We simulated Manchester United v Tottenham Hotspur to get a score prediction

Manchester United host Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on Saturday, in what could be a crucial game for both team's top-four aspirations.

Following their 4-1 defeat to local rivals Manchester City last weekend, results elsewhere saw United drop out of the top four, falling one point behind Arsenal. The Gunners beat Watford 3-2 as they leapfrogged the Reds for the first time this season, with the Gunners having two games in hand on Ralf Rangnick's side.

Spurs can potentially relegate United down to seventh in the league table with a win at Old Trafford, but a win for the Reds could put the pressure back on Arsenal. Their last meeting at Old Trafford saw Spurs beat United 6-1, with Harry Kane and Heung-Min Son both scoring twice.

Raphael Varane is also expected to return after missing United's last outing through Covid-19.

So, what line-ups will both teams select? And, what could the final score be?
