Tottenham vs Man Utd - Premier League: TV channel, team news, lineups & prediction
- Tottenham host Manchester United in the Premier League on Saturday
- Ange Postecoglou will make his home debut as manager
- Spurs drew at Brentford last weekend while Man Utd unconvincingly beat Wolves
Ange Postecolgou makes his competitive managerial bow at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday evening as Spurs take on Manchester United.
Tottenham's new dawn got off to a promising start away at Brentford last Sunday with the two sides playing out an entertaining 2-2 draw. While Spurs have plenty to work on defensively, the Bees were a tricky matchup for Ange's men, they acquitted themselves well in west London.
However, another tough test awaits on Saturday as United come to town. Tottenham's record against the Red Devils has been wretched since their famous 6-1 win at Old Trafford three years ago, although United's struggles in their win over Wolverhampton Wanderers will undoubtedly fill the home side with confidence.
The unfancied Wolves were mightily unfortunate to leave Manchester with nothing after spurning several golden opportunities on the counter-attack.
An intriguing contest awaits in north London, and here's our preview of the game.

Tottenham team news
Cristian Romero will be evaluated ahead of Saturday's game after suffering a head injury in the draw with Brentford, but the defender should be available to start alongside new arrival Micky van de Ven.
Bryan Gil remains sidelined for the hosts, with Postecoglou unlikely to make too many changes from his first-ever Premier League XI. Although, Pape Matar Sarr could come in for Oliver Skipp in midfield.
Ivan Perisic and Manor Solomon are both vying for starts in the front line.

Man Utd team news
Erik ten Hag will surely make some sort of adjustment from Monday's win over Wolves given the success the away side had in transition. United's midfield was so often bypassed with Casemiro being left on an island, so we could see Scott McTominay come into the team to provide some support.
Alejandro Garnacho's sub-par display will likely condemn him to the bench with Marcus Rashford continuing up top until Rasmus Hojlund recovers from his injury.
Lisandro Martinez is a doubt after picking up a knock on Monday night, but the Argentine is expected to be fine for Saturday's away trip.
Man Utd predicted lineup vs Tottenham
Man Utd predicted lineup (4-2-3-1): Onana; Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Martinez, Shaw; Casemiro, McTominay; Antony, Fernandes, Mount; Rashford.
Tottenham vs Man Utd score prediction
Many of us are expecting more improvement from United this season but Monday's win showed they're still very much a work in progress.
Ten Hag will be expected to adjust in order to make his side more secure in midfield, but Saturday's trip to Spurs looks like a tough one. The home support in N17 will be buzzing for Ange's home debut after last weekend's promise, and although his side now lack a cutting edge in the final third, they're bound to create chances on Saturday - especially if they break United's press.
An entertaining bout is in store, and it wouldn't be a surprise to see the spoils shared given the vulnerabilities of both sides in defensive transition.
