Man United target redemption at Tottenham

Manchester United’s three-game winning streak came to an end at The City Ground last weekend as they drew 2-2 with Nottingham Forest, and another high-scoring affair could be on the cards at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The Red Devils’ last three games have produced 13 goals in total and over two goals have been a winner in eight of their last nine matches.
These nine fixtures have averaged 3.78 goals per game, and this fixture has produced plenty of goals over the years, with ten of the last 15 meetings between this pair featuring at least three goals.
Tottenham suffered their own disappointment as they were beaten by London rivals Chelsea last weekend, but Thomas Frank’s side bounced back with a 4-0 drubbing of Copenhagen in the Champions League.
Despite their lacklustre showing last weekend, over 2.5 goals has landed in five of Spurs’ last seven league games, and backing goals is the way to go on Saturday.
These sides look relatively evenly matched after Manchester United’s recent upturn, and the spoils could be shared on Saturday.
Manchester United drew 2-2 last weekend and Tottenham have drawn four of their last 11 games, two of which ended 2-2, so that’s a high-value correct score prediction.
Another high-value option is backing Casemiro to find the net, who landed us an anytime goalscorer tip in Nottingham last weekend. That was the Brazilian’s third goal in his last five matches, and he could be a threat again.
Meanwhile, Arsenal head to Sunderland in a 5.30 pm Premier League kick-off on Saturday, knowing a win would see them at least retain a six-point lead in the standings going into the November international break.
Sunderland have been this season’s surprise package,s and they are riding high in fourth spot after winning promotion. With 18 points on the board after 10 games, the Black Cats already have around half the total they will need to avoid an immediate return to the second tier.
Arsenal are clear favourites to win, and the Gunners should be expected to extend their ongoing 10-game winning streak, despite Sunderland’s impressive start.
However, the standout bet here could be backing both teams to score at what looks like a big price. The Gunners have hit 18 goals in 10 league games and have only failed to score in one game this season in any competition, a 1-0 loss at Anfield back in August. A goal for the visitors feels inevitable, and there is a case to be made for Sunderland at least getting on the scoresheet against the Premier League’s stingiest defence.
Regis Le Bris’ side are yet to draw a blank at home in any competition this season and in the league, they’ve hit nine goals in five home games, while overall they have scored in seven of their last nine across all competitions.
Arsenal managed another clean sheet in midweek at Slavia Prague – but they did allow their opponents a few chances, and their shutout was perhaps as much due to poor finishing as it was to good defending. The Gunners also have a quick turnaround here, while Sunderland have had an extra day to prepare for the visit of the league leaders.
A goal is likely to be as good as it gets for Sunderland, and their unbeaten home run should be ended by Mikel Arteta’s visitors. The hosts did manage a win at Chelsea recently but this in-form Arsenal side have scored multiple goals in four of their last five games and after hitting three at Slavia in midweek, they can match that total with a 3-1 win in the north east.
Arsenal will probably be without Viktor Gyokeres again after he sat out the win in Prague so Mike Merino is likely to fill in as a makeshift centre forward. The Spaniard scored twice in the Czech Republic and he can follow that up with another goal this weekend.
