Tottenham v Man United

Tottenham hosts Manchester United this weekend in a crucial clash where a win could see them leapfrog their opponents in the table. Both teams have endured underwhelming seasons, but with plenty of football still to play, victory here for either side could provide the spark needed to build some much-needed momentum.

⭐ Tottenham v Man United Best Bet

Despite all of their inconsistencies this season, Tottenham have remained a potent attacking force. Spurs have averaged 2 goals per game in the Premier League—trailing only Arsenal and Liverpool in total goals scored. Their home attacking form is even more impressive, with an average of 2.25 goals per game at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Meanwhile, Manchester United’s defensive struggles have been evident all season. They allow an average of 4.5 shots on target per game, conceding 1.42 goals per match—a vulnerability that Tottenham’s attack is well-equipped to exploit. Given these trends, Spurs finding the net at least twice on Sunday looks like a strong bet.

🔍 Tottenham v Man United Players to Watch

⚪ Dejan Kulusewski

Dejan Kulusevski has been one of Tottenham’s most consistent performers this season, standing out even as his role has shifted into a more central midfield position. Despite this tactical change, his attacking influence remains significant.

Kulusevski ranks fourth among Spurs players for shots taken, averaging 1.6 per game, with 0.65 shots on target per 90 minutes. He has contributed six goals and four assists this season, proving his ability to impact games in the final third. Given Tottenham’s stronger attacking displays at home and Manchester United’s defensive struggles—conceding a high volume of shots—Kulusevski’s chances of hitting the target look promising in this matchup.

🔴 Harry Maguire

Harry Maguire has picked up 7 yellow cards this season—only one player in this match has more. He’s averaging 1.08 fouls per 90 minutes and has a habit of getting frustrated with refs. With the stricter rules on dissent, that’s led to him getting booked more often.

This game is expected to be a tense battle, with emotions running high and plenty of defending for Maguire. Don’t be surprised if he ends up in the ref’s book again.

💻 Tottenham v Man United Form and Tactics

Tottenham have had a very tough season. They are currently in 14th in the league after their worst start to a season in memory. They have a win percentage of just 33 and have lost over half their games. In attack they have been excellent with the third best record in the league and Ange’s use of inverted fullbacks to create overloads high up the pitch has worked excellently in this respect. However, defensive issues have plagued them and completely derailed their season. Some of this can be put down to injuries as Spurs have been very unlucky with losses in this area, though their lack of a holding midfielder in their formation has also been blamed for some of their troubles with this often leaving the team exposed. 

On the other side, Manchester United have also struggled with consistency this season, finding it difficult to build momentum in the League. They sit in a disappointing 13th place, having suffered 11 losses so far. Manager Rúben Amorim has been stubborn in his approach and largely stuck to his preferred 3-4-3 or 3-4-2-1 formations, showing little interest in adapting his tactics. The system places heavy responsibility on the wide players, but a lack of quality in those positions has meant the team has struggled to play out from the back. Additionally, Amorim’s frequent rotation between players seems to have disrupted a number of player's rhythms, preventing them from being able to find consistent form.
