Tottenham Hotspur make a trip to Manchester United on Sunday afternoon.
Martin Keown has told The Mail that he expects Tottenham Hotspur to earn a 2-2 draw with Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday.
The Theatre of Dreams plays host to a huge match this weekend as Tottenham travel north in search of a third successive victory in all competitions.
Mauricio Pochettino’s side are in the process of finding their best form again after following their 5-0 demolition of Swansea City with a 3-1 win over CSKA Moscow in the Champions League at Wembley on Wednesday night.
Spurs might well be 10 points behind Premier League leaders Chelsea by the time they kick off at Old Trafford, so victory is essential in order to preserve their hopes of mounting a serious title challenge in the second half of the campaign.
It is also a must-win match for the hosts, who are 13 points behind the Blues and nine adrift in the race for Champions League qualification – and six behind fifth-placed Tottenham.
“This is a very tricky game for Jose Mourinho. If Manchester United were to lose this one, fourth place becomes very difficult for them to achieve,” he told The Mail.
“For Tottenham, it is the third tough away game in the last few weeks having travelled to the Emirates and Stamford Bridge.
“If they can get a result at Old Trafford, it leaves them a great position as all these teams have to play them at White Hart Lane later in the season. I think it will be a 2-2 draw.”
