3 key battles as Manchester United host Tottenham in the Premier League

Ander Herrera v Dele Alli

Two players who always play on the edge, Ander Herrera and Dele Alli are likely to battle for midfield supremacy on Sunday.

England international Alli will likely play in the number ten role for Spurs behind Harry Kane, as the 20-year-old bids to score his first goal since October 15.

However, he’ll come up against one of United’s best players this season in Herrera, who was once again outstanding in the midfield in the draw against Everton last weekend.

By sitting in front of the back four, the Spaniard will look to keep Alli in check by constantly chasing him down and intercepting through balls to him and from him.

There are both quite feisty on the football field, so expect the odd flare up between the two on Sunday!
