Tottenham Hotspur manager, Antonio Conte, has said he hopes Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo continues his quiet form when both sides play each other on Wednesday evening.
Ronaldo has only scored two goals in 12 appearances for the Red Devils this season.
The 37-year-old has slipped down manager Erik ten Hag's pecking order, due to Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford's good form.
Last season, Ronaldo netted a hat-trick as United defeated Spurs 3-2 at Old Trafford.
"Last season he scored a hat-trick against us," Conte told reporters.
"We're talking about an incredible player, a top player. We're talking about a player who continues to make a difference for the team in which he plays.
"I have a lot of admiration for Cristiano, for his professionalism, but I hope he will remain calm, not like last season, when he scored three goals. We lost 3-2, but we lost to him, not to United last season. I remember that very well, because we played a very good game."
