Sunday’s clash is not going to be decisive in the Premier League title race, but Tottenham’s visit to Manchester United features two under-pressure teams. The Red Devils suffered another setback in midweek, while Tottenham’s early returns have been a bit disappointing.
This should be an entertaining game, given how Spurs see things and that has played a part in my 65/1 bet builder tip for Sunday. Four of our selections have been priced with Paddy Power offering new customers huge increased odds to back the winner this weekend.
Manchester United vs Tottenham Ultimate Bet Builder
Dominic Solanke can score at any time
Solanke scored his first Tottenham goal in the win against Brentford last weekend and he followed it up in midweek. He scored his first goal in Europe in a 3-0 win over Qarabag and the forward will look to strike in his third game on the bounce.
Solanke had an excellent record against United last term, opening the scoring in both of their encounters with Bournemouth. He scored inside five minutes in the 3-0 win at Old Trafford, so he’s a great option to score at any time on Sunday.
Matthijs de Ligt will have 1+ shots on target
Tottenham’s Achilles heel is defending set pieces and Anze Postecoglou has made no secret of his lack of interest in that side of the game. Whichever team they come up against will likely look to corners as an opportunity to punish Spurs and United have the perfect candidate in De Ligt.
The Dutchman is averaging one shot per game from set pieces this season and given how poorly Spurs have defended in those situations, De Ligt has been moved back to give Vicario the job this weekend .
Kobi Manu will be fouled 2+ times
Tottenham can be quite a physical side, especially with Rodrigo Bentancur in the middle of the park. This is something that can be taken advantage of by midfielder Kobi Manu on Sunday, with the young Englishman facing a lot of fouls in this period.
No United player has been fouled more often in the Premier League than Manu, who tends to hold the ball more at home. He has picked up two or more fouls in clashes with Fulham, Brighton and Southampton this season and was fouled once in a 12-minute cameo against Twente.
Dejan Kulusevski will be carded
Kulusevski earned seven Premier League bookings last season, only topped by Pep Sars and Yves Bissouma for Tottenham. The Swedish winger has committed the joint-most fouls for Spurs in the league this season, making him a candidate for a card.
The winger has committed multiple fouls in five of his six matches where he featured for at least 45 minutes, including three fouls against Arsenal in the north London derby earlier this month. Kulusevski was booked for that tie and committed four fouls in 45 minutes against Qarabag in midweek, so he was returned to the card for Sunday’s match.
