Manchester United to host Tottenham; Arsenal faces Leeds tomorrow

Manchester United will host rivals Tottenham Hotspur in a highly anticipated clash at Old Trafford tomorrow, Saturday, as part of the sixth round of the English Premier League. Under manager Michael Carrick, United sit in 12th place with five points from five matches (one win, two draws, and two defeats). Doubts remain over the availability of several key United players who missed international duty due to physical issues: Marcus Rashford, Kobbie Mainoo, Benjamin Sesko, and Noussair Mazraoui. Meanwhile, midfielder Carlos Baleba returned to United training after recovering from an ankle injury.

Tottenham are enduring a disastrous period, languishing in last place (20th) with just two points from two draws and three defeats, and failing to score in four of their five matches. Arsenal, meanwhile, face Leeds United in a tough contest at the Emirates Stadium. The Gunners enter the match in second place with 12 points, seeking to bounce back from their recent 3-0 defeat to Brighton before the international break and close the gap on league leaders Manchester City, who have 15 points from a perfect record. Leeds United are in fine form, sitting fifth with nine points, and remain one of the few teams yet to suffer a defeat this season (two wins and three draws).

In another match, Chelsea take on Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge, with both sides looking to correct their course after shaky starts to the current season. Chelsea, under their new manager Xabi Alonso, aim to improve their defensive record, while Bournemouth, led by new boss Marco Rose, seek their first league victory of the season.

In other fixtures, Aston Villa face Brentford, Ipswich Town meet Fulham, and Sunderland take on Brighton.
