Manchester United vs Tottenham Hotspur: David De Gea vs Harry Kane

The top shot-stopper David De Gea will face the ‘hurricane’ of England Harry Kane in the third-game week. The two giants of the Premier League are determined to win the cup this season and will give a shoulder to shoulder competition to one another. The man with highest clean sheets last season and also the winner of Premier league Golden Glove will have a lot on his hands analysing the poor defence of United. Against him will be one of the top goal scorer of the premier league since last three seasons, who is in top form. The only player to score over 100 goals in half-a-century for Spurs will like to increase his tally of goals.

De Gea

Manchester will rely heavily on De Gea, as they always do and it will be his enigmatic saves that will keep Spurs from winning. De Gea has had clean sheets in the previous four meetings against Tottenham and would like to increase the tally to five. Manchester’s defence rely heavily on De Gea who has to be on his toes, in and out, stopping the ball to go past him. De Gea has not allowed the ‘hurricane’ to suck away his clean sheet in the last four meetings and would like to stop him one more time. The world’s best goalkeeper and his performance under crucial circumstances will decide the points table.

This is what we can call as “The battle of the kings.” Let’s see if the gloves of De Gea can deny the boots of Harry Kane his target.

Harry Kane

If Tottenham want to win this season, they’ll have to start beating their top rivals in their home. The attacking midfielder is in top contention for the Golden boot this season alongside Eden Hazard, Sergio Aguero and Mohammad Salah. The Spurs have finished in the top three for the last three seasons, and it has to be because of the charismatic performance of Harry Kane who has scored more than 25 goals each season. The biggest obstacle coming in the way of United and their win is this superman of England ‘Harry Kane.’ Probably the best striker for England and also one of the best in the premier league will be tough to tackle and keeping in mind the weak defence of United, it won’t be hard for him to score the goal with his powerful strikes.

Stop Kane, stop Spurs?
