Preview: Manchester United vs Tottenham Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Premier League 2025-26
Last year’s Europa League finalists face off at Old Trafford!
Michael Carrick has Manchester United clicking again. The Red Devils now welcome a struggling Tottenham side to Old Trafford this Saturday, February 7, 2026, in the Premier League 2025-26 Matchday 25.
United currently sit fourth in the table. They have plenty of momentum after beating Manchester City, Arsenal and Fulham on a spin. On the other hand, Thomas Frank’s Spurs are stuck in 14th place.
They are desperate to turn things around after failing to win any of their last five league games. But Spurs did beat the Red Devils in the Europa League final last season and managed a 2-2 draw earlier this season in the league.
The home side clearly have the upper hand right now. United are still the only team in the top flight that haven’t lost a game in 2026. This stat shows just how much Carrick has changed things since he stepped in as interim boss. Bryan Mbeumo, who joined for £71 million in the summer, is already a fan favourite at the Theatre of Dreams.
He’s been on fire lately, scoring vital goals with plenty of help from Bruno Fernandes. Carrick does have some injury headaches, though. Patrick Dorgu is out for a while with a torn hamstring, and Matthijs de Ligt is still in the treatment room, too.
Spurs come into this one looking a bit lost. Dominic Solanke did manage to grab a 2-2 draw against Manchester City last weekend with two goals, but the defence is still a mess. Thomas Frank will be hoping to have Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero back in the lineup.
The visitors really need that boost if they are going to stop United’s fast-moving attack. Even so, history might give Tottenham a bit of confidence. They haven’t actually lost to United in their last eight meetings.
The early kickoff on Saturday is also a heavy moment for the club. It marks the closest home game to the 68th anniversary of the Munich Air Disaster. Fans can expect a lot of emotion as Old Trafford pays its respects before the whistle blows. United have the form and the talent to tighten their grip on a Champions League spot. With Tottenham backed into a corner, however, this could turn into a real scrap.

Players to watch out for:
Bryan Mbeumo (Manchester United)
United fans are looking to Mbeumo to lead the charge. He has already scored eight times in 19 matches this season. These numbers have earned him a strong average rating of 7.27.
Beyond that, his impressive 6.93 expected goals figure shows his scoring form is the real deal. It isn’t just a run of good luck. His directness of play is going to be a massive problem for the visiting defence all game long.
Xavi Simons (Tottenham Hotspur)
On the other side, Xavi Simons is the main creative spark for the visitors. He is currently influential in key passes and creativity. Simons has provided four assists and scored one goal in 18 Premier League games so far.
Match Facts:

Match Prediction:
Michael Carrick has Manchester United on a real roll, so they should have no trouble getting past a shaky Tottenham side this Saturday. Much of this confidence comes from the attacking form United found during their three straight wins against the league’s top teams.
Meanwhile, Thomas Frank’s side is struggling to keep things tight at the back. With the visitors’ defence in such poor shape, the Old Trafford crowd is likely in for a comfortable 3-1 home win.
