Man United vs Tottenham – Preview, Prediction, Team News, Head-2-Head (h2h), Correct Score Prediction, Formation, Lineups & Current Form.
Michael Carrick aims for a perfect four-from-four start as Manchester United manager this Saturday when his former side, Tottenham Hotspur, visits Old Trafford. Following marquee wins over the league’s top two, United narrowly preserved their 100% record under Carrick last weekend thanks to a dramatic Benjamin Šeśko winner against Fulham.
While United have climbed to fourth, Thomas Frank’s injury-plagued Tottenham side sits 14th and is still searching for its first league victory of the new year. However, after fighting back from 2-0 down to draw with Manchester City last time out, Spurs will look to their strong recent record at the “Theatre of Dreams” to halt Carrick’s momentum.

Man United Team News
Michael Carrick is unlikely to shuffle his lineup following the 3-2 win over Fulham. While Mason Mount is nearing a return, Matthijs de Ligt (back) remains out with no clear timeline, and Patrick Dorgu is sidelined for several months.
Despite Benjamin Šeško’s winning goal last weekend, Carrick may stick with the thriving partnership of Bruno Fernandes and Bryan Mbeumo up front. Meanwhile, Matheus Cunha is expected to retain his spot in the starting XI after filling in for the injured Dorgu.
Tottenham Hotspur Team News
Thomas Frank welcomes back Micky van de Ven and captain Cristian Romero this weekend; notably, Romero avoids disciplinary action after his recent social media outburst. The two are expected to join João Palhinha in a makeshift back three, following Kevin Danso’s new toe injury.
Djed Spence faces a fitness test on a calf injury; if he misses out, Archie Gray will continue to deputize for the sidelined Pedro Porro. Despite these defensive returns, Spurs remain ravaged by an extensive injury list, with Kudus, Maddison, Kulusevski, and Richarlison among seven key players still unavailable.
Man United vs Tottenham Correct Score Prediction
While the reverse fixture ended in a 2-2 draw, a rejuvenated Manchester United enters Saturday’s clash as the clear favorites. Although Fulham recently exposed some defensive gaps in Carrick’s system, United’s momentum contrasts sharply with a “stodgy” Tottenham side that has struggled for creative rhythm under Thomas Frank.
Despite Spurs’ resilience on the road, their massive injury list leaves Frank with a heavily depleted squad. With Old Trafford eager for revenge after last season’s struggles against the North London side, United are well-positioned to secure their first victory in this fixture since 2022.
Prediction: Man Utd 2-1 Tottenham
