Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United takes place at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
Heading into Tottenham Hotspur vs. Manchester United, both football teams are looking to improve their league positions. Spurs will be eager to secure a rare home win, while United aim to continue their recent momentum under Ruben Amorim.
Recent Form
Spurs ended a seven-game winless streak in the Premier League with a 2-0 victory over Brentford, a much-needed result for Ange Postecoglou. However, their home struggles continue, with no wins in their last seven Premier League matches at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Their recent EFL Cup and FA Cup exits have also raised concerns about their consistency.
Team News and Predicted Lineups
Both teams are dealing with injuries heading into Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United. Spurs have been boosted by the return of James Maddison, Guglielmo Vicario, and Destiny Udogie, but Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero remain unavailable. Their attacking options are also limited, with Richarlison, Brennan Johnson, Timo Werner, and Dominic Solanke all ruled out. Dejan Kulusevski and Mathys Tel are expected to lead the line.
For United, Amad Diallo is out for the season, while Kobbie Mainoo, Manuel Ugarte, and Toby Collyer are all missing from midfield. Defensively, Lisandro Martinez remains sidelined, and Luke Shaw and Jonny Evans are doubtful. Casemiro and Christian Eriksen should start in midfield, supporting an attacking trio of Antony, Jadon Sancho, and Alejandro Garnacho.
Who Will Score in Spurs Vs Man Utd?
With both teams missing key defenders, goals are likely in this matchup. James Maddison will be the main attacking threat for Spurs, looking to control play and find space in United’s defensive gaps. His set-piece ability also makes him a strong candidate to get on the scoresheet.
For United, Bruno Fernandes is the player to watch. The Portuguese midfielder will be tasked with breaking down Spurs’ defence, and his ability to shoot from distance or create for others makes him a likely goal contributor.
Player45 Pick
Amorim’s side should have the edge with Tottenham’s poor home form and Manchester United’s recent improvements. United’s attack looks more balanced, and with Spurs missing key players, the visitors could take all three points.
Prediction: Manchester United to win 2-1
Players to Score: James Maddison & Bruno Fernandes
