Alright, so today I wanna talk about this match, Tottenham versus Man Utd. Man, what a game that was. I’ve been following these two teams for a while now, and I always get excited when they face each other. So, here’s how it all went down from my perspective.

First off, I did some digging to see what the expected lineups were. It’s always fun to guess who’s gonna be on the pitch, right? I saw some predictions online, and people were talking about Tottenham’s formation, seemed like they might go with a 4-2-3-1. Vicario was expected in goal, with Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, and Udogie in defense. Midfield, it looked like Bentancur and Maddison. Then, for the attack, it was Johnson, Kulusevski, Werner, and Solanke up front. Also I found out there are some players like Forster, Spence, Dragusin, and Gray on the bench.
But the real confirmed starting XI for Tottenham was a bit different. It had Forster in goal, which was surprising, and a defense line of Porro, Dragusin, Gray, and Spence. Midfield was Maddison, Sarr, and Bissouma, and up front, they had Kulusevski, Solanke, and Son. On the bench were Austin, Whiteman, Reguilon, Dorrington, Hardy, and Bergvall. Interesting choices, I must say.
Now, for Man Utd, the buzz was around a 4-2-3-1 formation as well. Onana was the expected goalkeeper, with a defense of Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Evans, and Dalot. Eriksen and Mainoo were thought to be in midfield, and the attack looked strong with Garnacho, Fernandes, Rashford, and Hojlund. Bayindir and Heaton were on the bench.
The Match Day
The match day came, and the atmosphere was electric, I could feel it even from here. The game was at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Scheduled for an 8pm GMT kick-off. This was a big one, part of the Carabao Cup quarter-finals. I made sure I wouldn’t miss it.
As the game started, both teams looked hungry. I was particularly keeping an eye on how Tottenham’s defense would hold up against Man Utd’s attack. And of course, how the midfield battle between the likes of Maddison and Fernandes would play out. It was intense!

- The first half was a real back-and-forth. Both teams created chances, but the defenses were solid. I gotta say, watching Vicario and Onana making saves was impressive.
- There were some close calls. One moment I thought Son was gonna score, but the shot just went wide. Then Rashford had a go, but it was saved. The tension was building up.
- By halftime, it was still 0-0. I was like, “Come on, guys, give us some goals!”
In the second half, things started to heat up. Tottenham made some subs, bringing in fresh legs. Man Utd did the same, trying to break the deadlock. The crowd was getting louder, and I was on the edge of my seat. And then, it happened!
- A beautiful play from Tottenham. Maddison found Son with a perfect pass, and Son, being the clinical finisher he is, put it in the back of the net. 1-0 to Tottenham! I jumped up, yelling at the screen.
- Man Utd didn’t back down, though. They pushed hard for an equalizer. There was a moment when I thought they had it, but the shot hit the post. Phew, that was close!
- In the dying minutes, Tottenham sealed the deal. A counter-attack, a pass to Kulusevski, and boom, another goal! 2-0. The stadium erupted, and so did I!
The final whistle blew, and Tottenham won 2-0. What a match! It was a great display of football from both sides, but Tottenham’s defense and clinical finishing made the difference. I was so pumped after the game, I couldn’t stop talking about it.
So yeah, that’s
