Man United’s start to the Premier League season has been disappointing for a club of their stature. They began with a 1-0 win over Fulham but then suffered losses to Brighton and Liverpool.
Yet, it hasn’t been all negative. United achieved a 3-0 victory against Southampton and a 7-0 win over Barnsley in the EFL Cup’s third round. However, they couldn’t maintain this momentum, drawing their last two matches 0-0 and 1-1 against Crystal Palace and Twente. Currently, United is 11th in the EPL standings, and United has 24/25 EPL odds of 2.29 (4/3) to win this game.
Shaw, Yoro, Malacia, and Lindelof are unavailable for this clash.
Spurs began their EPL campaign with a 1:1 draw against Leicester City. They followed up that result with a 4:0 win against Everton. However, they suffered two consecutive losses: first against Newcastle and then against London rivals Arsenal.
However, they have turned results around, securing wins in their last three games. Tottenham beat Coventry in the EFL Cup. They then secured wins against Brentford and Qarabag in their EPL and Europa League games. Given their struggles during the early part of the season, Spurs seem to have recovered their spark.
Odobert and Richalison will miss this game due to injuries.

Spurs have been on a solid scoring run in their last three matches, netting a total of 8 goals and averaging 2.67 goals per game. In their previous two encounters with United, they scored four goals, with two in each match. Meanwhile, United continues to struggle against relatively strong opponents. Given these circumstances, we anticipate Tottenham will score over 1.5 goals in Sunday’s game. So far, Tottenham has played five Premier League games and averaged 1.8 goals per game.

Manchester United’s reliance on corner kicks has been minimal this season. Nevertheless, they have averaged 6.8 corners per game in their last five EPL matches. Their lowest corner count came against Brighton, where they managed only four. In contrast, Tottenham are currently averaging an impressive 10.6 corners per game. Their proficiency is further highlighted by their performance in three of their last five Premier League encounters, where they secured at least seven corners. At the same time, their opponents earned a minimum of six in those fixtures. Considering Tottenham’s stats, we predict the total corner count will exceed 11.5 in this upcoming match.

Spurs have the advantage heading into this clash. The North Londoners are unbeaten in their last three matches, scoring eight goals while conceding just two. In contrast, United has struggled this season, managing big wins against weaker teams. They have failed to score more than one goal against more challenging opponents. They scored one goal against Brighton but could not against Liverpool and Crystal Palace. Also, they got a single goal against Twente. Given their performances against stronger teams, we won’t encourage you to bet on Man Utd to win this game.
