Mark Lawrenson believes that Tottenham Hotspur can defeat Manchester United this coming Saturday in a match that promises to be very interesting.
On Sunday afternoon, Tottenham will visit Old Trafford for a match that could significantly affect the competition for European football this season. A victory this weekend will vault Ange Postecoglou’s team into the top four.
Manchester United, on the other hand, is now in eighth place in the Premier League and needs three more points to remain in the running for first place. They would still be five points short of Spurs’ total even if they were to win.
Tottenham has won two games in a row across all competitions, and they have only suffered one defeat in their last six outings. Although United just defeated Wigan in the FA Cup, they lost to Nottingham Forest in the league.
United Manchester
According to Mark Lawrenson, Spurs can defeat United.
In an interview with Paddy Power regarding the Premier League’s forthcoming games, Mark Lawrenson supported Spurs to win all three points at Old Trafford and said both teams will have plenty of opportunities.
“Manchester United strolled past Wigan as they should have,” he stated. You can spend all day discussing Manchester United here, but you never know which team will show up.
“I’m betting on Spurs to win this one. They won’t change the way they play and they’ll be a bit open which will clearly benefit United but they create lots and lots of opportunities. Tottenham 1-2 Manchester United.
Spurs Views
Coming away from Old Trafford with three points would be a great statement of purpose for the remainder of the season, and I would love to see us win on Sunday. Personally, I think the score should be tied, but Spurs are the team that is winning.
