Sunday’s Premier League action from White Hart Lane sees title-chasing Tottenham Hotspur face a Manchester United side looking to keep the pressure of rivals Manchester City in the race for a top four spot.

Maurico Pochettino’s side began the weekend seven points behind leaders Leicester City, and that gap could be increased depending on the Foxes’ resut against struggling Sunderland in Sunday’s early kick-off.

The North London outfit have lost just one of their last eleven league games, with eight of those fixtures ending in victory though they only managed to draw with Liverpool last time out.

Jan Vertongham could return after missing the last three months with a knee injury while there could also be a recall for Erik Lamela who missed out at Anfield last week with a knock.

Harry Kane is unsurprisingly the favourite to open the scoring at 4.75 (15/4) with Bet 365, with Christian Eriksen a 9.5 (17/2) chance with the same firm.

The home win is 2.05 (21/20) with a number of firms with the visitors as highly priced as the 4.2 (16/5) on offer from Bet Victor. The draw can be backed at 3.55 (28/11) with 888 Sport.

Four wins from five in the league has helped Louis van Gaal’s side keep in touch with the sides in the Champions League qualification places.

They edged past Everton last time out and another win here would see them move to within a point of their neighbours.

Phil Jones, Antonio Valencia and Ashley Young are all available for selection though Wayne Rooney and Luke Shaw remain out and Daley Blind is doubful with a knock.

Marcus Rashford is 9.0 (8/1) to get the first goal of the game with Bet 365 with Memphis Depay a 13.0 (12/1) chance with Betfair.

The Red Devils ran out 1-0 winners when the sides met at Old Trafford on the opening day of the season and whilst a repeat of that score is unlikley you may be tempted to back under 2-5 goals here at 4/5 with Bet Victor.
