Tottenham Hotspur will welcome Manchester United at their North London home on Saturday evening in the second week of the 2023-24 Premier League season.
Tottenham, managed by Ange Postecoglou, began their new season with a 2-2 draw away to London rivals Brentford last weekend. Meanwhile, Manchester United won a close 1-0 game against Wolverhampton Wanderers, despite the fact that it was marred by controversy.
Tottenham, adjusting to life without Harry Kane, who is due to join Bayern Munich, embraced Postecoglou's offensive style against Brentford in their first Premier League match. The game got off to a comedic start when a water supply issue delayed kickoff.
Tottenham took the lead early in the game with a goal.Nonetheless, Emerson Royal's magnificent fourth goal earned the two clubs a well-deserved draw on the first weekend. Both teams have modern and offensive-minded head coaches, thus the outcome is fair. Postecoglou will soon take charge of his first Premier League home game.
Tottenham, who are currently eighth in the table following their stalemate at the Gtech Community Stadium, has a great home record. They won their first five home games of the 2022-23 Premier League season, as well as a five-game winning streak in front of their own fans from February to April.
