After beating Brentford 2-0 in their last league match to end a seven-game winless run, Tottenham will be looking to secure consecutive league wins for the first time since September, when they defeated Brentford and Manchester United back-to-back.
Since their last league victory, Ange Postecoglou’s side has suffered cup exits at the hands of Liverpool in the Carabao Cup and Aston Villa in the FA Cup.
Spurs are also struggling at home, failing to win any of their last seven Premier League games at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, drawing two and losing five.

Manchester United are hoping to recover from a disappointing 2-0 league defeat to Crystal Palace in their last outing.
However, they responded with a 2-1 FA Cup victory over Leicester City and have won four of their last five matches in all competitions.
