Manchester United vs Tottenham Stats and Facts
- Tottenham have lost their last four Premier League meetings against Manchester United, their longest losing streak since September 2001 to September 2004 (7).
- Manchester United have defeated Tottenham 39 times in Premier League play, more than any other team in the league.
- Spurs have won only three of their last 21 Premier League home meetings against Manchester United (D7 L 11), with all three victories occurring between April 2016 and January 2018.

It’s the longest streak any team has gone without a 0-0 draw at home in the competition, and the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (78 games) is one of only three Premier League venues to never have witnessed a goalless draw (also Bumden Park and Oakwell, each with 19 games).
Manchester United and Tottenham Recent Form
Here are results of the last five games played for both of these teams in all competitions.
Manchester United(DLWDW):
- 0-0 vs Brighton – Premier League
- 0-3 vs Sevilla – Europa League
- 2-0 vs Nottingham Forest – Premier League
- 2-2 vs Sevilla – Europa League
- 2-0 vs Everton – Premier League
Manchester United has seen a streak of bad form also, losing to Sevilla on aggregate in the Europa League. They managed to slip a win against Nottingham Forest who are very low down in the table and also the same score of 2-0 against Everton; also lowly placed. Overall they haven’t recently been showing good reasons for them to stay in the top four.
Tottenham Hotspur(LLWDD):
- 1-6 vs Newcastle – Premier League
- 2-3 vs Bournemouth – Premier League
- 2-1 vs Brighton – Premier League
- 1-1 vs Everton – Premier League
- 3-3 vs Southampton
Tottenham looks to have relatively poor form as of recent, the 6-1 defeat to Newcastle being the stand-out exception; this is a good comparison because Manchester United has a similar position in the Premier League as Newcastle. This places them poorly in this upcoming home match.

BTTS Market
BTTS Verdict: Yes
With United’s weakened defense and their poor form, I’m willing to hazard a guess that they’ll concede at least one goal against Tottenham. It’s highly likely that United will win against Tottenham by two goals. Tottenham have a streak of nine games without a clean sheet so it’ll be easy to score against them.
Over/Under Verdict
Manchester United has seen less than 2.5 goals in five of it’s last seven matches. They’ve not had much luck with racking up high score counts against even small clubs like Nottingham and Everton. However, considering their weak defense and Tottenham’s streak of no clean sheets I think that over 3.5 is likely in this match.
Over/Under Verdict: Over 3.5
