The last meeting of these teams was a cracker, with Spurs defeating United 4-3 in an error-filled Carabao Cup quarter-final. Who knows what could happen this afternoon as 14th and 15th meet in north London.
But United could be without Amad Diallo for the rest of the season after the winger suffered an ankle injury. Manager Amorim has been hit with another injury blow and has named eight teenagers on his bench ahead of facing Tottenham.
This could be high-scoring’
16 mins: United have looked loose at the back in the early minutes and the warnings were not heeded. Yet another ball from out wide has opened them. Lucas Bergvall forced a save from Andre Onana, that allowed James Maddison to tap in. There is at least hope for United in how they got at Spurs already. This could be high-scoring.
GOAL! Tottenham 1-0 Man Utd (MADDISON 13′)
MADDISON IS BACK WITH A BANG!
It’s so poor from United’s defence, who were sleeping. Bergvall is able to bring the ball down and shoot in the box but Onana’s save is soft. Maguire and De Ligt are standing like statues but Maddison is alive, he follows in and puts the rebound away.
Back from injury, there’s the old “darts” celebration from Maddison. He’s back on target.
