Our predictions for Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United
Match Prediction: Tottenham Hotspur 1-2 Manchester United
Tottenham's up and down form could make this a tricky one. They've shown they can nick a win away from home, like against Everton and Leeds, but their home form's been dodgy lately. If they can keep it tight at the back like they did for spells against Chelsea, they might just frustrate United. But they'll need to be sharp up top to take their chances.
Manchester United have been on a decent run, bar that blip against Brentford. They've got the firepower to hurt Tottenham, especially after that 4-2 thrashing of Brighton. But that draw against Forest shows they can be caught napping. If they start strong and keep the pressure on, they could come away with the points.
Form Guide & Team Overview
Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham's recent form's been a bit of a rollercoaster. They've managed to pull off some solid away wins, but at home it's been a different story. That loss to Chelsea and the draw with Wolves show they can struggle to break down teams on their own turf. If they can find that away form at home, they might just surprise United.
