Tottenham vs Manchester United Preview and Team news
Tottenham Team News
In their most recent Premier League outing, Tottenham suffered a narrow away defeat to Aston Villa 1-2. Tactically, Tottenham aimed to control possession and build attacks through the midfield, utilizing James Maddison’s creativity.
However, they struggled to break down Aston Villa’s organized defense and were vulnerable on counter-attacks, which led to Villa’s goals. Defensively, Tottenham were stretched at times, particularly in wide areas.

Facing a formidable Liverpool side, Tottenham’s defensive vulnerabilities were exposed and lost 0-4. Liverpool’s high press and quick transitions overwhelmed the Spurs, leading to a comprehensive defeat. The absence of key defenders like Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven disrupted Tottenham’s build-up play and defensive organization, making it challenging to contain Liverpool’s dynamic forwards.
A more positive result for Tottenham came away against Brentford. In this match, Tottenham demonstrated improved defensive solidity while maintaining their attacking threat. They effectively utilized counter-attacks, scoring both goals in transition.
Their midfield was more disciplined, providing better protection to the defense. This game indicated potential tactical flexibility, showing they can be effective both in possession-based play and in counter-attacking situations against mid-table opponents like Brentford.

Tottenham Hotspur has been grappling with a significant injury crisis, which has heavily impacted their recent performances. However, there is a glimmer of hope as key players are on the verge of returning. Midfielder James Maddison, goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario, and left-back Destiny Udogie are expected to resume training this week and may be available for selection against Manchester United.
Despite these potential returns, Tottenham will still be without several important players. Defenders Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero remain sidelined, and forward Dominic Solanke is out with a knee injury. Richarlison also suffered a calf injury recently and is not expected to feature.
Tottenham predicted lineup vs Manchester United (4-3-3): Kinsky; Porro, Danso, Davies, Spence; Bissouma, Bentancur, Bergvall; Kulusevski, Tel, Son.
Manchester United Team News
In the FA Cup match against Leicester, United struggled in the first half, with the guests taking the lead through Bobby De Cordova-Reid.
Manchester United’s initial setup lacked creativity and penetration, leading to a subdued attacking performance.
Manager Rúben Amorim’s decision to introduce substitutes Joshua Zirkzee and Alejandro Garnacho in the second half proved pivotal. Garnacho’s dynamism on the wing provided the necessary width and directness, culminating in an assist for Zirkzee’s equalizer.

Harry Maguire’s late header secured the victory, albeit amidst controversy due to a potential offside position. This match highlighted United’s reliance on individual brilliance.
Facing Crystal Palace on February 2, Amorim deployed a 3-4-3 formation, opting to start midfielder Kobbie Mainoo as a false nine, leaving traditional strikers Rasmus Højlund and Joshua Zirkzee on the bench. This tactical experiment aimed to enhance midfield control and fluidity in attack but resulted in a lack of focal point up front.
United’s offense appeared disjointed, and they struggled to convert possession into meaningful chances. Defensively, vulnerabilities were evident, with Jean-Philippe Mateta exploiting gaps to score twice. Additionally, the injury to key defender Lisandro Martínez compounded United’s defensive woes.

Manchester United is also dealing with injury concerns. Defender Lisandro Martínez has been ruled out for the season due to a cruciate ligament injury, which occured in the match against Crystal Palace.
Luke Shaw has suffered a setback in his recovery and is not expected to be available. Mason Mount and defender Jonny Evans are also sidelined.
Manchester United predicted lineup vs Tottenham (4-3-3): Bayindir; Mazraoui, Maguire, De Ligt; Dalot, Ugarte, Mainoo, Garnacho; Amad, Højlund, Fernandes.
Tottenham vs Manchester United Prediction
- Pick: Both teams to score
- Odds: -228 (20Bet)
- Score prediction: Tottenham 2-2 Manchester United
The last meeting between these teams in the League Cup in December ended 4-3 in favor of Tottenham. In that match players from both teams made a lot of defensive mistakes and could well have scored more goals.
In their next meeting, we can expect a similar outcome because, over the past two months, the situation has not changed. Currently, both teams are in the bottom half of the Premier League standings.
It is difficult to predict whether there will be a winner in this match, but we should definitely expect both teams to score goals.
Tottenham vs Manchester United Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Over 2.5 goals
- Odds: -200 (20Bet)
Both teams have key central defenders injured, besides, Tottenham and Manchester United concede goals in almost every match.
In this match, Total Over 2.5 looks like a very promising option in my opinion.
