The Blades, meanwhile, have one point from their opening four games and know their plight will not get easier anytime soon.
Not since 1991 have they won this fixture away from home.

Spurs fans know this is the type of banana skin their club have fallen foul of over the years to dampen the mood at the unlikeliest of moments, but the players will be up to put on a show in just their second home game of the season.
The Blades cannot stop conceding and that trend will surely continue in north London.
Spurs to win 2-0.
