Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur have both made an indifferent start in the Premier League this season with both sides sitting on seven points after five matches. The heavyweight duo do battle at Old Trafford on Sunday 29th September at 4:30pm and both will be eager to notch their third victory of the league campaign at the Theatre Of Dreams.
A dismal 1-1 draw to FC Twente in the Europa League on Thursday night has seen United’s odds ease to 13/10 with bet365, while Ange Postecoglou’s visiting Spurs are available at 15/8 with the same bookmaker. The pair played out a 2-2 draw at Old Trafford the last time they clashed, so some punters could latch on to William Hill’s 3/1 for parity after 90 minutes.
Man Utd v Tottenham Tips
Tip #1 – Dominic Solanke to score first @ 15/2 with Unibet
Big summer signing Dominic Solanke netted his first competitive Tottenham goal last week in a 3-1 win over Brentford and the former Bournemouth frontman can kick on against a United side that have struggled defensively for a long while. Nine goals in five Premier League games for Spurs emphasises how good they’ve been in attack and the 15/2 about Solanke netting first with Unibet looks a cracking bet.
Tip #2 – Correct Score 1-1 @ 8/1 with AK Bets
Both sides hold the same record in the league this year with two wins, a draw and two defeats and the two sides can share the points again here with the 8/1 for a 1-1 draw looking the most attractive. Both will be eager not to lose this game and they could well cancel each other in the closing stages of the match, so it’s wise to stick with a draw and the 8/1 with AK Bets looks the solid option.
Man Utd Performances So Far
A tough season looks on the horizon for Erik ten Hag and United’s results highlight what they are about at the moment. A lacklustre goalless draw with Crystal Palace last weekend was their first draw of the season, but defeats to Liverpool and Brighton have shown they are not going to be challenging for silverware this season.

Tottenham Performances So Far
Defeats to Newcastle and Arsenal have also shown Tottenham aren’t title contenders this season, but they have trounced both Everton and Brentford this season, so they could be potential flat track bullies. Spurs will want to gain some consistency and they have yet to do that so far this campaign.
