Two Premier League heavyweights in distress, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur, will clash at Old Trafford on Saturday. Both clubs are desperate to climb out of the lower reaches of the table and reignite their push for European qualification.
Between them, United and Tottenham have managed just one victory in their first five league outings. The Red Devils occupy 12th place with five points, whereas Spurs are rooted to the bottom with a mere two points. The sluggish starts have intensified scrutiny on both newly appointed managers.
Tottenham, having narrowly escaped relegation last season, are in no mood for another relegation battle. Meanwhile, United's manager, Carrick, appears to have already exhausted the goodwill he accumulated during his interim stint in the second half of the previous campaign.
Key Analysis
The pressure is mounting on both sides, making this match a critical early-season test. A win could provide a much-needed lift, while a loss could deepen the crisis.
