Tottenham Form and Stats
Tottenham are bottom of the Premier League after taking just two points from their opening five matches. Roberto De Zerbi’s side have drawn twice and lost three times. Their 3-2 defeat to Aston Villa before the international break extended their winless league run, although two late goals at least ended a four-game scoring drought.
Spurs have managed only two goals in five league fixtures and have yet to score away from home in the competition this season. Their recent defensive lapses have also proved costly, with De Zerbi calling for greater determination and improvements at the back.
Against Manchester United, Dominic Solanke is expected to lead the attack, with Mohammed Kudus pushing for a starting place alongside wide options Savio and Omar Marmoush.

Manchester United vs. Tottenham Prediction: Red Devils to Win
Manchester United’s recent form has been inconsistent, but they possess the attacking quality to cause problems at Old Trafford. Given both teams’ defensive records, a lively match is expected, potentially with a winner and over 2.5 goals.
Tottenham arrive desperate for their first league win, but their attack has been struggling, scoring just twice in five games. Spurs will likely try to press early, which could lead to an open game and over 0.5 goals in the first half.
Considering Spurs’ poor start and United’s home advantage, the Red Devils are favourites to take all three points. Therefore, our main prediction is a Manchester United victory in this Premier League clash.
