Sunday afternoon’s match at Old Trafford sees Manchester United host Tottenham Hotspur as the battle for Champions League football intensifies.

The sides headed into the weekend in fourth and sixth place respectively, separated by just three points with ten games left to play.

United have won three of their last four league games, but go in to this match having been knocked out of the FA Cup by holders Arsenal on Monday evening.

Three points here would at least keep them hot on the heels of the Gunners in third place, after Arsene Wenger’s men beat West Ham United 3-0 on Saturday afternoon.

Angel Di Maria will miss the game through suspension after he saw red last time out while Jonny Evans is also suspended.

Robin van Persie is sidelined through injury and Marcos Rojo is a doubt with a groin problem though Ashley Young is available despite hurting his leg on Monday.

Wayne Rooney, who has three goals in his last three appearances, is favourite to open the scoring at 5.5 (9/2) with Ladbrokes, ahead of Radamel Falcao who is a 6.5 (11/2) chance with the same firm.

The home win is widely available at 1.95 (19/20), with the visitors as highly priced as the 4.33 (10/3) on offer from a variety of bookmakers. The draw is a 3.8 (14/5) chance with Betfred.

After going five games without a win in all competitions, Spurs have taken maximum points from their last two games and will move level with their opponents with a win here.

Mauricio Pochettino has no injury concerns ahead of the game so could stick with the same starting eleven that beat Queens Park Rangers last weekend.

Harry Kane can easily be found at 7.0 (6/1) to get the first goal of the game, with Christian Eriksen priced at 14.0 (13/1) with Bet Victor.

The two sides played out a goalless draw back in December, but the five meetings prior to that saw both teams score in the game and you can back that outcome here at 1.73 (8/11) with Betfred.
