If the title is not going to end up with Claudio Ranieri and Leicester, Tottenham need to win here. Kyle Walker’s own goal gave United three points and a flying start to the season in August, but since then Tottenham have improved in all areas. United haven’t lost at White Hart Lane in any of their last 14 league encounters, and have two successive clean sheets behind them. Joel Tivemo
