“Chris Sutton Makes Shocking Prediction for Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United – You Won’t Believe Who He Thinks Will Win
Tottenham Hotspur will host Manchester United at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday in a Premier League clash.
Both teams have had disappointing seasons so far. Spurs are in 14th place after 24 games with 27 points, while Manchester United is just one spot above them with two more points.
The pressure is mounting on manager Ange Postecoglou following consecutive eliminations from domestic cup competitions last week. Tottenham was thrashed 4-0 by Liverpool in the Carabao Cup return leg at Anfield before being knocked out of the FA Cup by Aston Villa with a 1-0 loss at Villa Park.
Postecoglou will be hoping for a strong response from his team after these setbacks. BBC Sport pundit Chris Sutton has shared his prediction for the match, expressing doubts about the fitness of Tottenham’s returning players from injury.
“Predicting this match is like a game I used to play with my kids, poker dice, where you roll five dice and the outcome is completely random,” Sutton said to BBC Sport.
“I honestly have no idea what to expect from either team, so I might make two predictions instead of one. I can tell you this for sure: whatever I predict, the result will end up being the opposite.”
“Tottenham dominated Manchester United 3-0 at Old Trafford in September, but that result doesn’t really matter here. Spurs are getting some key players back from injury, including Timo Werner, James Maddison, and Guglielmo Vicario, but I’m unsure how match-fit they will be for this game.”
“Ange Postecoglou mentioned that his players are exhausted, which was evident in their FA Cup loss to Aston Villa, so how much energy they have left will be crucial.”
“I still have a hunch that Manchester United might edge this one, but honestly, I’m not sure what that’s based on. This is a big game for Ange too, especially after his side’s exit from both domestic cups. I’m going with United, just.”
Sutton’s comment about making a prediction based more on intuition than clear reasoning highlights the uncertainty surrounding both teams. Manchester United has been similarly unreliable, and if Tottenham takes control, it could be a challenging night for the Red Devils. Hopefully, that’s exactly what happens.
Both teams have been inconsistent this season, as reflected in their current league positions. Spurs recently ended a seven-game winless streak in the Premier League with a 2-0 victory over Brentford in early February. Facing Manchester United this weekend could provide a much-needed boost for Big Ange’s side.
Tottenham has remained unbeaten in their last five meetings with Manchester United across all competitions. They’ve already beaten the Red Devils twice this season—once away in the league and once at home in the Carabao Cup—scoring a total of seven goals. Moreover, Postecoglou has received positive injury updates with several players, including Destiny Udogie, James Maddison, Guglielmo Vicario, Brennan Johnson, and Timo Werner, returning to team training earlier this week.
A win against Manchester United is crucial for Spurs to regain momentum and climb the table quickly. While a Champions League spot seems unlikely now, a victory could propel them up to 12th place in the standings.
