Michael Carrick’s Manchester United seek a season-best four-game winning streak when Tottenham Hotspur visit Old Trafford early Saturday.
The Red Devils’ wins over Man City, Arsenal, and Fulham are all part of a seven-match Premier League unbeaten run dating back to Boxing Day, and United have climbed into fourth place with 41 points. That’s five points back of third-place Aston Villa yet barely clear of chasers Chelsea and Liverpool.

Spurs are looking for a win above anything, winless in six-straight Premier League games. Their latest outing was an impressive fightback to draw Manchester City in North London that came on the heels of a good 2-0 win at Eintracht Frankfurt in the UEFA Champions League.

Manchester United vs Tottenham Hotspur prediction
Thomas Frank could use another big-name result to cool his perhaps-hot seat, but Spurs injury list remains more novel than short story. Man United made the most of their talent to earn their 3-2 win over Fulham, but they were controlled for long stretches of play. They may need more moments of magic on Saturday. Manchester United 2-1 Spurs.
