The standout match in the Premier League this weekend will be staged at Old Trafford on Sunday. Manchester United will be looking to respond after dropping points at Crystal Palace in their previous outing, while Tottenham Hotspur will be hoping to boost their European credentials by claiming a second straight win.
But, which English side will come out on top when these heavyweights collide at the Theatre of Dreams?
Man United vs Tottenham Odds
There is a competitive feel to this fixture in the Premier League on Sunday. United are narrowly preferred in the BetXchange odds at 34/25, while a Tottenham success is priced up at 37/20. The draw could be an interesting angle for some at 41/14.
Man United vs Tottenham Head to Head
Tottenham have a fine recent record against the Red Devils, having avoided defeat in each of the last three Premier League encounters. However, their only win in their last seven against United was achieved at home at the start of last season.
This exact fixture last term ended in an entertaining 2-2 draw. United have won two of the last three meetings between the sides at Old Trafford, scoring at least twice in all matches across that period.
Man United Update
It has been a mixed start to the new season for Erik ten Hag and his Man United side this term. The Red Devils sit eleventh in the current standings after winning twice this term.
However, it could be argued that their best display came last weekend, as they dominated the play but couldn’t make the breakthrough in a 0-0 draw against Crystal Palace.
United struck the woodwork three times in that stalemate, meaning that they will need to be more ruthless on Sunday. Their chances of success could be boosted by the returns of Rasmus Hojlund, Mason Mount, and Luke Shaw.
Tottenham Update
Tottenham sit just above United in the league standings coming into this round of matches. Spurs have won twice in five outings this term, and a much-needed return to form came in their previous outing after claiming maximum points in a home match against Brentford.
Despite going a goal down inside the opening minute, Spurs struck back in fine style. Dominic Solanke opened his account for the North London side, while James Maddison also got his name on the scoresheet.
Ange Postecoglou will have a near fully fit squad to select from this weekend, with Richarlison being their only first-team star missing through injury.
Man United vs Tottenham Prediction
It could be worth noting that both United and Tottenham are in European action in midweek, with the Red Devils having an extra 24 hours to prepare for the visit of their North London rivals.
That time could be crucial in terms of recovery for ten Hag’s side. United’s record in this fixture is also hard to overlook, meaning that we will be siding with the Red Devils to come out on top in an entertaining affair at Old Trafford this weekend.
