Mark Lawrenson predicts the score for Man United vs Tottenham
Mark Lawrenson has offered his prediction for Manchester United vs Tottenham, and the pundit believes that one particular result is ‘written all over’ the game.
A major test for Spurs
Tottenham will be looking for their first away win of the season when they travel to Old Trafford this Sunday, having picked up just one point from their two trips to Newcastle and Leicester City so far.
Ange Postecoglou’s men will feel they deserved much more from those two games, having dominated proceedings for large parts. They will be expected to have a lot of the ball once again against the Red Devils.
Man United have not been convincing at all this season and they are under pressure to pick up the points to bring the feel-good factor back to the club.
Lawrenson offers confident prediction
Lawrenson pointed out that despite the struggles of Erik Ten Hag’s men this season, they showed some promising signs against Crystal Palace and deserved to get all three points in the game.
The pundit believes that the clash on Sunday has a draw written all over it, predicting that the two teams will share the points.
He told Paddy Power: “Manchester United should have won at Crystal Palace, they peppered the bar and the post. Tottenham had to come from behind to beat Bournemouth which showed a bit of character at least. This has a draw written all over it.”
Prediction: Manchester United 1-1 Tottenham.
Spurs cannot take United lightly
While United have not looked convincing either defensively or going forward this season, they have dangerous players on their side who can hurt Spurs.
With Tottenham likely to dominate the ball, United could be quite dangerous on the counter-attack, which is why the away side will have to be switched on for 90 minutes.
Postecoglou will also be hoping that his attacking players are not as wasteful in front of goal as they have been on a few occasions this season.
