Manchester United are set to take on Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford on Sunday.
Phil Thompson has suggested on Sky Sports News, which was broadcast on 9th December, that he believes Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United will draw at Old Trafford on Sunday.
Spurs and United both harbour ambitions of breaking into the top four this season, and this match looks crucial for both sides.
Tottenham could move into the Champions League qualifying spaces if they are able to beat United.
Spurs would also put nine points between themselves and Jose Mourinho’s men with a victory at Old Trafford.
However, if the Red Devils are able to get the three points it would push them right back into the race for a place in Europe’s top competition.
Thompson believes that both sides may end up disappointed, though, as a draw looks to be a likely result.
“You’re looking at the two sides and a win will be imperative if they want to make the top four, so it will probably be a draw,” he said.
Tottenham head into their match against United after beating CSKA Moscow 3-1 in the Champions League on Wednesday.
United, meanwhile, were 2-0 winners against Zorya in Ukraine last night.
