THE standout fixture from the latest slate of midweek fixtures from the English Premier League will take place at Old Trafford on Wednesday night as Manchester United play host to Tottenham Hotspur.
The Red Devils will be looking to return to winning ways after playing out a goalless draw at home to Newcastle United on Sunday.
Despite a few rocky patches here and there, Manchester United are showing clear signs of improvement under manager Erik ten Hag.
Having already claimed the scalps of Liverpool and Arsenal at home this season, ten Hag and his team will now look to topple another top-flight heavyweight in the shape of Tottenham.
Antonio Conte's side made it five home wins from five in the Premier League on Saturday with a 2-0 win over Everton, on an evening where my main selection copped in the capital.
Spurs' impressive start to the season means they are beginning to be considered as genuine title contenders and they will looking solidify those views with a victory on Wednesday night.
Outright Betting
Manchester United, who have not tasted defeat in each of their last three Premier League home games, enter this showdown as 11/8 (BetVictor) favourites.
Despite avoiding defeat in nine of their opening 10 Premier League games this term, Tottenham Hotspur arrive at Old Trafford as 9/5 (William Hill) outsiders while a point apiece pays 12/5 (PaddyPower).
Betting Angles
Given Spurs' strong start to the campaign I was pleasantly surprised to see the visitors chalked up as the underdogs here, and that makes the 11/10 (Betfred) price about Tottenham Draw No Bet an attractive one.
This is a selection that will see our stake returned should the match end all square while a Tottenham triumph would deliver a tasty pay-out at an enticing odds-against quote.
To date, a loss away at table-topping and arch-rivals Arsenal is the only major blot on Tottenham's Premier League record this season, so it's fair to say that Antonio Conte's team have been ticking along nicely.
It's also worth pointing out that Spurs are only one of two teams have that scored in all of their matches in the Premier League this season and they are certainly capable of carving out scoring opportunities against a Red Devils rearguard that is not exactly renowned for being robust.
Erik ten Hag's team have filed just three clean sheets across their opening nine Premier League of the season, with three of the four sides to visit the Theatre of Dreams getting on the scoreboard.
With this in mind, as well as Tottenham having a considerable ace up their sleeve in the form of free-scoring Harry Kane, the 11/10 (Betfred) on offer on Spurs in the Draw No Bet looks like an attractive betting proposition at Old Trafford on Wednesday night.
Given that the aforementioned Kane has been in storming form this season, I'll also back the Tottenham talisman to either score or assist at 10/11 with PaddyPower.
The above-mentioned bet would have paid out in eight of Tottenham's 10 Premier League games this term, so the 10/11 (PaddyPower) on Kane to strike or provide is a price that definitely represents value.
