Now that Chelsea has been crowned the Premier League Champions for the 2016/17 season, Tottenham Hotspur will definitely look to avoid any unnecessary goof-ups that can topple them from finishing at a well deserved second place, when they come head to head with Manchester United at White Hart Lane this weekend. The Spurs fans will be hoping that the result of their encounter with The Hammers does not repeat itself in this match, reducing all their expectations to mere daydreams.
Manchester United, on the other hand, will be looking to try and win all the matches that are left before the season comes to a close to make it into the top four and book a place in next year’s UEFA Champions League. The Red Devils are already in the final of this year’s UEFA Europa League, and their morale is high, having beaten the Spanish side Celta Vigo in the Semi-Final, courtesy a scrappy 1-1 draw in the second leg.
Both the teams have no dearth of talented players and match winners, who can turn the tide in their sides’ favour on the matchday. Here are the three most crucial players to look out for in this tie:
Marcus Rashford-
Not many people were confident that The Red Devils can beat Celta Vigo in their UEFA Europa League Semi Final clash. Marcus Rashford scored a brilliant goal from a free kick in the first leg to seal the victory for his team, showing that he has what it takes to be one of the future stars. His form has been sublime in the recent times and Mauricio Pochettino will have special plans to stop him from scoring goals when the two giants of English football meet each other.
Harry Kane-
One of the best strikers currently in English as well as world football, Tottenham star Harry Kane, is a dangerous customer in the attacking third, leading his team’s charge to score goals. In their next matchup against Manchester United, he will definitely be a player to watch out for. He has already scored 20 goals this season and will look to add to his tally this weekend.
Dele Alli-
Dele Alli’s predator’s instinct in front of the goal makes him a force to reckon with. The 21 year old English international is an amazing dribbler and passer of the ball. With 17 goals and ive assists, he has undoubtedly been one of the best players in the Premier League this term. He will have to play a pivotal role for his team to get them past Manchester United in their forthcoming encounter.
