Current form — Tottenham v. Manchester United
The Lilywhites on a roll
Tottenham will be out to extend their fine run of results lately. Nuno Espirito Santo’s side suffered a couple of disappointments in their last 3 matches, as they were run over by Vitesse in a 1-0 defeat. West Ham also proved too hard to handle, as they won 1-0 before Spurs were able to strike back last time out in a 1-0 win against Burnley.
The Red Devils hope to stop the rot
Manchester United go into this encounter hoping to turn a page, as performances in recent matches have been pretty scrappy. It is all or nothing with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side at the moment and sadly for them it has been more “nothing” than “all”. They first went down 4-2 in an encounter with Leicester, to which they replied by beating Atalanta 3-2. Their latest encounter once again had them on the losing side when they lost 0-5 against Liverpool.
Judging by the current odds, Manchester United are the slight favorites to win this match. The bookmakers currently settle the price for a home win at 2.95 whereas a win for the visitors pays out odds of 2.45.
