Man United vs Tottenham – Featured Picks

In England and Jose Mourinho would have great hypotheses to become English champion this season.

But Mourinho’s team in this match is very pragmatic and practices a boring football, see what happened against Liverpool, where the Manchester team did more than just defend.

Manchester United this season at Old Traford only knows how to win, and the goal to keep that record clean, so the Portuguese coach has asked his fans to create a fantastic atmosphere around this encounter as he believes it will be beneficial to his team.

Good news for Mourinho is Jones’ recovery and the possibility of being available also from Bailly. From outside are Ibrahimovic, Pogba, Fellaini, Carrick and Rojo.

Probable team: De Gea, Valencia, Jones, Smaling, Darmian, Matic, Herrera, Mkhitaryan, Mata, Martial and Lukaku.

Tottenham

Pochettino has been at the helm of Tottenham for 3 years, and at this time the team has been assimilating the coach’s ideas and improving from season to season, and is now a team to be taken into consideration in the title fight.

Currently the team is in 2nd place with the same points of Manchester United, and if Manchester City were clearly so, would be the main candidate to fight for the title with United, but with City to keep being form until near the end will be impossible to remove it from the 1st place.

Curiously the points lost by this team were all at home, defeat with Chelsea, and draws with Swansea and Burnley, until the defeat to the League Cup was at home, only the draw in Spain against Real Madrid goes out of standard.

Lamela, Wanyama and Harry Kane are the casualties for this match.

Probable team: Lloris, Alderweireld, Sanchez, Vertonghen, Trippier, Aurier, Winks, Alli, Eriksen, Son and Llorente.
Manchester United vs Tottenham Prognosis:

Conclusion

There are 2 teams involved in the Champions League and they are practically guaranteed qualification, so they can begin to concentrate on the championship.

United’s football has been worsening from game to game, very poor football as seen against Liverpool and even last week against Huddersfield, but this Tottenham without Harry Kane also loses a lot, as he found himself facing West Ham for the cup.

If Kane were to play the game I would risk saying that Tottenham did not lose this meeting, but so I think Mourinho with his pragmatism all up can reach the 3 points.

Even though he believes that Mourinho’s team will be able to get all 3 points, I believe in a meeting with few goals with the teams looking to defend well, and that’s where I’ll bet.
