Manchester Utd – Tottenham : Preview & Prediction
Tottenham, after a disappointing first half of the season, seems to be on the rise in this last stretch… The current 7th of the Premier League is only 3 points away from Arsenal and a place in the Big Four, but also 2 points away from Manchester United, its opponent of the day. The stakes are high for Spurs, who have recovered with three wins in the last four games, but especially with two crushing victories at Leeds United (4-0) and Everton (5-0) on 26 February and 7 March. Harry Kane (10 goals) and Son Heung-Min (11 goals) have scored 3 and 2 goals respectively in the last two Premier League games and they are in great shape when they try to win at Old Trafford…The Theatre of Dreams brings back good memories for the visitors who crushed the Red Devils there during the last season with an unbeatable scoreline of 6 goals to 1. Antonio Conte’s team will be doubly motivated because in addition to the objective of this 4th place, there is also a revenge to take after the first leg lost by 3 goals to 0 at home. The London club will have to find a way through a Manchester defence that has been struggling this season (38 goals conceded in 28 games) and which conceded 4 goals at Manchester City last weekend. The Maguire-Lindelof or Maguire-Varane pairing has often been criticised since the start of the season, guilty of major defensive errors. Spurs should take advantage of this.
Manchester United have just taken 4 in the derby.
Tottenham have scored 12 goals in the last 4 Premier League games.
Spurs humiliated Everton 5-0 on the final day.
The Red Devils’ defence is suffering this season with 38 goals conceded after 28 games.
Tottenham won 6-1 at Old Trafford in the league last term.
Tottenham have always scored at least one goal in their last 4 visits to Old Trafford. No doubt the visitors will find the net again against United, who have managed only 7 clean-sheets in 28 games.
