The Premier League continues this weekend, with two teams who endured contrasting results during the last matchday. For today’s betting tip, we are focusing on the crucial matchup between Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford.
Manchester United suffered their biggest defeat in the Ralph Rangnick era last weekend. The Red devils were battered 4-1 at the Etihad in the Manchester derby, and things don’t get much easier with Tottenham Hotspur on the weekend. The winner will take a big step towards securing European football.
Manchester United were without Cristiano Ronaldo, Luke Shaw, Edinson Cavani, and Raphael Varane in last weekend’s derby defeat. They are all still doubtful for this weekend’s crucial matchup.
Whilst Manchester United endured a terrible result on the weekend, Tottenham Hotspur demolished Everton. Antonio Conte’s side put five goals past the Merseyside outfit, placing themselves on level points with West Ham United with two games in hand.
In the Everton game, Ryan Sessegnon had to be replaced after 45 minutes due to a muscular injury. The extent of the injury is unknown, but the former Fulham wing-back may miss this weekend’s fixture with Manchester United.
This fixture is the true definition of a European six-pointer. Manchester United currently sit two points ahead of Tottenham Hotspur ahead of this weekend’s game, but the London side could leapfrog Manchester United with a win at Old Trafford.
But it will be an uphill battle for the Lilywhites. They don’t have a good record against Manchester United, winning once in the last six meetings between the two sides, a 6-1 demolition at Old Trafford in 2020.
A lot is riding on this fixture for both sides. Manchester United need to keep their hopes of finishing in the top four alive, while Tottenham Hotspur can barge themselves into the top four picture with a win. Overall, we think it finishes a draw between both sides. This result can be backed with BetUK at 13/5.
