Tottenham Hotspur are near the bottom of the table ahead of Saturday's Premier League game at Manchester United (5:30 p.m. local time). Roberto De Zerbi's team has taken just two points from five league games and was knocked out of the League Cup by Liverpool. "We are not good enough to score goals so far when we have clear chances," De Zerbi said. "We are Tottenham. United and Tottenham are still big clubs in the Premier League."
United coach Michael Carrick will be without Patrick Dorgu, who was injured on international duty with Denmark. "It looks like he will be out for probably a number of weeks," Carrick said. Benjamin Šeško is also not yet ready to play. Carlos Baleba could make his competitive debut.
United are 12th with five points. Carrick warned about the opponent: "They haven't had the results they maybe deserve."
