Tottenham Hotspur will play host to Manchester United at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday in a key game in the 2020-21 Premier League.
It will be an exciting fixture, as Tottenham Hotspur boss Jose Mourinho will lock horns with his former club. There have been some exchanges between Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Mourinho before the game, which only adds spice to the clash on Sunday.
In their first meeting of the season, Tottenham Hotspur thrashed Manchester United 6-1 at Old Trafford. But the two teams have had contrasting fortunes since then. While Manchester United are second in the league table, Tottenham Hotspur (sixth) are out of the top four.
Nevertheless, it should be an interesting match when Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur lock horns on Sunday. On that note, let's take a look at five players to watch out for in this game.
#1 Marcus Rashford (Manchester United)
His off-field activities may have earned him a lot of praise, but Marcus Rashford is enjoying another good season on the field as well.
A few years ago, there were doubts about Rashford's credentials as a starter for Manchester United. But the 23-year old has responded emphatically and is arguably Manchester United's most lethal attacker at the moment.
Rashford, who scored 22 goals in 44 appearances in all competitions last season, has been in fine form this campaign, despite his injury woes.
The England international has made 47 appearances in all competitions this season for Manchester United, scoring 20 goals and providing 12 assists.
#2 Son Heung-Min (Tottenham Hotspur)
One wonders what might have happened if Son Heung-min had departed Tottenham Hotspur after a poor first season at the club.
The South Korean international reportedly asked then-manager Mauricio Pochettino permission to depart the club in 2016 but decided to stay put. Nearly six seasons later, the 28-year old is one of the best attackers in the Premier League and has been linked with Real Madrid and Bayern Munich recently.
Son has developed a telepathic relationship with fellow attacker Harry Kane.
The former Bayer Leverkusen man has made 42 appearances in all competitions this season, scoring 18 goals and providing 16 assists. He has already scored against Manchester United this season, registering a brace in Spurs' 6-1 win at Old Trafford.

#3 Paul Pogba (Manchester United)
Paul Pogba's performances for Manchester United over the years have been a bit of a mixed bag. But there is no denying that on his day, the Frenchman is one of the best midfielders in the Premier League.
The £94.5 million that Manchester United paid Juventus in 2016 to bring Pogba back has meant that scrutiny on Pogba has been intense ever since his arrival at Old Trafford. The France international has enjoyed some good moments with the Red Devils, but constant transfer speculation has been disconcerting.
Pogba has not been a consistent starter this season but has performed well when called upon. The 28-year old has made 32 appearances in all competitions this season for Manchester United, scoring five goals and providing four assists.
A brilliant passer with strong technical skills, Pogba could prove to be decisive in this fixture against Tottenham Hotspur.
#4 Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United)
One of the best midfielders in the world, Bruno Fernandes, has completely transformed Manchester United's fortunes since his arrival at the club last year.
His impact at the club has been compared to that of Eric Cantona. The Portugal international has impressed with his creativity and drive from midfield, while his leadership qualities have also come to the fore.
Fernandes has made 47 appearances in all competitions for Manchester United this season, scoring 24 goals and providing 14 assists. The 26-year old is among the favourites to win the PFA Player's Player of the Year award this season.
#5 Harry Kane (Tottenham Hotspur)
One of the best strikers in the world, Harry Kane has been in sizzling form for Tottenham Hotspur this season.
Despite Kane's exploits, Jose Mourinho's men have struggled this season. If not for Kane, one wonders where Tottenham Hotspur would have been this season. He is the Premier League's top goal-scorer and assist-provider this season.
The England international has been linked with Manchester United and Manchester City in recent weeks.
Kane has made 41 appearances in all competitions this season, scoring 29 goals and providing 16 assists. Like Son, Kane scored a brace at Old Trafford in the 6-1 thrashing of United last year.
