Team Form and Tactical Insights

Spurs returned to winning ways on Sunday with a commanding 5-0 victory over Southampton. While the Saints’ struggles temper the result’s significance, it nonetheless boosts Tottenham’s morale heading into this crucial tie. Postecoglou, renowned for his second-season success, will be eager to turn that form into cup progress.

Meanwhile, United’s dramatic 2-1 victory over Manchester City last weekend provided a timely lift. Yet, inconsistency remains a concern under Amorim, who is still moulding his team’s identity. Defeating Spurs at their fortress would be a definitive statement.
