Tottenham Hotspur will be looking to get their first win of the season under new manager Ange Postecoglou when they host Manchester United this weekend at White Hart Lane.
Spurs will be coming into this game off a draw against Brentford in their opening game of the season, while the Red Devils are coming into this match having defeated Wolves in their game at Old Trafford. Manchester United will be looking to make it two wins from two in the Premier League this season, as they travel to Spurs on Saturday. The last time they achieved such feat was under Jose Mourinho during the 2017/18 season.
This is the first time in over a decade that Tottenham will be playing their first home game without the club's legend, Harry Kane, who recently moved to Bayern Munich. This is going to be a big blow for the London team.

Manchester United come into this game having the second highest number of Premier League points in 2023 so far (46) with only Manchester City (56) ahead of them.
The last time Spurs player at home in the Premier League, they lost 3-1 to Brentford in May 2023. They last recorded back to back defeats in league games at home in January 2023 which was against Aston Villa and Arsenal.
