What a difference being healthy makes! Manchester United have a nearly fully fit squad, heading into the Saturday lunchtime fixture at Tottenham Hotspur. Lisandro Martinez is their only injury concern, and has been that only absentee in recent weeks. The result is a major uptick in form, which has seen them go undefeated in their last four league contests. United are now back on the first page of the standings, and working towards getting back into continental competition for next season.
