Man United ready to heap

Tottenham Hotspur will be looking to bounce back from a humiliating 6-1 thrashing at the hands of Newcastle when they host Manchester United tonight.

While Spurs were humbled at St James’ Park on Sunday, Man Utd booked their place in the FA Cup final with a penalty shootout win over Brighton at Wembley.

Fifth-placed Tottenham now find themselves six points behind fourth-placed Man Utd in the Premier League table, while the Red Devils have two games in hand.

Remarkably, Spurs found themselves 5-0 down after 21 minutes on Sunday, with braces from Jacob Murphy and Alexander Isak embarrassing the visitors.

Although Harry Kane pulled a goal back for his team after the break, Tottenham ended up suffering a dismal defeat as Callum Wilson came off the bench to score Newcastle’s sixth.

As a result, Spurs parted ways with interim manager Cristian Stellini, leaving Ryan Mason in charge until the end of the season.

Having won just one of their last five games suffering a 3-2 defeat to Bournemouth before Sunday’s thrashing Tottenham find themselves in a state of disarray.

As for Manchester United, they played out a goalless draw with Brighton after 120 minutes before winning on penalties to reach the FA Cup final.

The Red Devils have now lost one of their last six matches in all competitions, picking up four wins along the way, with only three defeats coming in their previous 23 outings.

Not only have Erik ten Hag’s men won each of their last three Premier League matches, but they have also kept three successive clean sheets.

Having avoided defeat in each of their last 14 home league games – securing 11 victories in the process – United will be confident of piling more pressure on sorry Spurs.

Head-to-head: Manchester United claimed a 2-0 victory in the reverse fixture back in October, meaning they have won each of their last four league meetings with Spurs.
