5 point preview of Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United

1. The Record against the other "Big Six" teams

Spurs accumulated only 3 points out of a possible 15 in matches against Big Six opponents

When all is said and done, talk will emerge about who gives their best when it all matters. Manchester City won 5 out of 5 in the first set of meetings with the Big Six clubs and it has clearly paved the way for their almost inevitable procession to the title.

While things could still change and City might necessarily not become the champion, it is highly unlikely unless another one of the clubs repeats something similar in the second half of the season.

Much has been said about United’s negativity when facing top opposition, and while there is some weight to that argument, they still have got a respectable 7 points out of a possible 15.

Spurs, on the other hand, had a sole victory against Liverpool and lost all the other 4 big games. Who would have a better record at the end of the game, and who would be posed with the same questions?

Prediction: With a lot of things at stake in this game, this game is expected to be free-flowing yet some cautious enough and things will be kept in check. With two of the best defensive teams in the league facing off, not many goals are expected

A 1-1 draw is what we predict and a chance for rivals to alter their gaps.
