Level 1 Bet Builder Tip
🏆 Man United double chance
📈 Odds: 1.36
Man Utd look a significantly improved team this campaign, particularly defensively. They have conceded an average of just 9.8 shots per 90 minutes, ranking the sixth-lowest in the league so far.
Overall, Man Utd are perhaps unfortunate not to be on more points, given that they have the largest xG underperformance in the division so far. They have scored just five goals from 9.5 xG created in total from their five games. That xG total is the third-highest in the league, only bettered by Liverpool and Man City.
Spurs have been less impressive, and have only managed to beat Everton (who sit in the relegation zone), and Brentford, who were missing key players.
Spurs have failed to beat Man Utd in their last three attempts at Old Trafford.
🚀 Bruno Fernandes to have 2+ shots
📈 Odds: 1.20
Operating in a more advanced role this season, Bruno Fernandes has been alleviated of most of his defensive responsibilities from last season.
Because of that, he often finds himself in promising positions in the final third, looking to leverage his ball-striking abilities.
The Portuguese midfielder has accumulated 17 shots from five league games so far, the most of any Man Utd player. He also has the fourth-most shots of any player in the Premier League this campaign, tied with Mo Salah.
Bruno has registered at least two shots in five out of seven appearances in all competitions this season so far. He had two shots against Spurs at Old Trafford in the previous head-to-head, and six shots in the reverse fixture.
Additionally, he will also be on both penalties and free-kicks for this game as a bonus.
🛑 Kobbie Mainoo to commit 1+ fouls
📈 Odds: 1.33
Kobbie Mainoo has established himself as a key player under ten Hag this season, starting all five league games so far.
He was afforded some rest midweek, and only appeared off the bench for an 11-minute cameo. That suggests he could be looking to complete the full 90 in this game, barring any mitigating circumstances. The English midfielder has completed the full 90 in each of his last four league games.
He has received a booking in three of out five games so far, with at least two fouls against Fulham, Brighton, Liverpool and Southampton.
That highlights how he has seen an uptick in defensive responsibility this season, especially if he is to start alongside Christian Eriksen once again. He is set for a tough matchup against a dynamic Tottenham midfield with the likes of James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski.
🩹 Dejan Kulusevski to be fouled 1+ times
📈 Odds: 1.83
Ange Postecoglou has shifted Kulusevski into a central role this season, who is expected to start on Sunday alongside Rodrigo Bentancur and James Maddison in midfield.
Such a change has allowed the Swedish international to become more involved in play, with a greater responsibility for linking the midfield and attacking lines.
Kulusevski is a strong carrier of the ball, and has registered the third-most attempted take-ons in the Spurs squad this season. It’s worth noting though, he didn’t start the season opener against Leicester.
He draws an ideal matchup in this fixture against the aforementioned Mainoo – potentially even Casemiro or Manuel Ugarte if either are given a start.
Kulusevski has drawn a foul in three out of four league starts so far, including against Arsenal and Newcastle.

Level 2 Bet Builder Tip
⚽ Bruno Fernandes to score or assist
📈 Odds: 2.10
Bruno Fernandes managed 18 goal involvements for Man Utd last season, split ten goals and eight assists. A testament to his importance, that was the highest total in the squad, with Rasmus Hojlund second with just 12 goal involvements.
This season, he has so far failed to replicate such a return, with just one assist to his name from five games. However, Bruno is getting in more advanced positions, which makes this bet enticing against a Spurs side who tend to leak chances.
Bruno Fernandes is yet to score this season from 1.9 xG, so is due some regression in that sense.
He will be the designated penalty taker, also on free-kicks and corners against a Spurs side who have shown a vulnerability at defending set-pieces.
🎯 Dominic Solanke to have 1+ shots on target
📈 Odds: 1.40
Dominic Solanke has started four games for Spurs since completing his transfer from Bournemouth over the summer, and has slotted into a starting role as the centre forward.
He has registered a shot on target in three of his four starts, only failing against Arsenal in what was a tough matchup for him against Saliba.
The Spurs system looks to provide him with high-quality chances, meaning he does not have too many shots, but they will be high xG. As a testament to that, Solanke had three shots against Leicester on debut, with all three on target. He then had three shots on target against Brentford.
Given that he has scored in each of his last two consecutive games, Solanke should be full of confidence here.
🚀 Mathijs De Ligt to have 1+ shots
📈 Odds: 1.57
Another player to have established themselves after completing a summer transfer, is Matthijs de Ligt. The Dutchman has started the last three games for Man Utd, playing the full 90 against Crystal Palace.
He was afforded a rest midweek, which suggests he could be in line for another 90 minute run out here.
De Ligt failed to register a shot against Liverpool, but had two shots against Southampton and three against Crystal Palace – all from set-pieces.
He has looked dominant in the air so far, registering his first Premier League goal against Southampton. All five of his shots have been on target, as he appears to be the primary target from crosses.
Spurs have shown a vulnerability from set-pieces, as they lack physicality in their eleven. It is a weakness that de Ligt can exploit.
🚩 Over 5.5 Man United corners
📈 Odds: 1.80
As Spurs are extremely open and expansive under Ange Postecoglou, they often find themselves a bit exposed at the back, particularly in transition. Because of that, they can give up high-quality chances, leading to last-ditch blocks and saves.
Last season, Spurs conceded the sixth-most corners in the league. Man Utd have been much better at sustaining pressure this season, highlighted by accumulating eleven corners in their most recent league game against Crystal Palace.
Man Utd had eight corners in this fixture last season, and six corners in London. The Red Devils saw a massive uptick in corners at Old Trafford last campaign, averaging 7.9 corners on home turf, compared to just 4.0 on the road.
