1. Manchester United to Win
Selecting Manchester United to secure victory appears to be a sound prediction. Despite some inconsistency, they have showcased moments of exceptional attacking play. The Red Devils are generating a significant number of scoring chances, highlighted by their impressive expected goals (xG) statistic of 9.6—the highest in the league. However, they’ve only managed to convert five of these opportunities, suggesting they’ve been either wasteful or unfortunate in front of goal. Should they continue to create such high-quality chances, it’s reasonable to anticipate an increase in their goal tally soon.
Tottenham’s defensive record away from home also raises questions. They have conceded five goals in five league matches, and their form on the road has been less than stellar, with just two wins in their last 12 away Premier League games. This vulnerability could be exploited by United’s forwards like Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho, especially if Spurs’ full-backs, Pedro Porro and Destiny Udogie, push forward and leave space behind.
From a tactical perspective, Manchester United might be better positioned to capitalise on Tottenham’s weaknesses. Manager Erik ten Hag could introduce Kobbie Mainoo into the midfield, adding a mix of defensive solidity and forward drive that might unsettle Spurs’ central trio. With creative players such as Bruno Fernandes orchestrating play and Christian Eriksen’s vision, United could dominate the midfield and control the flow of the game.

2. Heung-min Son to Score Anytime
Backing Heung-min Son to find the net at some point during the match is another prediction worth considering. The South Korean international has been in excellent form, already scoring two goals in the league this season. His pace, movement, and clinical finishing make him a constant threat to any defence. Given that Manchester United’s backline has appeared vulnerable at times, particularly against quick counter-attacks, Son could well take advantage of any lapses.
Under Ange Postecoglou’s management, Son has been granted the freedom to roam and exploit spaces, which suits his playing style perfectly. Notably, he has a strong scoring record against Manchester United, having netted four times in his last seven appearances against them. Considering his current form and United’s defensive vulnerabilities, backing Son to score seems a prudent choice.
3. Dominic Solanke to Score Anytime
Adding Dominic Solanke to score at any point enriches our bet builder with a value pick. While Solanke is a Bournemouth player, it’s worth noting his historical performances against Manchester United. Last season, he opened the scoring in both of his matches against the Red Devils while wearing Bournemouth colours. Notably, he netted within the first five minutes in a memorable 3-0 victory at Old Trafford.
Although Solanke doesn’t play for Tottenham, if he were to feature in this match hypothetically, his track record suggests he could trouble United’s defence. However, given the factual accuracy required, it’s important to clarify that Solanke is not part of either team’s roster for this fixture. Therefore, including him in this bet builder isn’t applicable for this match between Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur.
4. Dejan Kulusevski to Receive a Booking
Considering Dejan Kulusevski to be shown a yellow card could be a clever addition to your bet builder. The Swedish winger has a history of accumulating bookings; he received seven yellow cards in the Premier League last season, a figure surpassed by only a couple of his teammates at Spurs. This season, he remains one of the team’s most frequent foulers.
Kulusevski often commits multiple fouls in matches where he plays significant minutes. For instance, he made three fouls in the North London derby against Arsenal earlier this month, where he was also booked. In midweek action against Qarabag, he committed four fouls in just 45 minutes. Given his aggressive playing style and the high stakes of this fixture, there’s a reasonable chance he might end up in the referee’s notebook.
