Tottenham vs Man United Preview

Tottenham have a shot at advancing to the semi finals of the EFL Cup as they hosts Ruben Amorim's Man United at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The London side progressed to this stage after an emphatic 2-1 win over Premier League champions Man City.

Tottenham vs Man United Form

Ange Postecoglou's Tottenham side have endured an inconsistent season and have struggled to maintain winning form.

They have won just three of their last ten matches in all competitions with four losses and three draws.

Tottenham have been very poor defensively with just two clean sheets in their last ten games across all competitions.

They have conceded 2+ goals in four of their last 10 games with both teams to score featuring in seven of their last 10 games in all competitions.

Spurs have struggled at home recently, going winless in four straight home games and with both teams finding the back of the net in their last six home games in all competitions.

Fresh from their derby victory over local rivals Man City, Man United come into this fixture on a mixed run of form with three wins and two defeats in their last five games across all competitions.

The Red Devils have now won four out of their seven games under the new management of Ruben Amorim.

Five of those seven games under Amorim have seen over 2.5 goals while United have struggled defensively.

They have conceded a goal in six of their last ten games across all competitions and are yet to keep a clean sheet in six straight away games.

United have been impressive in two rounds of the EFL Cup though with two wins from two, scoring a total of 12 goals.

Tottenham vs Man United Predictions

With both teams boasting strong attacking talents but defensively vulnerable, this could be an entertaining end to end games with both teams going at each other. I'll be backing both teams to score.
