Two struggling giants of the English Premier League will clash on matchday six as Manchester United host Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford on Saturday. This match between the 12th-placed ‘Red Devils’ and the 20th-placed ‘Lilywhites’ could be a good chance for both teams to break their poor start to the season, but which side looks value for money to kickstart their campaign?
United have five points (W1, D2, L2) so far and are only two points above the relegation zone. Tottenham are deep in that danger zone, at the bottom of the standings with two points (D2, L3), and are one point away from the safety zone. The international break gave United a chance to regroup and refresh, as they struggle to match expectations with results on the pitch.
That’s equally true – and perhaps worse – for Spurs, who have failed to win a single game this league campaign. They are under greater pressure to get a win under their belt, as manager Roberto De Zerbi comes here with his position under pressure. Who has the edge in this encounter?

Manchester United - Tottenham: Form Analysis
United needed a late goal to draw 1-1 away from Fulham before the international break. That could so easily have been a loss, but in any case, it was a third consecutive winless fixture (D2, L1) for the Red Devils.
Old Trafford doesn’t retain the same old aura around it with United losing their last two competitive matches here – against Brighton in the EFL Cup and versus Manchester City in the Premier League.
Tottenham won five of their last eight competitive games against United.
Spurs were beaten 3-2 at home by Aston Villa before the international break, keeping them unbeaten in five competitive fixtures (D2, L3). It was also their third defeat of the league campaign.
The only positive for the visitors in that defeat was that they scored their first goals of the league campaign. This match gives a great chance for De Zerbi’s side to add more goals – especially considering United’s porous defence. Yet, it is a win that matters at this stage for both teams.

Manchester United & Tottenham Squad Analysis
United have been hit hard in the international window with Patrick Dorgu and Noussair Mazraoui returning early due to knocks. There are also concerns over Kobbie Mainoo, Benjamin Sesko, and Marcus Rashford, who withdrew from national duty due to injuries.
That could mean Matheus Cunha starting as a striker in United’s 4-2-3-1 formation. He may swap places with Bryan Mbeumo on the right wing, while all eyes will be on Carlos Baleba, who played a closed-door friendly in the break.
Mbeumo has six goals in his last six league matches against Tottenham.
Tottenham have a few injury concerns too, notably that of Pedro Porro. The defender is likely to miss out because of a hamstring problem, while the visitors are also sweating over Micky van de Ven and Jan Paul van Hecke after they were injured on international duty.
Spurs are also set to play in their usual 4-2-3-1 system, with Omar Marmoush set to start as the lone striker. James Maddison could make his first start of the season in the hole behind Marmoush, as their main creative outlet.

Our Manchester United vs Tottenham Prediction
It’s an understatement to say that both teams and managers are under stress. United and Tottenham need a win badly to get out of their recent rut, with the visitors yet to post their first victory of the league campaign. The home fans will be anxious because United haven’t dominated their opponents when playing at Old Trafford lately.
Ten of the last 13 Premier League games between United and Tottenham at Old Trafford have seen at most three goals. That could repeat here, so our Manchester United vs Tottenham prediction is under 3.5 goals.
Manchester United vs Tottenham Alternative Predictions
Draw
This is likely to be a tough and cagey encounter between both teams, and there’s no clear favourite here – although United have the better odds to win here. There could be a surprise result here, and we are backing a draw in this fixture.
Bryan Mbeumo Anytime Goalscorer
Bryan Mbeumo seems to reserve his best for Tottenham, as he scored six goals in his last six league games against Spurs. He could be United’s best bet to land a goal this weekend.
