⚽Manchester United vs Tottenham Hotspur
🆕English Premier League, KO: 16:30 Sep 29, 2024, Old Trafford
🍁Manchester United go head-to-head against Tottenham on Sunday. Read our Predictions and Betting Tips with Match Preview, Head-to-head stats (h2h) and Team Form Analysis.
Our prediction for this Premier League match:
Following a goalless draw with Crystal Palace, Manchester United will look to get back on course in the Premier League when they face Tottenham at Old Trafford. The Red Devils made yet another slow start to the season, with the team sitting in 11th place in the standings and they face yet another difficult task against the capital club. All Victor Lindelof, Luke Shaw, and Tyrell Malacia are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
Spurs, on the other hand, proved their worth in a 3-1 win over Brentford at the weekend. As both Tottenham and Manchester United will go for a victory in Sunday’s derby, we are tempted to place our bets on both teams to score. In their last encounter at “the Theatre of Dreams” the two sides played out a 2-2 draw. Forward Richarlison and midfielder Wilson Odobert should be the only absentees in the visiting team.
How the bookies view it: Red Devils to reign supreme
Despite winning just one of their last four Premier League matches, Manchester United are 5/4 favourites on WK777 to claim top honours at Old Trafford on Sunday.
Tottenham are 17/10 (WJPESO) outsiders to triumph on their top-flight travels for the first time this term, while an all square affair is an unfancied 14/5 (PHMACAO).

Manchester United vs Tottenham Prediction
Manchester United and Tottenham sit lock on points in the middle of the Premier League standings ahead of their head-to-head clash in Matchday No 6 on Sunday afternoon at the Old Trafford.
Both teams were in action in mid-week but it’s Tottenham who will come into the match in much higher spirits.
Spurs celebrated three wins on the trot across competitions. They have put three goals past Brentford and Qarabag each within the last seven days.
Dominic Solanke and Brennan Johnson were on target in each of the mentioned wins. The good news for head coach Ange Postecoglou is that the former Bournemouth forward seems to have settled in nicely after recovering from an early season injury.
Manchester United translated their domestic struggles into the UEFA Europa League, playing only a disappointing 1-1 stalemate to Dutch side Twente at the beginning of the campaign on Wednesday night.
The Red Devils had previously failed to break the deadlock in a goalless draw at Crystal Palace last Saturday.
Manchester United are struggling to create in the final third against stronger rivals this season. They have failed to bag more than one goal in the last two matches across competitions.
Tottenham will come into the game in incomparably higher spirits after managing three wins on the spin in all competitions. Postecoglou’s troops have bagged eight goals along the way.
Tottenham are also unbeaten in the previous three head-to-head meetings with the Red Devils. They’ve notched at least two goals in each of the mentioned ties in the process.
The main pick is Spurs to win or draw double chance at the 1.57 odds while you can also get Dominic Solanke to score anytime for the visitors at the 2.87 odds.
Players to watch: Solanke hitting his stride?
Dominic Solanke has scored in each of his last two appearances for Tottenham following his club-record move from Bournemouth over the summer. The Spurs striker is 11/5 on JILIMACAO to extend his scoring streak on Sunday.
Manchester United’s Kobbie Mainoo is even-money (1/1) on JILIPAGCOR to attempt just one shot during this game and that holds plenty of appeal given that the teenage sensation has tried his luck in each of his last two top-flight outings.
Predicted line-ups
Man United’s Mason Mount and Rasmus Hojlund both returned from injury against Twente in midweek but neither player is expected to get the nod from the off on Sunday.
Tottenham will make the trip north without injured duo Richarlison and Wilson Odebert.
Man United: Onana; Mazraoui, De Ligt, Martinez, Dalot; Ugarte, Mainoo; Diallo, Fernandes, Rashford; Zirkzee
Tottenham: Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Kulusevski, Bentancur, Maddison; Johnson, Solanke, Son
