Manchester United travel to Spurs for next Premier League fixture

A dramatic game could be on the cards.

Transcript

00:00 So Michael, starting with Man United, their next Premier League game spurs away.

00:05 Now, we saw Tottenham, we sort of know they're going to be a high-scoring team this season

00:09 and probably high-leaking goals as well.

00:11 So maybe United can capitalise on that.

00:14 They started with a win against Wolves, albeit quite controversial in the end.

00:19 What are your thoughts going into this game?

00:21 Do you think Man United are clear favourites or can you see there being a really good Premier League game on the cards?

00:28 Yeah, I mean, it's an interesting one that you say that Spurs, like I said, are going to score a lot and concede a lot.

00:33 It's kind of the opposite for United a little bit, that they're keeping a lot of clean sheets.

00:38 It's certainly kind of based on the back end of last season, keeping a lot of clean sheets but not scoring a huge amount.

00:43 I think there's a concern that how difficult it was to get Marcus Rashford involved the other night against Wolves.

00:49 And I think there'll be a concern how easily they were overrun in midfield,

00:53 particularly considering that James Madison and Yves Bissouma both played so well in Spurs opening games.

00:59 So yeah, I think it'll be a difficult game for United.

01:01 I mean, look, at this stage of the season, it's very difficult to know what to expect from sides.

01:05 We haven't got a huge amount to go off, really.

01:07 Certainly haven't got much to go off in terms of Posta Koglu and his experience in England.

01:11 But yeah, I think Spurs are obviously...

01:14 There's going to be a little bit of a hangover from Harry Kane and him leaving, him departing.

01:18 And it is impossible for anyone to come in and fill those boots.

01:22 I mean, Richard Lawson will give it a good go.

01:24 I think we all know he's not at the same level, to be totally honest.

01:27 Listen, there's not many strikers in Europe who are.

01:29 So yeah, I think that'll be a couple of interesting dynamics going into the game.

01:34 I think it'll be interesting as well to see if they take the same approach of kind of pushing Emerson Royale into the middle

01:40 as they did against Brentford last week.

01:43 So yeah, that's another interesting aspect.

01:45 I think United just need to, from their end, need to put in a better performance,

01:49 need to get on the ball and dictate a little bit more.

01:52 I felt they were kind of too reactive against Wolves.

01:54 I was a bit concerned about their fitness levels in some senses as well.

01:58 United, I thought Wolves looked stronger, fitter, a bit more hungry.

02:01 So they need to address that.

02:02 They need to put that right.

02:03 So I think it'll be a tough game.

02:05 I actually think it'll be a draw.

02:06 I'm not tipping either side to win.

02:08 I just think that, you know, sometimes you go into these games and you look and think it's the type of match,

02:12 actually United might be happy enough with the point from Spurs to the same.

02:16 So yeah, that's my tentative prediction ahead of this one.
