Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United Prediction: Stalemate on the cards

Tottenham Hotspur host Manchester United in the Premier League on Saturday (12:30 GMT, TNT Sports 1) as they look to respond to their defeat here at the hands of rivals Chelsea last weekend. 

United head to the capital after seeing their three-game winning streak end with a draw at Nottingham Forest last time out. Below you will find my Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United predictions, supported by the latest team news and match odds.

Team News

Spurs continue to be without the services of James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski, Radu Dragusin (all knee), Dominic Solanke, Yves Bissouma (both ankle), Ben Davies, Kota Takai (both thigh) and Archie Gray (calf) due to injury, while Saturday’s contest will also come too soon for Lucas Bergvall who is ruled out due to concussion protocols.

Mohammed Kudus is a doubt to feature  due to a knock which saw him miss the Uefa Champions League victory over Copenhagen in midweek. So we could see Brennan Johnson operate on the right flank, as Xavi Simons and Wilson Odobert compete for the spot on the opposite side of the attack.

Premier League Odds

For Man United, their only injury concern is Lisandro Martinez, who has been sidelined since February with a serious knee injury. Although the defender has returned to training, he is unlikely to be rushed back into action.

Amorim has a decision to make a to whether to stick with Leny Yoro in his back three or recall the Red Devils' hero at Anfield, Harry Maguire. Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro are set to operate in midfield, with Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha and Benjamin Sesko lining up in attack.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United Odds

Spurs have won just one of their five home games in the top flight this season and they are a 9/5 price to come out on top here.

Man United have drawn two of their five away trips in the league and the stalemate is marketed at 13/5 (implied probability of 27.8%), They are 6/4 to collect the three points, having won three of their past four fixtures in the Premier League.

There have been goals at both ends in United's previous three outings in the league and BTTS - Yes is available at 8/15.

Match Result - Draw @ 13/5

There is no beating around the bush that Tottenham need to improve their home form. One win in five is shocking for a club who have ambitions of returning to the top four this season.

Thomas Frank is still finding his feet in his new role but he needs to make their home a fortress. The good thing for them at the moment is that they have the best away form in the division.

A 4-0 thumping of Copenhagen in midweek takes them nicely into their clash with United, who they have not faced since beating them in the Uefa Europa League final in Bilbao. The Red Devils will no doubt be out for some payback, and given Spurs' form here, and the fact United are unbeaten in four - the visitors should fancy themselves to get something here.

I'm not massively convinced by either defence and so I think the smart play on Saturday would be to cover the draw, which United have managed twice on the road already in 2025/26.

Over 3.5 Goals @ 13/8

These two clubs are among the highest-scoring teams in the division. They have netted 17 goals apiece already and so I believe that there could be plenty of goals on offer in this lunchtime kick-off.

I do think both defences are vulnerable, particularly United who have shipped 16 goals so far - the most of any team in the top half of the table.

Over 3.5 goals at 13/8 appeals to me as it has been a successful bet in two of the visitors' five away trips in the Premier League this season, including their latest at Nottingham Forest last week.

Four goals have now been scored in the Red Devils' two latest fixtures, with the other coming in the 4-2 home triumph over Brighton & Hove Albion. I can see this trend continuing when they head to the capital.
