The late Premier League Kick off on Saturday takes us to North London where Spurs host Manchester United with neither side exactly flowing with confidence. Spurs have picked up a few decent results recently but performances remain underwhelming. The situation at Old Trafford at the moment couldn’t be more toxic following their humiliating 5-0 defeat at home to Liverpool last weekend which has left both the team and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer under enormous pressure. These are two sides in theory which should be at the very least competing for a top 4 finish, however from what I have seen so far this season both sides could struggle to achieve that. The game is being streamed live on Sky Sports and with it being a massive fixture with plenty riding on it I thought I would put together another bet builder article. I have put together my three favourite bet builder tips and predictions for the game at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium on Saturday evening alongside my cheat sheet to assist you with your bet builder selections. Good Luck!
Spurs v Manchester United Bet Builder Tips
Son Heung-min to have 1+ Shots on Target v Manchester United
Huge fan of the South Korean who consistently plays well for Spurs despite the problems that clearly exist at the club. Despite the almost constant rumours surrounding the departure of Harry Kane during the summer, Son committed his future to the club and unlike many at Tottenham his performances have remained impressive for the majority of this season. Worth also noting he has 3 goals in his last 2 appearances against United and is a player who tends to relish the pressure of the big games.
Referencing the cheat sheet, you can see Son fares well in the shots market with only Harry Kane (1.39) managing more than the 1.29 that Son manages. He is also up against a United side which look incredibly fragile defensively and could of conceded far more than 5 in the humiliating defeat to Liverpool last weekend. United have actually only had one clean sheet in their last 20 matches in all competitions which gives you an indication of how vulnerable they are defensively and I fancy Son to be able to fashion plenty of shooting opportunities.

Mason Greenwood to have 1+ Shots on Target v Tottenham
United are poor at the back, no doubt but the weapons they have in attack are still quite staggering. Jurgen Klopp prior to the game last weekend spoke in glowing terms of Mason Greenwood and there is little doubt that the 20 year old is destined to be an absolute superstar. He is quick, skillful, strong off both feet and there aren’t many more accomplished finishers in English football just now. Greenwood celebrated his 20th birthday recently with 32 United strikes to his name, ranking just behind George Best (37) and Norman Whiteside (39) for goals scored as a teenager which shows what an elite prospect he is.
Cheat sheet stats are again very impressive as Greenwood averages 1.48 shots on target from the 3.58 shots he attempts. He will likely start from the right hand side and be urged to cut inside at will and release shots with his wand of a left foot. Priced at 1.36 he looks very respectable value to unleash a shot on target in this matchup.

Luke Shaw to be Booked v Tottenham
Shaw is a firm favourite of mine for a card on Bet Builders and is it any surprise given his record for cards in the past 12 months or so? He is a fantastic player but is prone to being a little rash and overly-assertive in the challenge which is something he has continued to show this season. Three bookings already this campaign to add to the 13 he picked up in all competitions last season show he is a very consistent member in the referees notebook.
He will face off against a very pacey and talented Spurs right hand side, likely consisting of Lucas Moura and Emerson Royal who as you can see from the cheat sheet are the two most fouled Spurs players. Shaw ranks second in the whole United squad for fouls committed (1.55) and joint-first for yellow cards with 3 accumulated in the Premier League so far this campaign. He looks the perfect candidate to pick up a yellow once more here.
