Tottenham vs. Manchester United Picks, Parlay
The primary pick for this matchup centers on Manchester United's new identity under interim manager Michael Carrick. The team has secured three consecutive victories, a run that includes impressive wins over Manchester City and Arsenal.
During this stretch, United has scored eight goals, a testament to their renewed offensive confidence. This firepower should be enough to overcome Tottenham at home.
However, a clean sheet for the Red Devils seems unlikely. They have managed just three shutouts all season, and even in their recent 3-2 victory over Fulham, they gave up a two-goal lead before a late winner secured the points. This defensive shakiness opens the door for the opposition.
Tottenham has the offensive capability to exploit these weaknesses. Spurs have scored in all but two of their Premier League away games this season.
While they have performed better defensively on the road, with five clean sheets in 12 matches, they face a United attack that ranks third in the league for expected goals (43.1 xG) and goals scored.
The combination of United’s high-powered offense and porous defense makes this Tottenham vs Manchester United pick an attractive proposition.

Tottenham vs. Manchester United Betting Analysis
Three straight wins under Michael Carrick have dramatically altered the outlook for Manchester United’s season, reigniting their ambition for a Champions League spot.
The tactical shift to a consistent back-four formation has unlocked an expansive and dangerous attack. United now averages 16.04 shots per game, the highest in the division, which signals a clear intent to dominate possession and create opportunities.
In stark contrast, Tottenham appears to be a team in danger of a relegation fight. Spurs are just nine points clear of the drop zone and have not won in their last five league contests.
Manager Thomas Frank has faced criticism for a pragmatic approach that has stifled his team’s offense. Tottenham averages only 11.04 shots per game, well below the league average, which could put them at a severe disadvantage against a high-volume shooting team like United.
The head-to-head history, however, tells a different story and adds a layer of caution. Tottenham is undefeated against Manchester United in their last eight meetings, with five wins and three draws.The last time United beat Spurs was in October 2022.
Earlier this season, the two sides played to a 2-2 draw. This historical dominance for Spurs suggests they will not be an easy out and supports the idea that they can score in this matchup, even if they ultimately fall short of a victory against the newly confident Red Devils.
