Manchester United aren’t having the best of seasons and Tottenham, although did get a much-needed break under Conte, seem like a team that is bringing down the momentum of their world-class coach. From telling the press how different Spurs are as a team to saying that a top-four finish for Tottenham is more like winning the Champions League title, Antonio Conte has been honest all season.  On the other side, we have Ralf Rangnick fresh from a derby defeat and still looking to prove a lot to fans, the board and the players. As you can understand, the memes are already in the making for this fixture because where else will one get so much content? 

The Biggest Game of Matchday 29 of 38?

With a few more months remaining, the Premier League is taking shape with a two-horse title race, the race for the top four and the relegation battle. And if we had to compare the fixtures that would fit into these genres, it is fair to say that the race for the top four is the most exciting. We either have Tottenham winning and losing or Manchester United doing the same thing.  Hence, Manchester United vs Tottenham could be the biggest game of matchday 29 of 38 despite also having other games like Brighton vs Liverpool, Chelsea vs Newcastle and so on. Hence, if this fixture or any other fixture seems like a 90-minute game that you want to bet on, the services at BritainBet are always open. 

When and where is this fixture taking place?

Manchester United vs Tottenham will take place on the 12th of March at the historic yet painful grounds of Old Trafford. 

How will this game shape up to be?

With a world-class coach like Antonio Conte, it is fair to say that Tottenham will know how to beat Manchester United. But the real question is do they have what it takes to beat them? Despite Conte’s tactics showing visible signs of change, Spurs don’t seem to be the team made for someone like him.  Within a few months, Conte had a lot to say to the press and that tells you a lot about the management behind Tottenham Football Club. But how will he shape his team? From Conte’s previous stints against Manchester United, he has always relied on a three-man defensive system and has commonly employed a 3-4-2-1 formation, the same he used to face Manchester City and beat them at the Empty-had, oops, we mean Etihad.  So there’s a high possibility that he will rely on the same formation and use his defensive set-up to stop a possible lineup including the likes of Ronaldo, Jadon Sancho, Elanga, Rashford and so on.  Coming to tales from Old Trafford, it is fair to say that their season isn’t going as planned. The big homecoming of Ronaldo, the questions about whether they required him and finally, can United be in the top four under Ralf Rangnick. Anything below a top four would hurt United and nobody requires a reason for the same. While their attack has the quality that you need, it is United’s defence that is making all the headlines, beginning with Harry Maguire. The club captain has recently been blamed for poor performances, most notably against City at the Manchester Derby.  Letting the ball slide through his legs and off to a goal is not what you would expect from a defender, let alone a club captain. While Tottenham won’t provide the same attacking quality as City, they do boast of the likes of Harry Kane, Son Heung Min and more, who are capable of starting an attack when nobody expects them to. Don’t believe us? Go ahead and watch the highlights of the game between Manchester City and Tottenham.  With all of this boiling, Manchester United’s clash against Tottenham seems like a must-win because a loss at Old Trafford against one of their fiercest rivals is the last thing that the crowd at Trafford, including Sir Alex Ferguson, would want to see.  Since fierce and intense rivalries have always brought out exciting games, we don’t expect this to be any different and it would also call for a different experience when you consider football betting for the same.

Manchester United vs Tottenham: Head-to-Head

The Premier League has witnessed 59 games between these clubs and it is fair to say they have all been exciting. Only 12 of these have ended as draws and that clearly talks about the rest and how they have all shaped up to be. So let’s look at the table and take a look at all of United’s games against Tottenham.

While the head-to-head stats give you an idea of who dominates these clashes, they miss out on certain moments that truly scripted football. So let’s go check them out.
