Manchester United and Tottenham will face off in the Premier League for the first time this season on Wednesday evening.
The two sides are both battling to get into the Premier League top four come the close of play of the season in May.
The fourth position this season will likely be hotly contested, with Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea and Tottenham all vying for the remaining positions behind the current league leaders Arsenal and previous Premier League champions Manchester City.
Both sides have been on mixed form so far this season and currently sit 7 points apart in the league, with Tottenham sitting in third while United are in fifth. However, United currently have a game in hand on the Lilywhites.

After a dismal 6-3 defeat in the Manchester derby a few weeks ago, Manchester United bounced back.
They faced Omonia away in the Europa League, and despite going a goal down fairly early on, a second half fight back from substitutes Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial saw the Red Devils finish the match as 3-2 victors.
Next was a visit to Goodison Park, where yet again, Erik ten Hag’s men went 1-0 down early on.
However, a quick reply from Antony coupled with a Cristiano Ronaldo strike just before halftime saw United 2-1 victors.

The club then welcomed Omonia to Old Trafford, where a last-minute Scott McTominay strike gave much victory to Manchester United.
