Premier League Betting Tip: Spurs to beat Man Utd

Manchester Utd’s trip to White Hart Lane on Sunday could be a pivotal moment in this season’s title race. Spurs will be desperate to stay in the hunt for top spot and realistically only a win will suffice and that could be worth a punt at 2/1 with Victor Chandler.

It’s no secret that Tottenham are a transformed side under Redknapp and their extraordinary rate of improvement shows no sign of abating. This season has seen them cruise through the group stages of the Champions’ League at the first attempt with a notably comfortable home win against Inter. Perhaps even more impressive has been their ability to maintain their place at the higher echelons of the league table despite such distractions.

The 3-2 victory at Arsenal in November, having been two goals down at half time, had the look of a defining moment for this stylish Spurs team. They are no longer intimidated by the other big boys. The long running hoodoos against Chelsea and Arsenal have been laid to rest and Man Utd are next on the list.

League leaders and unbeaten, United do, admittedly, look like a different proposition but the results only tell half the story. The fact is that they have struggled on their travels all season having only won twice in nine attempts. With away games still to come at Spurs, Arsenal and Chelsea most of their toughest assignments are still to come. Some might even argue that their place at the summit is flattering - a result of kinder fixtures up to this point and a surprising number of slip-ups by rivals.

On their day Spurs are more than a match for this ageing United side and you will rarely be offered better odds for a decent team playing at home. Back Spurs to beat Man Utd at 2/1 with Victor Chandler.
