It's a day of reckoning in North London. Will the positivity sweeping Old Trafford continue into the international break, or will Tottenham make it five wins in a row against Man United?
Both teams start the weekend on 17 points knowing - despite all the noise - a win would take them second in the Premier League before other matches kick off.
The pressure has been growing on Thomas Frank because of Spurs' poor league form. They have taken just four points at home after recent losses to Aston Villa and Chelsea but they did hammer FC Copenhagen 4-0 in the UEFA Champions League in midweek.
Ruben Amorim's United have started to find some form after a slow start to the season but they remain susceptible defensively - as was shown by last week's 2-2 draw against Nottingham Forest.
Can Tottenham hit form or will Man United continue their improved run of form in the capital city, led by October's player of the month Bryan Mbeumo?
AllSportsPeople brings you this betting preview complete with the latest tips and predictions. We haven't seen a goalless draw in this fixture since 2014.
Spurs vs. Man United prediction: Who will win today?
Home advantage for Spurs has not necessarily been a positive thing in recent times, with 41 defeats in the league since they moved into the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium back in 2019.
In fact, Spurs have collected nine more points on the road so far this season (13 to 4) to sit top of the away table and 17th for home matches. They haven't won at home in the league since the opening day against newly promoted Burnley.
The Reds will head to north London knowing they can put Spurs under immense pressure and the fanbase of the hosts may draw extra anxiety from the home team.
That said, United can still be shaky at the back and Spurs - having got on the front foot against Copenhagen in midweek - will try and get themselves going at United from the off.
A reminder - if either team win, they will go second before other matches in the league this weekend.

Tottenham vs. Man United Score Prediction
That morale boosting victory against the Danish champions in midweek should provide Spurs with an impetus to get at an improved United side that can still be shaken when a side gets up a head of steam, as was the case in the early stages of the second-half against Forest last week.
That said, though, United are beginning to also show a resilience that is making them tougher to defeat, even if they are still conceding and so it should be an even contest. We're backing a score draw.
Score Prediction: Tottenham 1-1 Man United (13/2 with Bet365)

Tottenham Team News
- Tottenham have found it difficult to find a reliable striker, with Dane Scarlett even coming off the bench in midweek, but it remains unlikely he gets the nod in the Premier League.
- They are dealing with plenty of frustrating injuries in attack, most notably Dominic Solanke, whilst Mohammed Kudus remains a doubt.
- Djed Spence was a doubt for the Champions League clash but he is available, though Lucas Bergvall will not return from concussion until after the November international break.
Man United Team News
- Harry Maguire has found some form having been plagued by fitness concerns. The England international is fully fit for this weekend, though.
- Argentina international centre-back Lisandro Martinez remains the only absentee, with the Ajax man nearing a return to the side after the break.
- Benjamin Sesko was on the bench at Anfield and so it wouldn’t be a shock to see Amorim take a similar approach with Mason Mount coming into the XI.
Tottenham vs. Man United lineups
This is how we think the two sides will line up this lunchtime, with Frank opting for Richarlison through the middle in place of Kolo Muani and Amorim sticking with his Anfield-winning front three of Mbeumo, Cunha and Mount - meaning no place in the XI for Benjamin Sesko.
Tottenham predicted lineup to play Man United
(4-2-3-1) Vicario (GK) — Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Spence — Palhinha, Bentancur — Johnson, Simons, Tel — Richarlison
Man United predicted lineup to play Tottenham
(3-4-2-1) Lammens (GK) — De Ligt, Maguire, Shaw — Diallo, Casemiro, Fernandes, Dalot — Mbeumo, Mount — Cunha
