Manchester United vs Tottenham Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League
by Ian John in Premier League Predictions
Old Trafford is the venue for a Premier League classic as Manchester United host Tottenham Hotspur. This is a game that is vital for both teams in regards to their hopes of challenging for a place in the top four. Will our match prediction back the Red Devils to land the win or will Tottenham earn their Spurs with another key win at the 'Theater of Dreams'?
Both teams enter this game sat next to each other in mid-table. Spurs lie tenth, United eleventh and both have seven points from their five games. Spurs have a superior goal difference of +4, compared to United who have scored and conceded five in the league this season.
The crucial factor for both these teams is how far they are dropping off the pace being set by the top six. Both are already three points behind Chelsea (fifth) and Newcastle (sixth) and are six points adrift of league leaders Manchester City. That makes this Sunday game vital for the long-term ambitions of both teams.

Manchester United - Tottenham: Form Analysis
Both Manchester United and Tottenham have identical records in the Premier League this season: won two, drawn one, and lost two. This explains their adjacent mid-table positioning after five games.
United have played twice at Old Trafford in the league. They were narrow 1-0 winners over Fulham on the opening day but were well-beaten 3-0 by Liverpool in their second home game. On the road they started with a 2-1 loss at Brighton before beating Southampton 3-0 in their best Premier League performance of the season.
Last weekend, they were held 0-0 at Crystal Palace and they then played in midweek in the Europa League, drawing 1-1 at home with Twente Enschede.
A result which added more pressure on manager Erik Ten Hag.
Similarly, Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou has also been under scrutiny after his team's less-than-overwhelming start to the league campaign.
Spurs are yet to win on the road. They drew 1-1 away to Leicester on the opening day and then went down to a 2-1 defeat to Newcastle United. At home things have been better, with a 4-0 win over Everton and last week a 3-1 win over Brentford. However, they also lost the North London derby in between those two victories, Arsenal winning 1-0 in a bad-tempered game.
They warmed up for this fixture by defeating Qarabag 3-0 in the Europa League in midweek, despite playing for almost the full 90 minutes with ten men after Radu Dragusin was sent off after five minutes.

Manchester United & Tottenham Squad Analysis
Erik Ten Hag has had some positive news on the injury front in recent weeks, with the return to first-team action of striker Rasmus Hojlund and midfielder Mason Mount. It remains to be seen if either of the two players are in contention to start the game.
Ten Hag also has another big decision to make.
Who gets the start between Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho?
Four players remain on the treatment table at Manchester United and all of them are defenders. Big summer signing Leny Yoro is out until late November but Luke Shaw, Victor Lindelof and Tyrell Malacia are all nearing the end of lengthy spells on the sidelines. However none of the trio will be fit enough to feature in this game.
Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou will be without two players for the trip to Old Trafford. Strikers Richarlison (calf) and Wilson Odobert (thigh) are both ruled out until the middle of October at the earliest.
Fortunately, the Australian can call upon the in-form Brennan Johnson. The Welsh winger has netted in all of his last three games for Tottenham, while their big money signing this summer, Dominic Solanke, has also found the net in his last two matches.
However, it will be the likes of Heung-min Son, James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski that will be the main creative influences for Spurs as they seek to take advantage of Manchester United's injury-hit defence.
