Manchester United will be aiming to return to winning ways in the Premier League when they welcome Tottenham Hotspur to Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon.
The Red Devils beat Wigan Athletic 2-0 in the FA Cup last week, but they suffered a 2-1 loss to Nottingham Forest in the league last time out, and Erik ten Hag's side are currently down in eighth spot in the table.
Tottenham, meanwhile, have won four of their last five league matches, with a strong run of form leaving them in fifth position, eight points ahead of their opponents this weekend.
Here, Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at the head-to-head record and previous meetings between the two sides.

Head-to-head record
Previous meetings: 160
Man Utd wins: 84
Draws: 35
Spurs wins: 41
Man United comfortably lead the overall head-to-head record between these two sides, winning 84 of their previous 160 meetings, while Tottenham have 41 victories, and there have also been 35 draws.
The Red Devils have scored 263 times against Spurs throughout history, meanwhile, conceding 198, while the 20-time English champions have also dominated their Premier League encounters, recording 39 wins, while they have only ever lost 11 times to Tottenham in the Premier League.
Spurs recorded a 2-0 victory over Man United at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium earlier this season, which proved to be their first success against the Red Devils since winning 6-1 at Old Trafford in October 2020.
The North London outfit have actually only won two of their last 10 league clashes with Man United, but two of their last three victories over them have come at Old Trafford, having also won 3-0 in August 2018.
Last season, Ten Hag's side ran out 2-0 winners in the corresponding league contest, which made it four straight victories over the capital team.
Wayne Rooney is actually Man United's all-time leading Premier League goalscorer against Tottenham, finding the back of the net on 11 occasions.
However, the overall record is held by Denis Law, who struck 14 goals against Spurs, with Sir Bobby Charlton in second on 12, while Bobby Smith (11) and Jimmy Greaves (11) are also in the top five with Rooney.
On Sunday, Tottenham will be bidding to complete a first top-flight double over Man United in the Premier League era, so there is a lot at stake at Old Trafford, especially with Ten Hag under major pressure to deliver a positive result in front of Sir Jim Ratcliffe, with the club's new incoming minority shareholder expected to be in the stands.
