Premier League – Man Utd vs Tottenham Preview, key stats and predictions

Tottenham hopes to continue with their recent undefeated form as they face Manchester United this weekend in their 2024/2025 premier league campaign. Manchester United finished their two-game losing streak following their international break, while Tottenham recorded back-to-back losses. That puts increased pressure on the visitors in their bid to outwit the Red Devils at home.

Tottenham head into this fixture after a resounding 3-1 victory over Brentford, while Manchester United were held to a goalless draw by Crystal Palace last weekend. While it hasn’t been the smoothest Premier League start for the Lilywhites, the Spurs are hoping to record their second consecutive win this season when they visit Old Trafford this weekend. However, the Red Devils hope to bounce back on form by crashing Tottenham and rising above them in the EPL table rankings.

So, what can premier league fans expect from this intense crash between the Red Devils and the Lilywhites? Here are key stats, match preview, and betting predictions on Manchester United vs Tottenham.

Can Tottenham record their second consecutive win this season over Manchester United?

Tottenham has experienced a rocky start this season, recording seven points in their first five league games. The Lilywhites endured two losses in their last two games, before bouncing back to their winning form against Brentford last weekend. Manager Angelou Postecoglou’s side started with a 1-1 draw against the newly promoted Leicester City, before being humbled by a 4-0 home crash by Everton.

Since then, Tottenham has struggled a secure a win, before bouncing against Brentford last week. As such, the Lilywhites believe they have what it takes to take on Manchester United and secure the win, despite entering this fixture as the underdogs according to the odds given on leading sites compared at CheekyPunter. That makes Manchester United the favorite based on the odds compared on this website, although they might have a hard time winning given their recent predicaments.

Manchester United’s chances of beating Tottenham

While Manchester United rank as the favorites for this fixture, experts predict the match will end in a 1-1 draw. Erik Ten Hag would have wanted to have a great start this season after saving his job from the challenging 2023-2024 EPL campaign, but that has proven to be an uphill task for his side. The Red Devils opened their premier league campaign with a win over Fulham, but that was followed by consecutive losses against Liverpool and Brighton.

Manchester United attempted to bounce back with a 3-0 victory at Southampton but struggled to find the net in their goalless match against Crystal Palace. That has left them languishing at No. 11 behind teams like Tottenham, Fulham, Nottingham Forest, and Brighton. As such, the Red Devils hope to bounce back into the top 10 with a win this weekend in their quest to qualify for the Champions League next season. However, Erik Ten Hag believes he has all it takes to record an impressive performance against Tottenham.
