Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United LIVE: Premier League latest score, goals and updates from fixture

Follow live coverage as Tottenham Hotspur face Manchester United in the Premier League today.

Manchester City are reigning champions after beating Liverpool to the finish line in a neck-and-neck 2021/22 title race where a comeback win on the final day of the season against Aston Villa secured a fourth title in five years for Pep Guardiola's side.

Jurgen Klopp's Reds were on course for a quadruple last season but were forced to settle for just an FA Cup and Carabao Cup win and will return trying to win the title again just as they did in 2020.

It was a dramatic season for Chelsea a year ago with Roman Abramovich now replaced by Todd Boehly as owner in west London. He will want an instant return on his hefty investment at Stamford Bridge while Tottenham, back in the Champions League, will want to kick on once more too.

It's not all about the action at the top though with Fulham, Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest promoted to the top tier for 2021/22 and hoping to hold their own against the best English football has to offer and avoid the drop.

We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:

Tottenham Hotspur FC 0 - 1 Manchester United FC

Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United

20:48

Perisic leads another raid down the left and sees a cross deflect behind off Wan-Bissaka. Porro lines up another delivery from the corner… but he completely overhits it, and the ball rolls through for a goal-kick on the opposite side. That's poor from the wing-back!

Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United

20:46

Good save from De Gea! Porro swings the corner towards the near post, where Perisic meets it with a glancing header. De Gea reacts well, springing up to push the ball away to safety!

Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United

20:45

Chance wasted! Richarlison finds space on the left-hand side of the box, but instead of going for goal, he attempts to pick out Porro at the far post. It's a poor decision, but the ball is cleared behind for a corner.

Spurs are enjoying a spell of possession deep inside their own territory. The hosts have struggled to get Kane and Son involved so far.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United

20:43

Save! Casemiro shoots on his left foot from 25 yards out, sending a dipping effort towards Forster's goal. The ball moves in the air and the goalkeeper opts against trying to catch it, awkwardly pushing it to safety.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United

20:41

Fernandes wins a corner on the right, but Shaw's delivery is poor and only reaches the first defender. Casemiro then looks for Rashford with a deep cross, but Lenglet heads it away.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United

20:39

There has not been much to separate the teams for much of this game, but United are clearly the more dangerous when they come forward. Spurs' backline looks nervous after being torn apart at Newcastle last week.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United

20:36

OFF THE LINE! That's a lucky escape for Spurs! Rashford finds Sancho in a similar position to where the first goal came from. The winger whips a deflected effort towards goal, but Perisic gets back to nod it off the goal line!

Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United

20:35

Romero is fortunate as he decides to leave a dangerous Wan-Bissaka cross, with no United player gambling at the back post. The Red Devils come again, and Hojbjerg hammers a clearance out of play.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United

20:33

Spurs have won just three of their last 21 league games at home to United (D7 L11). They have made a less-than-ideal start to their bid to improve on that record.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United

20:31

Tottenham are at least showing some fight as they attempt to hit back. Richarlison holds off Wan-Bissaka and feeds Kane, but the Spurs stand-in skipper sees his pass towards Son cut out.

20:30

Kane and Son combine to send Richarlison into the left-hand channel, from where the Brazilian shoots straight at De Gea. Had the Spurs man converted, he may have been denied by the offside flag.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United

20:29

Close! Rashford goes for a trademark, dipping attempt from the free-kick. He strikes it well, but it just drifts away from Forster's right-hand post!

Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United

20:28

Dier steps out of the backline and trips Rashford, handing United a free-kick 30 yards from goal. It's in quite a central area, so we may see a set-piece routine.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United

20:27

That early United goal has sucked the life out of the home crowd, with Spurs chairman Daniel Levy looking on with a gloomy expression. If there's a positive to be found for Tottenham supporters, they're doing better than last week, when they were 3-0 down within 10 minutes!

Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United

20:26

Richarlison battles with Wan-Bissaka as Spurs look to hit back. Perisic works space for a cross, but he puts far too much power on the delivery and it flies all the way through.

Good defending! Porro threads a neat ball in behind for Son, who attempts a first-time cut-back from the right. Kane is lurking, but Dalot is on hand to clear.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United

20:20

The visitors are enjoying most of the early possession. Fernandes drops deep to sweep a ball in behind for Rashford, but the forward is correctly flagged offside.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United

20:18

United have lined up as expected, with Shaw playing as a left-sided centre-back as their defensive injury crisis continues. For Tottenham, Richarlison has started from the left, with Son on the opposite flank.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United

20:17

Spurs found themselves 5-0 down within 21 minutes last week – the second-earliest a team has ever gone five goals behind in a Premier League match (after Watford did so in 18 minutes in an 8-0 loss to Manchester City in 2019). It's safe to say the home fans will expect a better start here.

United have won 39 Premier League games against Tottenham – more than any other team has managed against a single opponent in the competition's history. Will the Red Devils add to Spurs' woes? The teams are out, and we're about to find out!

20:07

Ten Hag makes one change from the team that started at Wembley, as Sancho replaces Martial. Having missed the FA Cup semi-final through suspension, club captain Harry Maguire is sidelined with an injury sustained in training, but there is more positive news regarding Fernandes. Having been a doubt for this match, the creative midfielder is passed fit and will wear Maguire's armband.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United

20:05

Few Tottenham players emerged from Sunday's mauling at St James' Park with any credit, but Mason only makes three changes from the final lineup named by Stellini. Spurs return to a familiar 3-4-3 shape as Richarlison and Lenglet replace Sarr and Kulusevski, while Lloris misses out with a hip injury, meaning Forster starts between the sticks. In the Lloris' absence, Kane captains the hosts.

19:48

United arrive at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in high spirits, having reached a record-equalling 21st FA Cup final with Sunday's penalty shoot-out victory over Brighton and Hove Albion at Wembley Stadium. While Erik ten Hag's men appear likely to secure a return to the Champions League in the coming weeks, a victory here would surely kill Spurs' slim hopes of catching them, as well as boosting the Red Devils' bid to beat Newcastle United to third place.

Another Premier League game, another new face in the Tottenham dugout. Ryan Mason begins his second interim spell in charge of Spurs, looking to mastermind a response after Sunday's remarkable 6-1 defeat to Newcastle United signalled the end of Cristian Stellini's time as acting head coach. Spurs begin this game in seventh, six points adrift of fourth-placed United having played two additional matches. Mason's men look highly unlikely to force their way into contention for a top-four finish, and they could find themselves out of Europe entirely without major improvements.
