Summary:
Tottenham is in decent for going (3-0-2) in their last five games while Manchester United is (2-3-0) in that span. Manchester United have won two of the last three head to head meetings with Tottenham. The return of star striker Harry Kane has given them the goal scoring presence that they were lacking early in the season. Manchester Unted has been disappointing considering their huge splurge in the offseason on striker Zlatan Imbrahimovic and midfielder Paul Pogba. Statistically Tottenham has the advantage in all the major statistical categories. The back line of Manchester United has been shaky at times so look for Spurs to take advantage and put a few goals on the board. Tottenham leads the EPL in fewest goals allowed and I’m predicting they can shut out Manchester United.
