THURSDAY
TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR v MANCHESTER UNITED – Click here to bet
Tottenham Hotspur will face Manchester United in what promises to be an exciting EFL Cup quarter-final showdown at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Thursday. Spurs come into this clash on a high, having thrashed Southampton 5-0 away at St Mary's over the weekend. It was their first win in six matches across all competitions, lifting them to 10th in the Premier League with 23 points. Manager Ange Postecoglou will be hoping to build on this momentum, especially after his side's impressive 2-1 victory over Manchester City in the previous round of the EFL Cup, and will be eager to add another Manchester scalp to their collection.
Meanwhile, Manchester United head into this one on a bit of a roller coaster. Ruben Amorim’s men have had their share of struggles this season, and they’re currently sitting 13th in the Premier League with 22 points after a tough 2-1 victory over Manchester City at the Etihad on Sunday. The win came at a crucial moment, helping to steady the ship, but consistency remains an issue for United. In the EFL Cup’s previous round, United cruised past Leicester City 5-2, showing their attacking power despite a few defensive lapses.
Head-to-Head
Spurs have had United's number in recent encounters, remaining unbeaten in their last four meetings with two wins and two draws (W2 D2). Their most recent match ended in a 3-0 victory for Spurs at Old Trafford, while both sides had to settle for a 2-2 draw when they met in London last season.
Betting
Tottenham 11/8
Draw 29/10
Manchester united 7/4
Verdict
Thursday’s match presents both teams with the opportunity to make a significant statement, as Spurs look to recover from recent struggles and United aim for silverware under Amorim in his first season as manager. Both sides have shown flashes of brilliance but struggled with consistency, making this quarter-final clash unpredictable. Spurs are slight favourites at 11/8, but with United’s pedigree and recent resurgence, this could easily go either way.
Suggested Bet: Double Chance and Both Teams to Score, Tottenham Hotspur/ Manchester United and Yes at 9/10
