TEAM FORM
Spurs - DDWLL ----- Manu Utd - WDWLD
In the wake of another comically catastrophic few days at our Stadium, we return to the capital to take on Premier League top-four rivals Man Utd on this evening.While we were thumped 6-1 by Newcastle United on Sunday and subsequently gave Stellini the boot, the Red Devils set up an all-Manchester FA Cup final, beating Brighton in the Semi finals
SPURS
"Wholly unacceptable" and "devastating" were the words used by a dejected Levy to describe our side's mauling at the hands of Newcastle at the weekend, as the Magpies tore Stellini's back-four experiment to shreds with five goals inside just 21 minutes at St James' Park.
Just over 24 hours later, Stellini - who had only been promoted to the top job after leaving boss Conte behind - was inevitably sacked from his post, the latest in a long line of farcical episodes for us as Ryan Mason takes charge for the time being once again.
Having gleaned just five points from 12 on offer during Stellini's doomed tenure, our top-four chances are wilting away, sitting 7th but six points behind Man United and Newcastle - who have both played fewer games.
Mason - who many expected to take the reins when Conte acrimoniously departed in the first place - at least possesses some experience of top-level management, overseeing the end to the 2020-21 season after Mourinho's goodbye, and he takes over as we strive to improve a paltry record of two wins from our last nine games in all tournaments.
We have both scored and conceded in each of our last six games since our goalless draw with AC Milan back in March, but defeat to Bournemouth earlier this month ended a five-game winning home run in the Premier League, and it would take a special case of new manager bounce for us to somehow keep our Champions League dream alive.
Man Utd
As goalless draws go, Man United and Brighton & Hove Albion's Wembley 0-0 was one of the more entertaining ones, with both sides enjoying several promising spells in and around the penalty area, albeit without the crucial end product.
Following 120 minutes of breathless action in the capital, it would prove to be unlucky number 13 from the spot for Brighton, as March blazed his penalty over the top before Lindelof kept his composure to send Man United into their 21st FA Cup final, where bitter adversaries Manchester City lie inProgressing to English football's showpiece event was the perfect tonic to their Sevilla-inflicted Europa League humiliation for Man United, whose three-game winning streak in the Premier League has allowed them to open up a six-point lead over us in fourth place, while Newcastle are only above Manu on goal difference having played a game more.
Not since Sir Alex Ferguson's farewell season in 2012-13 have Man United managed to win four top-flight games on the bounce without conceding, but the Red Devils' form on rival territory does not make for incredibly positive reading, as they have only won two of their last six Premier League games on the road.
