Post-match: PL MD4: Manchester United v Tottenham Hotspur - Oct. 4, 2020

electrickeeper · Oct 2, 2020

MANCHESTER UNITED V TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR
PREMIER LEAGUE
SUNDAY 4 OCTOBER
OLD TRAFFORD
KICK-OFF: 4.30PM GMT

THFC Injuries
- Gareth Bale (out, knee)
- Heung-Min Son (25%, thigh)
- Giovani Lo Celso (25%, muscular tightness)

Manchester United Injuries
- Axel Tuanzebe (out, ankle/foot)
- Harry Maguire (100%, ankle/knee)
- Bruno Fernandes (75%, thigh)
- Sergio Romero (out, N/A)
- Phil Jones (out, knee)

Form (all matches)
THFC - WWDWW
Manchester United - WWWL

I can see the light at the end of the tunnel! After going through just a *touch* of fixture congestion, the last match of the brutal run is here. Form and morale seem to be high among the squad, but this will certainly be the hardest test yet.

PL Match Centre

Anthony Taylor will be the man in the middle of this match.

As far as an XI, I think it should be more of the same rotation that we've seen the past couple weeks. I think Dele could sneak into the XI given GLC's fitness, but wouldn't be shocked if Gio gets the nod. I think Reguilon may get his first full PL debut here as well.

I'll go with this:

ek's predicted XI

Lloris
Doherty - Dier - Sanchez - Reguilon
Ndombele - Hojbjerg
Lamela - Dele - Bergwijn
Kane

NBCSN will be carrying the action on Sunday.

This match might depend on Dier's upper and lower intestines.

Golara · Oct 2, 2020

And we get another shite ref, Man U guaranteed at least one penalty in this one.

Golara · Oct 2, 2020

Even though I have rocketed up to 3rd bottom in the COYSTRADAMUS table, I have zero confidence going into this one. The Man U players hate Jose to a man, so they will be looking to stick it to him once more. We will need to score at least 3 to get a result, since United are guaranteed to get at least one pen and we will concede another from open play.

That would be a good lineup, though that center back pairing always makes me nervous. What do the percentages mean? Percent chance that they will be in the squad, or percent chance they will be out?

They are the percentage they will be healthy enough to play.

Bergwijn played most of Tuesday in the League Cup and all of Thursday's match. Though his performances will surely have earned him more minutes in the near future, I'd be a bit surprised to see him starting again on Sunday.

Phillyspur · Oct 3, 2020

I'll go for the totally unjustified draw, or was that the last time we played them.

PK to Man Utd 30 seconds in.

Might as well get it over with...

electrickeeper · Oct 4, 2020

Tanguy with the equalizer moments later from some suspect Man Utd "defending."

1-1

electrickeeper · Oct 4, 2020

Son finishes off a Kane quick free kick...

2-1 after 8'

And yes, the PL assist leader wears #10 for Tottenham.

pookspur · Oct 4, 2020

I've missed the first 8 minutes. Anything happened yet?

Spurs moving the ball around while Man Utd are sitting back.

What bizarro world is this?

pookspur · Oct 4, 2020

United a shambles at the back. They're lucky it's not over by now.

pookspur · Oct 4, 2020

The farce continues.

pookspur · Oct 4, 2020

Kane scores! Now let's wait to see if we can actually celebrate it.

pookspur · Oct 4, 2020

... and Kane's down.

pookspur · Oct 4, 2020

Sonny! Spurs rampant.

pookspur · Oct 4, 2020

Kane's header flashes past the far post. Honestly ... four's not a fair reflection.

pookspur · Oct 4, 2020

Enjoying this. Perhaps I shouldn't be. But I am.

mekarshalev · Oct 4, 2020

And on nbcsn it’s only the “spurs” fans chanting

Funkfoot · Oct 4, 2020

Holy sheep shit!

Lazy Assed Assassin · Oct 4, 2020

Not a bad week. One dubious penalty call from being perfect.
