Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United
English Premier League, KO: 12:30 , Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
Two clubs separated only by goal difference in the Premier League table meet in North London on Saturday lunchtime as sixth-placed Tottenham hosts eighth-placed Manchester United.
Spurs suffered more misery at home and more misery against Chelsea last Saturday, as they fell to a 0-1 defeat against their West London rivals.
Whilst Thomas Frank’s men boast the best away record in the division (W4-D1-L0), only 18th-placed West Ham (3) and bottom side Wolves (1) have collected fewer points than the four they have earned at home.
However, Spurs did preserve their unbeaten start to their Champions League campaign on Tuesday night with a comfortable 4-0 victory at home to Copenhagen, leaving them in 10th position in the league phase table.
Manchester United saw their three-game winning run come to an end last Saturday, as they drew 2-2 away at Nottingham Forest on an afternoon I successfully backed The Red Devils to score at least twice.
That result means Ruben Amorim’s men have won just one of their opening five Premier League away matches this season (W1-D2-L2), leaving them in eighth position, just two points behind city-rivals Manchester City in second.
How the bookies view it: United slight favourites
Despite winning just once on their travels this term, Manchester United have been installed as slight favourites, with BOYLE Sports pricing an away success at 11/8.
Spurs are 17/10 with the same firm to end their four-match winless run at home in the Premier League, whilst the draw is 13/5.

Head to head: Seven heaven for Spurs
Tottenham are unbeaten in each of their previous seven meetings with Manchester United (W5-D2-L0), including a memorable win in the Europa League final in May.
Players to watch: More magic from Mbeumo?
Bryan Mbeumo already has five goal involvements in the Premier League for Manchester United, including a goal at Anfield and a brace at home to Brighton in recent weeks.
The ex-Bees forward has scored four times against Spurs in his career – with three of those coming in North London – and I like the 2/1 odds at BOYLE Sports on offer for the Cameroonian to score on Saturday.
Predicted line-ups:
Spurs will be without Dejan Kulusevski, James Maddison, Dominic Solanke, Yves Bissouma, Ben Davies, Radu Dragusin, Archie Gray and Koto Takai.
Despite returning to training, Lisandro Martinez is still expected to be out for Manchester United.
Tottenham Hotspur: Vicario, Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie, Bentancur, Sarr, Johnson, Simons, Odobert, Kolo Muani
Manchester United: Lammens, Yoro, De Ligt, Shaw, Amad, Casemiro, Fernandes, Dalot, Mbeumo, Cunha, Sesko
Anything else catch the eye?
Given either side’s respective home and away records, it makes sense for me to avoid the WDW markets and to stick to goals.
Manchester United’s previous nine Premier League matches have averaged an eye-catching 3.56 goals per game, with Both Teams to Score banking in seven (78%) of them, whilst six of their last eight have seen a minimum of three goals.
Five of Spurs’ last seven Premier League outings have seen a minimum of three goals, whilst four of their past six have produced goals at both ends, meaning I’m happy to take a chance on Both Teams to Score & Over 2.5 Goals, which pays 20/23 at BOYLE Sports.
