After a sluggish start to the season, United have won two on the bounce and look set to continue their recent run of form with a home tie against Wolverhampton this weekend.<\/p>\n
Away wins at Burnley and a previously-undefeated Watford have put United back within six points of the leaders, although at this stage of the season that already might be too much.<\/p>\n
They sit just one position and one point above Wolves, who took a point off City on the third weekend, before consecutive 1-0 victories over West Ham and Burnley.<\/p>\n
During their last season in the Premier League, United put nine past Wolverhampton over their two matches, although this time around they should certainly pose more of a threat to the Red Devils.<\/p>\n
That being said, expect United to continue their winning streak this weekend.<\/p>\n
Since the Spurs put United to the sword at Old Trafford, Tottenham have lost their past three matches (all 2-1, incidentally).<\/p>\n
Premier League losses to Watford and Liverpool were followed up by a collapse at the San Siro, where the Spurs led 1-0 before two late goals to Inter Milan saw them leave Matchday 1 of the Champions League group stage without any points.<\/p>\n
Brighton defeated Manchester United in their second fixture and pushed Liverpool all the way the following week, before back-to-back 2-2 draws against Fulham and Southampton.<\/p>\n
This contest is more about Tottenham\u2019s ability to bounce back from some lacklustre performances, with their efforts at Wembley against Liverpool a poor showing.<\/p>\n
Without Dele Alli the Spurs looked a shadow of themselves, constantly turning the ball over in the middle of the park and affording Liverpool a lot of opportunities. It\u2019s a wonder the Reds only scored twice.<\/p>\n
Despite playing a mid-table side, a deflating loss to Milan and a trip back from Italy might keep the Spurs from grabbing all three points at the Amex Stadium.<\/p>\n
Arsenal have an important fixture on their hands to close out the weekend of football, hosting Everton in the only match on Monday morning.<\/p>\n
The Gunners began the season with two straight losses, but with wins against West Ham, Cardiff and Newcastle, Unai Emery has seemed to turned their early form around.<\/p>\n
The Toffees however post a little bit more of a threat, especially with the return of Richarlison, who scored three goals in his opening two matches before receiving a red card in their 2-2 draw with Bournemouth.<\/p>\n
The Brazilian will be out to repay his teammates for missing the past three matches, although Arsenal should just be too good at home.<\/p>\n
