Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

A place in the semifinals is at stake.

After securing a stunning victory over their local rivals, Manchester United will travel to London to take on Tottenham Hotspur in the quarter-finals of the EFL Cup. The Red Devils emerged victorious against the likes of Leicester City and Barnsley to set up this mouth-watering clash against Spurs. However, this will be United’s first game in the EFL Cup under Ruben Amorim’s managerial duties.

The Portuguese manager has done a decent job with the Reds so far. In his seven matches, he has led Manchester United to four wins, two losses, and a draw. He also became the first Manchester United manager since Sir Alex Furgeson to win his first Manchester Derby.

Tottenham Hotspur on the other hand registered a 2-1 win over Manchester City in the Round of 16 stage of the competition. Spurs have been a very threatening team so far this season. Lack of consistency is the only reason they find themselves in the 10th spot in the Premier League.

Considering their home advantage, Spurs have a great opportunity to win and move to the next stage of the competition. This competition is an opportunity for both clubs to get their hands on some silverware this season and that makes this clash unmissable.

Manchester United (in all competitions): W-W-L-L-W

Players to watch out for:

James Maddison (Tottenham Hotspur)

The Englishman has been one of the most consistent players for Spurs this season. His ability to play multiple midfield positions gives tactical flexibility to Ange Postecoglou. He has registered 11 goal contributions in 16 appearances in the league. A great performance will be expected from him yet again.

Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United)

The Portuguese international is a key figure in the Ruben Amorim system. A three-man backline gives Fernandes more freedom to roam around and make forward runs without much defensive responsibility. He has registered four goals and five assists in the league so far. These numbers are only expected to go up under Ruben Amorim.
