The match

Jose Mourinho will look to get one over his former employers Manchester United when he takes his resurgent Tottenham Hotspur to Old Trafford. United start this fixture ninth in the Premier League table with 18 points, while Tottenham are fifth with 20 points.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is facing a crunch week with matches against Tottenham and Manchester City on the anvil. The disappointing 2-2 draw at home to Aston Villa meant United have consecutive draws in the league. This also leaves them a whopping eight points behind top-four and a mountain to climb. The Red Devils have seen their home advantage wear off this season. United could win only three of their seven home league games this campaign, although they have lost just once. Concerns remain over their inability to hold leads and grind out wins. Although they have conceded only 17 goals this campaign – which is the joint-fifth best defensive record so far, United have struggled to shut sides out.

Tottenham have been resurgent under Jose Mourinho with three consecutive wins in all competitions. Although they have conceded exactly two goals in each of those matches, Mourinho would be happy to continue this run. Tottenham come into this fixture on the back of a four-match unbeaten run in the league. However, Spurs would be keen to improve their poor away record of the campaign. Tottenham have won 3-2 away from home in the league, which is their first away win after six winless matches. Interestingly, Spurs have failed to keep an away clean sheet and have conceded at least two goals in six of their seven road trips.

Key Statistics

  • Manchester United have conceded in 12 of their 14 Premier League matches this season.
  • Both teams scored in five of Manchester United’s last six Premier League matches.
  • Tottenham Hotspur have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last nine Premier League matches.
  • Both teams scored in six of Tottenham Hotspur’s seven Premier League matches.

The bet of our experts

Manchester United have been struggling hard in the recent times as their old manager Jose Mourinho comes to Old Trafford. Tottenham Hotspur have the momentum heading into this fixture. A win here will push Solskjaer closer to the exit door, which should be extra motivation for Mourinho. Backing Spurs to pick up full points won’t be a bad proposition. Regardless, we are backing goals at both sides considering the leaky defences of the two clubs.
