Alan Shearer and Harry Redknapp have given their predictions for the huge Premier League clash between Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United.
Thomas Frank's side can jump up to second place if they secure their sixth win of the season and will be in confident mood following their 4-0 win over Copenhagen in midweek. United, meanwhile, are also on 17 points and a win at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium would propel the Red Devils into second and five points behind league leaders Arsenal.
Spurs beat Manchester United four times last season, including the 1-0 Europa League victory in Bilbao. In fact, Amorim's side failed to even score against the Lilywhites in the league last campaign.

Redknapp believes the home side will once more come away with all three points. Predicting a 2-1 win, Redknapp told football betting site BetVictor: "What a great game to start the weekend, this is a hard one to call.
"I’ll be honest, I thought Spurs were terrible at home to Chelsea last weekend. They just looked out of ideas or any creativity. They rebounded in style during the week though, what a goal that was from Van de Ven!
"United played quite well at Forest at times but again, some defensive lapses cost them all three points. They were on a good winning run as well, that fella was so close to getting a haircut, the poor lad must have been gutted!
"I’m picking Spurs, but not by much." Asked for his player to watch, the former Tottenham boss said: "I’m not expecting him to pick the ball up and run the length of the park again but what a top player Van de Ven is."
Shearer, however, is predicting a draw. Speaking to Betfair, he said: "It's such a tough one to call. After Spurs' performance against Chelsea - that was the worst performance under Thomas Frank that Tottenham have had. They weren't a threat at all.
"Man United went to Nottingham Forest and got a decent point. I'll go for a draw here which I don't think will be a bad result for both clubs.
"The result last week was a good result for Man United because I think Nottingham Forest will improve and be tough to beat under Sean Dyche. Again, you have to say if Man United are going to be making big improvements by getting results at tough grounds, this is going to be one of them.
"You can imagine it'll be another huge statement again. If they can go to Liverpool and win like they did then they can certainly go to Tottenham and win in a different way. That's why I think it's so difficult to predict. A month ago, I'd have said Spurs would definitely win but because of Man United's recent results, they have to keep going and go one step further."
