Tottenham Hotspur are bidding for a fourth straight victory over Manchester United this season when they meet in the Europa League final. But does that record count for anything in a one-off game?
Former Spurs midfielder Michael Brown believes it does but tells The Football News Show why United's record in big games counts in their favour too.
Will 'genuine match-winner' Son start Europa League final?published at 14:54 21 May

The big question for Ange Postecoglou tonight is whether he gives captain Son Heung-min a start despite his lack of fitness.
The Korean has only just returned from injury but on the biggest night of the club's season you'd imagine Postecoglou would be tempted to select Son, who is one of his genuine match-winners.
Without the creativity of James Maddison, Lucas Bergvall and Dejan Kulusevski - Son's attacking spark could be crucial for Spurs tonight if selected.
Additionally, having Richarlison to cause havoc off the bench could also influence Postecoglou's decision. It is a dilemma that will be Postecoglou's biggest selection call ahead of tonight's clash, with Dominic Solanke and Brennan Johnson expected to play in attack.
In Maddison and Bergvall's absence - Pape Matar Sarr is available after coming off against Aston Villa. Sarr will be hoping for the nod alongside Yves Bissouma and Rodrigo Bentancur in the middle of the park.
Europa League final: What's at stake for both clubs?published at 14:26 21 May

Manchester United need this trophy win to ensure they have financial stability going into the summer.
They have a lot of big plans. They want to sign a lot of players, including attacking players which are expensive to obtain.
Getting into the Champions League next season would certainly help that, and give them that financial firepower to go and execute the deals that they want to execute.
The club are also in the process of a redundancy scheme. It is a shame because people are losing their jobs - and no one at Manchester United wants that to happen.
To have this financial boost, an estimated £100m if they qualify for the Champions League, would be significant for them.
In of Tottenham, we all know about their trophy drought - 2008 was the last time they lifted a trophy. They want this so badly. The fans want this so badly.
The major issue is Ange Postecoglou's future. Whether Wednesday's outcome has any baring on his future remains to be seen. I think the direction of travel is that he will probably leave the club, regardless of the result.
The euphoria of victory could change things - but that's the jeopardy we have got here.
If Postecoglou does leave Tottenham this summer with that European trophy in his belt, that would help him get another top job in European football.
'A defining moment' and 'make or break' - Onuohapublished at 12:57 21 May

The previous head-to-heads between Manchester United and Tottenham no longer matter.
Maybe, Spurs can take some confidence in the previous results but they have not played them in a cup final before.
There is a trophy on the line this time so all of the previous history is neutralised and it becomes a one-off, showpiece, game.
Both teams in the Premier League have struggled to manage games but in Europe it has been slightly different. We will see two domestic sides meet in a European setting, but what we can expect from that, I am not actually too sure.
Neither side are in a position where you can see them controlling the game for long periods of time, so that may lead to some nervousness around making a mistake which could cost them the game.
I expect it to be quite a tight game and come down to who can have the big moments and take them.
We saw it at the weekend in the FA Cup final, Crystal Palace had that moment and Eberechi Eze took it, and then they made good blocks and had a penalty saved.
That is probably what this Europa League final is going to come down to.
You could talk yourself into backing either Tottenham or Manchester United but neither team have impressed enough for you to fully commit to knowing they will do well.
It will come down to those gritty moments and taking those chances when you get them.
This is not just an average game, it is a final and a defining moment in the season. It is not about style and formation. This is simply about winning.
You don't how someone played in the final but you do who lifted the trophy.
And given how this season has gone for both sides, it literally is make or break.

Seeing teams ending trophy droughts will give Tottenham "belief" that they can break their's when they face Manchester United in the Europa League final, says former winger Andros Townsend.
It has been 17-years since Spurs last won a trophy - the League Cup in 2008 - and 41 since they lifted European Silverware.
Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily podcast, Townsend said: "There will be a belief. I think they will be saying 'if those guys [Crystal Palace and Newcastle] can do it, then why can't we do it">
