Two of the Premier League's 'big six' clash on matchday two as Erik ten Hag's Manchester United travel down to London to face Tottenham.
Spurs recorded a 2-2 stalemate with Brentford in their opening match — a performance that received positive and negative reaction in equal measure. New signing James Maddison stole the show with two assists but questions will still be asked of the backline, who again conceded two easy goals.
As for United, they struggled to a 1-0 victory over Wolves at Old Trafford on Monday. In truth, the away side deserved at least a draw, but fans of the Red Devils won't care one bit as a Raphael Varane's header stole all three points.
Those results set up an intriguing clash at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium between two sides who still have a lot of work to do.

Tottenham vs Manchester United best bet
- Pick: Both teams to score
- Odds: -185 (BetMGM)
Throughout the past few seasons, this fixture has often delivered the goals. In fact, the most recent 10 Premier League meetings between these sides have seen the teams combine for 34 goals.
That gives the 'both teams to score' selection a massive chance here, especially as six of those 10 matches saw goals from each side.
One of those came at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last campaign as a thrilling 2-2 draw was played out, and with both of these sides looking dangerous going forward and a bit lethargic at the back on matchday one, goals could flow here.
Tottenham vs Manchester United prop bet
- Pick: Manchester United over 2.5 cards
- Odds: -115 (FanDuel)
What was clear from their opening victory over Wolves is that Manchester United still have a number of players susceptible to picking up obvious bookings.
Lisandro Martinez was shown a yellow card early on thanks to a rash, mistimed tackle, whilst Luke Shaw also received a card before the halftime break for a clear pull.
They didn't go on to receive another card in the second half but, in a more pressurised match like this one against Spurs, they will likely clear the 2.5 threshold — something they've done twice across their past three visits to this ground.
Tottenham vs Manchester United flier bet
- Pick: Yves Bissouma to score anytime
- Odds: +1000 (BetMGM)
I'll be honest here: there isn't much to back up the fact that we've chosen Yves Bissouma to score any time in this fixture.
It's more based on a hunch — one built off the fact that the Mali international put together a man-of-the-match display against Brentford in his side's Premier League opener. In that game, the midfielder showed his dominance in the centre of the park with a match-high 136 touches of the ball and 11 duels won.
More importantly, he also recorded a match-high seven successful dribbles, and three shots, which was also the most of any player. That's key because, given Manchester United's struggles against Wolves on Monday where their midfield looked overrun on multiple occasions, he could manufacture plenty more shooting opportunities in this clash.
