Tottenham vs Man United: Betting Insights, Preview, and Predictions

Tottenham vs Manchester United – Premier League Showdown! Two struggling giants go head-to-head! Can Spurs beat United for the third time this season?

Arguably the two biggest underperformers of this Premier League season clash when Tottenham host Manchester United, with home boss Ange Postecoglou potentially facing another must-win scenario to keep his job. The Australian manager finds himself under further pressure after Spurs were dumped out of both the FA Cup and EFL Cup last week. Hardly are they inspired to reverse this showing with seven winless home matches in the league, their worst run since 2008.

Having had their first game-free midweek since early January, the injury-plagued squad could at least catch their breath and rest. Spurs will be gazing for only their second back-to-back league wins this season after their previous win over Brentford. Happily, the only other time they managed back-to-back wins was when they defeated Brentford and Manchester United in the reverse fixtures; Tottenham also got one over United in the EFL Cup earlier this season with a lively 4-3 victory.

Since Chelsea in 2012/13, no team has seen the Red Devils off with three separate defeats in the same season; whilst Tottenham haven’t done it since 1989/90-the last time they completed a league double over United). Amorim is safe for now, but he needs results as he tries to turn around United’s woeful season. A loss would mean Spurs would be above United in the table, widening the rifts at Old Trafford.

Players to watch

Spurs midfielder Dejan Kulusevski is one to shine in this duel, having scored in both of this year’s earlier H2H’s against United. Meanwhile, Alejandro Garnacho made a difference off the bench in United’s FA Cup win over Leicester (2-1), but the young winger has not scored in 17 matches in all competitions.

Match Facts

Spurs remain unbeaten in their last four Premier League games against Manchester United.
Tottenham have not won their last seven home league games.
Manchester United have conceded at least twice in their last four Premier League meetings with Spurs.

Hot Stat: Manchester United concede at least two goals per game for four straight Premier League H2Hs against Spurs.

Only five sides have accumulated fewer Premier League points than United under Amorim, who garnered 14 points since he took charge. Further reports suggest layoffs of an administrative kind are being expected this week at Old Trafford-another frustrating foray into reality for the historic club in 2025. However, United might find hope in their recent form on the road, having seen three consecutive wins away from home across competitions.
