Manchester United

vs

Tottenham

Preview

Manchester United

• Manchester United sit fourth in the 2025-2026 Premier League table with 41 points from 24 games, but Spurs have had a much more disappointing campaign sitting 14th with 29 points.
• The Red Devils have been more pragmatic and less risky in their approach, with Carrick’s compact 4-2-3-1 and discipline in defense fuelling a three-game winning run that has seen them beat Manchester City 2-0 and Fulham 3-2 at Old Trafford.

Tottenham Hotspur

• Spurs will always be a tough nut to crack as Thomas Frank’s energetic and pressing style of play has made Tottenham a big threat in transition since he took over in June 2025.
• Spurs have been consistent away from home in the Premier League, with a record of W5, D4 and L3.
• Spurs have been competitive away, going unbeaten in their last two away games with a win and a draw; they also recently earned a 2-2 draw at home against Manchester City and beat Eintracht Frankfurt 2-0 in the Champions League.
• And although their recent results haven’t been as good as the hosts’, their average of 1.67 goals scored and 1.42 goals conceded per game on the road tells you that they won’t be coming here to sit back.

• Over 2.5 goals at 1.5 looks a good option for this clash of two solid teams with different approaches to the game.
