Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United resume their Premier League campaigns on Friday following a break of more than 100 days.The sides experienced contrasting form prior to the coronavirus-enforced shutdown, with United going 11 games without defeat in all competitions and Spurs failing to win in six.

Tottenham’s home league form under their current manager has been reasonably solid: W5, L3. That sequence includes an 80% win rate (W4, L1) against teams from outside last season’s top four, with three of those four wins seeing the first half won 1-0 either way (HT: W2, L1).

For the benefit of optimistic Spurs fans, four of Tottenham’s last six Premier League (PL) home victories have seen one team win the first half by a one-goal margin. Every one of the four matches in that category also ended separating the sides by a single goal.

Man Utd are unbeaten in five PL outings (W3, D2), averaging exactly 1.0 unanswered goals per game after the hour mark across the three victories. By extension, each of Man Utd’s last five PL victories have come with a clean sheet and by an average margin of 2.60 goals.

United are much better placed for a top-five finish ahead of the restart, sitting three places higher than Spurs in what is likely to be the final Champions League qualifying spot
