Manchester United vs Tottenham Hotspur Predictions, Lineups & Betting Tips

Match Details: February 7th, 2026 | Old Trafford | Premier League | 12:30 GMT

The stage is set for a thrilling encounter between Manchester United and Tottenham at Old Trafford, with the Red Devils looking to assert their dominance over their visiting rivals. Recent form suggests that this match could go either way, with both teams having experienced mixed results against each other in their last few meetings.

Tactically, the home side will likely look to exploit Tottenham's weakness in defence, using their pacey wingers to stretch the visitors' backline. On the other hand, Tottenham will aim to catch Manchester United's defence off guard with swift counterattacks.

Past results between these two sides have been closely contested affairs, with several matches ending in stalemates or narrow wins. Their most recent Premier League meeting on November 8, 2025, ended in a draw, with both teams sharing the spoils. The same outcome occurred when they met on February 16, 2025, in the Premier League as well. In their UEFA Europa League matchup on May 21, 2025, Tottenham managed a slim victory. These encounters hint at the competitive nature of their rivalry.

Given Manchester United's home advantage and recent performances, they are tipped to edge this contest. The advice is to consider a double chance bet on Manchester United or a draw, as the match could easily go either way. Bookmaker odds reflect this uncertainty with Manchester United as slight favourites- followed by a closely priced draw- and then Tottenham as outsiders.

The predicted outcome points towards a low-scoring affair with both teams projected to score under goals each. This suggests a cautious approach from both sides- possibly leading to a tense and closely fought battle.

Historically, their head-to-head meetings have seen both sides trade wins and losses. On December 19, 2024, Tottenham won a League Cup matchup, while on September 29, 2024, they secured a Premier League win at Manchester United's expense. Earlier that year, the sides played out a draw on January 14. The -20-23 season saw Tottenham win two Premier League meetings, while Manchester United managed a draw in one of their matchups.

As the match approaches, anticipation is building. Will Manchester United's home form see them through, or can Tottenham spring a surprise at Old Trafford? The stage is set for an intriguing Premier League clash between these two English football giants.

Both sides will be looking to earn three points, United to carry on their European hopes, and Spurs to move up the table.
