Tottenham v Man United (1630 GMT Sky Sports Premier League)
Mauricio Pochettino and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer go head-to-head in what some have playfully billed as the most high-profile job interview of all time with both men at the thick end of the betting market to be the next permanent Manchester United boss.
For the record, I've got a feeling Pochettino may just hang around at Tottenham for another season once the new stadium finally opens, given the hard graft he's put in while they built their shiny new home down White Hart Lane.
It's also a first true test for Solskjaer's managerial skills after he was handed what everyone could agree was the softest introduction to the Old Trafford hot seat imaginable.
Will his side's new-found confidence and free-flowing brand of football be able to make a dent in Spurs' settled outfit that looked a class above the Red Devils ever since their emphatic away win earlier in the season.
A win at Wembley would have United fans in dreamland and Solskjaer would edge a step nearer the prospect of getting the job full-time, but for now they'd probably take a performance full of joyful and expressive football and going toe-to-toe with Harry Kane and company at Wembley.
From what we've seen so far, though, United's defence remains their weak point and Spurs have all the tools you'd want to be able to take advantage.
Betting guide
Tottenham 2-1 Man United (Sky Bet odds: 8/1)
Winning three in a row v United for the first time since the 1960s would be real feather in Spurs' cap. They've been hit and miss against big sides so far, being well beaten by Liverpool but then thumping Chelsea but after wins in the FA and Carabao Cup they'll be on a high for this one and if United try and take them on they should be able to punish.
Best bet: Tottenham to win at 11/10
I'm always a big advocate of keeping it simple in big games like this, and here there's no reason not to take the plunge on Spurs winning a game they really should be able to get three points out of. They are 10 points better off in the table after all and only two points behind Man City, yet they're still not being taken seriously as title contenders. That may change with a good win here.
Goals: Son Heung-min anytime scorer at 15/8
Two reasons here for this - firstly is just a plain appreciation of the South Korean as a wonderful player who's continually underrated but also continually shines for Spurs whenever he plays. It's also his last match before going off to the Asian Cup so will be keen to end on a high note.
