Writers Prediction League: Tottenham Hotspur at Manchester United

In the hunt. In last weekend's only Premier League match, Tottenham Hotspur bounced back from a run of tough form to beat QPR 2-1. The win pushed Spurs to 6th places, just three points out of 4th place. Harry Kane was the star man again, scoring a brace that gave Spurs the win. The defense was shaky at the end though. And ahead of a match against the current fourth place holders, can Spurs keep their momentum going on the road?

Manchester United's 4th place position has them just two points above Liverpool in 5th, so today's match will be a massive bellwether for the 4th place finisher. United have won two straight league matches, but a red card from Angel Di Maria in United's recent FA Cup loss to Arsenal ensures the talented Argentinian will miss today's match. Jonny Evans will also miss with injury, while Marcus Rojo is a doubt to play. United will surely rely on Wayne Rooney as the main provider of goals, while David De Gea will lead the revitalized Red Devils defense. Can United end Spurs' top-4 ambitions with a massive home win today?
