Premier League Live Updates: Tottenham vs Manchester United Score and Stats
As the Premier League heats up, Tottenham Hotspur is set to face Manchester United, aiming to build on their recent success against the Red Devils. Last season, Tottenham achieved a remarkable Premier League double over United, marking significant dominance. They are seeking to make history by winning three consecutive league matches against Manchester United for the first time since the 1959-1960 season.
Recent Form and Statistics
Manchester United is currently grappling with a challenging streak. They have failed to secure victory in their last seven encounters with Tottenham across all competitions, with two draws and five losses. The last team to defeat Manchester United five times in a row was Liverpool between 2000 and 2002.
As the 2025 season unfolds, Tottenham has experienced a difficult run at home, recording more losses than any other team in the Premier League this year, totaling nine defeats. Historically, they have only reached double-digit home losses in league play twice, during the 1994 and 2003 seasons.
Manchester United’s Resurgence
On a more positive note, Manchester United is enjoying a strong run, remaining unbeaten in their last four league matches, with three victories and one draw. This marks their best performance under manager Rúben Amorim, matching their longest unbeaten streak since January and February 2024.
Moreover, Manchester United has been prolific in their attacking play, ranking second in the league with 153 shots taken, only behind Liverpool. With 54 of these being on target, they have the highest number of shots on goal this season. An impressive 66.7% of their attempts came from inside the box, their best ratio since their title-winning season in 2012-2013.
Challenges for Tottenham
Contrastingly, Tottenham’s performance has shown signs of struggle. They registered an xG of just 0.1 in their recent loss to Chelsea, a record low figure in the Premier League this season. Additionally, they average only 9.7 shots per game, the lowest since the 1997-1998 campaign.
Another worrying statistic for Spurs is the reliance on foreign players, with only 7.8% of total minutes played being by English players, the lowest percentage in their Premier League history.
Key Player Highlights
- Manchester United’s Bruno Fernandes has provided 53 Premier League assists since his debut, ranking third behind Mohamed Salah and Kevin De Bruyne.
- Bryan Mbeumo has scored four Premier League goals against Tottenham, with three coming at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
As Tottenham and Manchester United prepare for their upcoming clash, both teams have significant stakes in the match. Tottenham aims to end their drought against United, while United looks to continue their upward trajectory.
