Manchester United host Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford in Manchester in a sixth-round Premier League clash. Neither team has made the ideal start to the season, with both sides currently sitting outside the league’s Top 10. Tottenham’s situation is even more concerning, as Spurs are currently at the bottom of the table with just two points from their opening matches.

Manchester United Preview and News
Manchester United are on a run of three consecutive Premier League games without a win. In their last match, Michael Carrick’s side travelled to London to face Fulham and came away with just a point after a 1-1 draw at Craven Cottage. United were really close to losing the game, but Matheus Cunha scored a late equaliser in the 89th minute.
The good news for Carrick is the return of summer signing Carlos Baleba. The Cameroonian midfielder looks ready to play and could feature in the upcoming match against Tottenham. His presence would strengthen United’s midfield and add some impressive physicality to the team.
If Carlos Baleba starts against Spurs, it could mean that either Kobbie Mainoo or Yoeri Tielemans drops to the bench.
Tottenham Hotspur Preview and News
Tottenham’s performance so far has been disastrous, with Spurs still without a win since the start of the season. With just two points from their opening games, Roberto De Zerbi’s team sit at the bottom of the standings. The Italian manager needs to find a quick solution to the situation or he could risk losing his job in the coming months.
Before the international break, Tottenham suffered their third defeat of the season. The Londoners hosted Aston Villa, but the game ended in a 3-2 victory for the visitors. Conor Gallagher and Paul van Hecke scored for Spurs, but their goals were not enough to prevent another defeat.
What could Roberto De Zerbi change for the upcoming match against Manchester United? One obvious option would be to include Conor Gallagher in midfield, while Mohamed Kudus, James Maddison and Lucas Bergvall remain solid alternatives as well. It is difficult to explain why Tottenham are performing so poorly given the number of quality players in their squad.
Head-to-Head Matches
When it comes to the head-to-head record, Manchester United have the advantage over Tottenham. The Red Devils have won 94 of the meetings between the two teams, compared to 54 victories for Spurs. There have also been 47 draws.
Manchester United vs Tottenham Hotspur Betting Preview
Although both teams are struggling at the moment, Manchester United look to be in a better position to win this game at Old Trafford. The home advantage should not be underestimated. Tottenham are desperate to claim their first win of the season, but they currently have too many problems to be confident about their chances.
For that reason, Manchester United to win looks like an interesting option, while Tottenham Under 1.5 Goals is another betting angle worth considering.
