Judgement day for Ole and Nuno?
Ole's down for the count
After a humiliating loss to Liverpool last Sunday, impeding news of a new manager at Old Trafford has seemed imminent all week. The 5-0 battering at the hands of Klopp's men has sent United into further disarray. But, as we all know, when Ole's job is on the line, he always seems to deliver. This fixture against an out-of-form Spurs outfit is the perfect opportunity for United to get their season back on track. I can see them going for the kill in this one.
Spurs hunting down the top four
While the narrative around Tottenham recently has been overwhelmingly negative, they actually sit sixth in the league and just two points off the top four. But the manner in which they have lost their four defeats has been worrying enough to turn many Spurs fans against Nuno and breed some cause for concern amongst the Spurs faithful. The main issue has been their inability to score. Nine goals in nine games for a side that posses one of the leagues usual suspects in the golden boot running, alongside the likes of Heung-Min Son and Lucas Moura is the main issue. Spurs have been uninspiring at best, and shockingly unimaginative at worst. Nuno needs to turn things around, and quickly.
Saturday night entertainment not to be missed
With the two narrative surrounding both sides, this game looks set to be a classic. Spurs, hosting a Man United side in sheer disarray, also needing a valuable three points alongside an entertaining attacking performance will be under immense pressure to produce. On the other hand, Ole simply has to produce the good. With reports suggesting that this could be the game to save his Manchester United career, I can't imagine anything but a gung-ho attitude for a man facing a sacking right in the eye. This one's simply too volatile to call either way, meaning a goals bet is the safest and most valuable option.
Both sides are desperate for three points, with Ole needing the win to keep his job. An absolute Premier League classic is on the cards, which is why I'm going with over 2.5 goals with bet365 and let the entertainment commence!
