The Story in 60 Seconds

Tottenham Hotspur will face Manchester United at Old Trafford on Saturday, October 10, following an international break. Manager Roberto De Zerbi will aim to reverse a poor recent run of form, as Spurs have lost four of their last five Premier League matches immediately following an international break.

Tottenham's sole victory during that sequence was a 3-0 away win against West Ham in September 2025, featuring goals from Pape Matar Sarr, Lucas Bergvall, and Micky van de Ven. Across those five games, Spurs earned just three points from a possible 15, suffering defeats against Chelsea, Aston Villa, Arsenal, and Sunderland.
