Two clubs in the top half of the Premier League table will do battle today in a league match between Manchester United and Tottenham. The first-division clash scheduled for 7 a.m. ET will be held at White Hart Lane in London and can be live streamed here free. Additional TV coverage can be found on NBC Sports.
What They're Saying
Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino (via ESPN FC): "Christian [Eriksen] has a free role. I think he is a player you need to give confidence."
Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal (via the Guardian): "I cannot prepare my team like I have to prepare. We have team meetings, we have a training session always 11 against 11, simulating the opponent, we cannot do that now. We have to play within 48 hours. UEFA and FIFA [say] it's forbidden to play within 48 hours, but okay, it's England."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Eriksen has seven goals and an assist in 18 league appearances. Always a creative spark, the 22-year-old is averaging 2.3 key passes.
Tottenham's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Lloris; Davies, Vertonghen, Fazio, Walker; Mason, Bentaleb; Chadli, Eriksen, Lamela; Kane
Manchester United's Projected Lineup (3-4-1-2): Gea; Evans, Smalling, Jones; Young, Carrick, Rooney, Valencia; Mata; Persie, Wilson
