Manchester United vs Tottenham

Manchester United face Tottenham in the Premier League on Saturday 10 October 2026 at Old Trafford in Manchester, with the visitors sitting 20th in the table without a league win.

Tottenham have scored two goals in five matches

Tottenham enter the weekend at the bottom of the Premier League table with two points from five fixtures, having scored two goals and conceded eight. In their two away league games, they have recorded one draw and one loss, failing to score a single goal. Across their last five fixtures in all competitions, Tottenham suffered defeats against Newcastle (0-2), Liverpool (1-3), and Aston Villa (2-3), alongside goalless draws with Nottingham Forest and Everton. C. Gallagher leads their scoring charts with two goals this season. Tottenham also travel without injured trio Mykhaylo Mudryk, Wilson Odobert, and Xavi Simons, while Dejan Kulusevski and Pedro Porro are listed as doubtful.

Manchester United carry ten injury concerns

Manchester United sit 12th in the standings with five points from five matches, having scored eight goals and conceded eight. Bruno Fernandes leads the side with four goals across all competitions. However, squad availability presents a major obstacle. Manuel Ugarte is confirmed out with an injury, while nine players are doubtful: Amad Diallo, Benjamin Šeško, Karl Darlow, Kobbie Mainoo, Marcus Rashford, Matthijs de Ligt, Noussair Mazraoui, Patrick Dorgu, and Tom Heaton. At Old Trafford in the Premier League, Manchester United have recorded one win and one defeat, scoring five goals and conceding three. Over their last five matches with chance data, they have averaged 1.63 expected goals created and 1.33 allowed per match.

Manchester United won 2-0 in the last meeting

Manchester United won the most recent meeting between these two sides 2-0 on 7 February 2026. Prior to that, the teams played to a 2-2 draw on 8 November 2025. Tottenham had taken the previous three encounters before that sequence, winning 1-0 on 21 May 2025, 1-0 on 16 February 2025, and 4-3 on 19 December 2024.

Our model expects a Manchester United win

Our model expects a Manchester United win with medium confidence. Tottenham's return of zero goals from two away matches in the Premier League and their position in 20th place reinforce that assessment. Manchester United, however, have won just once in their last five fixtures across all competitions—a 4-0 victory against Sabah FA on 10 September 2026—and face fitness checks across every area of their lineup.
