Manchester United will be hoping to leave White Hart Lane with the three points on Sunday, else their top four ambitions could suffer a huge setback.
BBC football expert Mark Lawrenson however believes Tottenham will get the better of United on Sunday.
Spurs are currently second on the table and will want to maintain the five points gap with leaders Leicester.
But with Leicester playing first, a Leicester draw or defeat would be an added catalyst for Spurs to defeat United.
Mark wrote on his BBC column:
"After dropping a couple of points last week - albeit at Anfield - Tottenham simply have to win this game.
"I think they will. Manchester United got a great result against Everton but if their manager Louis van Gaal admits the Toffees were the better side and deserved something from the game then you know his side were outplayed."
Mark thinks Manchester United's FA Cup fixture with West Ham on Wednesday could have an effect on how United would perform.
"United are back in London on Wednesday night,for their FA Cup quarter-final replay against,West Ham, which I think will be on their mind at
the weekend.'' He added.
Mark's final prediction is a 2-0 Tottenham win.
What's your prediction for the game?
