League started as the Football League, the oldest football league in the world. In 1892, the Football League First Division kicked off and continued till 1991 as the top flight football league in England.

Later, in 1992, the Premier League was created and replaced the Football League First Division as the top flight football league in England.

In this article, we will discuss all the teams with the most titles in England's top flight football. Till now, 24 clubs have been able to lift the top flight title.

Preston North End, the first ever champion of the Football League, won the title in back-to-back seasons. This made them the first ever team to win a football league and also defend it. They won the league in the 1888–89 and 1889–90 seasons. Preston now plays in the EFL Championship. 

Burnley, who recently got promoted to the Premier League this season, won the league twice in the 1920–21 and 1959–60 seasons. Portsmouth won the title first time in the 1948-49 season and then defended the crown in the next season as well. 

Spurs, one of the big six of English football, won the league in the 1950–51, 1960–61 seasons. Since then, they have not been able to win the league again. Derby County won the title in the 1971–72 and 1974–75 seasons.

8. Blackburn Rovers, Huddersfield Town, Wolves, Leeds United | 3 titles

Blackburn Rovers, one of the founding members of the Football League, won the league twice in the 1911–12 and 1913–14 seasons. Then, they were crowned the Premier League champions in 1994–95, when Alan Shearer brought them to glory with 34 goals. But in the next season, they were relegated to the second division. 

Huddersfield Town were one of the stronger teams in English football, winning the First Division in three back-to-back seasons in 1923–24, 1924–25 and 1925–26. But, after many promotions and relegations, they now play in the third division in England.

Wolves, who are now competing in the Premier League, won the first-division title in the 1953–54, 1957–58, and 1958–59 seasons.

In fact, it was  William McGregor, the Aston Villa director, who founded the Football League in 1888, which was the World's First Football League as mentioned earlier.

Not only that, George Ramsay, who was Villa manager in 1886, was the world's first professional football manager.

4. Everton | 9 titles

Another club with great history and culture that lost the battle in modern football. Although Everton have stayed in the First Division of Football for more than 122 years now, is one of the three clubs to be a founding member of the Football League and Premier League.

3. Manchester City |  10 titles

Manchester City are the second most successful football club in the Premier League era. They have revolutionised modern football after Pep Guardiola took over the manager's role in 2016. 

Since then, they have won 6 Premier League titles, out of which four came in consecutive seasons from 2020 to 2024, which is a record in English top flight football. Before Pep Guardiola, it was Roberto Mancini, who led them to Premier League success in the 2011-12 season, the club's first league title in 45 years. 

Till now, Manchester City have won 10 titles in top-flight English football. Their success came in 1936–37, 1967–68, 2011–12, 2013–14, 2017–18, 2018–19, 2020–21, 2021–22, 2022–23, and 2023–24.
