Manchester United welcome Tottenham to Old Trafford on Saturday for a massive Premier League showdown as both aim to push towards the top four. The spot is currently occupied by red-hot Arsenal, with Manchester United a point back but with three more games played. Tottenham are three back, also with one more game played. With less opportunities to catch up, the pressure is on here, with the winner in great shape, while a draw does very little for either.

Storylines
Man United: After missing out on the Manchester City clash, Manchester United superstar Cristiano Ronaldo is set to return, according to manager Ralf Rangnick. Ronaldo had been dealing with a hip problem by returned to training on Thursday. Fellow attacker Edinson Cavani is also back after missing six straight games due to injury.
Tottenham: Cristian Romero looks set to play, while Japhet Tanganga (knee) and Oliver Skipp (groin) have missed eight matches each due to injury. In terms of form, this game comes at a good time but off the back of inconsistency. They beat first-place Manchester City last month but then lost to last-place Burnley. The positive side is they have nine goals scored in their last two Premier League games and just one goal conceded in their last three.
Prediction
Harry Kane puts Spurs in the lead, but Anthony Elanga comes through with a crucial equalizer to rescue a point. Pick: Man United 1, Tottenham 1
