Why you should back Tottenham
Spurs already have beaten Manchester United this season. In manager Ange Postecoglou's first home game as manager, Spurs controlled possession of the ball and kept the Red Devils out of the goal in a 2-0 victory on Aug. 19. Spurs are looking to complete a league double over United for the first time since the 1989-90 season.
In addition, Spurs will face a Manchester United defense that has struggled recently. Over their last five Premier League matches, the Red Devils have allowed nine goals. (The club lost three of those five games and drew a fourth.) That bodes well for a Spurs side that ranks fourth in the Premier League in goals (42). See which team to pick here.
Why you should back Manchester United
Alejandro Garnacho is in great form for the Red Devils. Two matches ago against Aston Villa, the 19-year-old forward from Argentina helped rally Manchester United from a two-goal deficit by scoring a brace in a 3-2 victory. The following match Garnacho had an assist in a 2-1 loss to Nottingham Forest.
In addition, Manchester United will face a Tottenham side that will be without leading scorer and captain Heung-Min Son. The 31-year-old forward is away from the team while playing for South Korea in the AFC Asian Cup. His absence is a significant one as he is tied for third in the Premier League in goals (12).
