Tottenham out to prove they’re the real deal at Manchester United

Tottenham Hotspur head to Manchester United on Saturday aiming to prove they are genuine challengers for the Premier League title.

The visitors are priced at 12/5 to win the game, with the draw available at the same price. United are on offer at 6/5.

Spurs head into the match on the back of a disappointing 3-2 defeat against West Ham in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday and with major doubts over the fitness of Harry Kane.

The striker hobbled off during last weekend’s victory over Liverpool and could miss out on Saturday. Erik Lamela and Victor Wanyama have also both been ruled out of the game.

Spurs haven’t won at Old Trafford since 2014 when they recorded a 2-1 success and they can be backed at 8/1 to match that feat this weekend.

Christian Eriksen was amongst their scorers that day and he’s a tempting 9/2 to get on the scoresheet again.

United have received plenty of praise for their improvement this season, but their woeful display in losing 2-1 at Huddersfield Town last weekend sparked an angry reaction from manager Jose Mourinho.

The defeat left them level on points with Spurs, and five behind table-topping Manchester City.

Mourinho should have defenders Phil Jones and Eric Bailly available on Saturday, but Ander Herrera and Marcus Rashford face late fitness tests.

Paul Pogba, Marouane Fellaini and Michael Carrick are all ruled out of the game.

United have won their last three home games against Spurs without conceding a goal and can be backed at 11/4 to win to nil on Saturday.

Both sides will be keen to take something from Saturday’s fixture, although Kane’s likely absence is a big blow to Spurs’ hopes.

United to win 1-0 can be backed at 7/1 and that looks an extremely solid wager.
