‘Lorry-load of goals’ – Paul Merson predicts exciting Spurs vs Man United score
Paul Merson has laid out his prediction for the weekend’s Premier League clash between Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur, and the pundit reckons we will see plenty of goals coming from both sides.
With the third round of the FA Cup out of the way, and both sides progressing to the next round, there has been a short break between fixtures giving Tottenham and Manchester United ample time to prepare for a huge clash in the Premier League.
Ange Postecoglou‘s Spurs side travel to Old Trafford on Sunday looking to jump into the top four with a win, but will face an Erik ten Hag side desperate to make amends for a defeat in their last Premier League outing against Nottingham Forest.
Spurs will be without a number of key players, however, with skipper Heung-min Son away on international duty along with Yves Bissouma and Pape Sarr, and James Maddison, Ben Davies, and Cristian Romero all looking set to miss out through injury.
Paul Merson predicts a draw for Man Utd vs Spurs
It will be a tough game to call, but Paul Merson gave it a go anyway, and predicted we will see a draw between Spurs and Manchester United.
He told Sportskeeda: “If Tottenham win this, they’ll leapfrog Arsenal in the table, meaning the Gunners drop out of the top four. Three weeks ago, Mikel Arteta’s side were at the top of the table, but they could be fifth when the action concludes this weekend, which is just unbelievable.
“Manchester United, on the other hand, are nine points behind Arsenal and face an uphill battle to secure a Champions League spot next season. They need to win this game to stand a chance of finishing in the top four, but they haven’t been consistent this season.
“It’s so hard to predict Manchester United but one thing is for sure – they tend to show up when their backs are up against the wall. I predict a lorry-load of goals in this one and will be shocked if it ends goalless, so I’m going for a 2-2 draw.”
Spurs Web Opinion
I have the exact same prediction as Merson for this one. I think it’ll be an entertaining game with both sides keen to go for it. One thing’s for sure, if we can get an early lead and the Old Trafford crowd turn on the Man Utd players, we could have some fun.
