Manchester United host Spurs this Saturday at Old Trafford in an intriguing Premier League fixture in which they will be looking to preserve their unbeaten record so far this season but better still to claim the three points. Paddy Power Bookmakers make United a best price 8/13 odds on to win the match, while offering their visitors at an attractive 5/1, they also go 11/4 the draw.
Whilst United will not be entirely happy with their start to the season, they will be delighted that they have remained unbeaten and unfazed by the off field events of recent weeks. They sit in third place, level on points with Arsenal and Manchester City and two points clear of Spurs and on a run of three wins in a row in all competitions. Spurs meanwhile come into the game having won two and drawn one from their last three Premier League games, but with attacking midfield star, Rafael Van De Vaart scoring goals in all three.

United will once again be without Wayne Rooney, but will undoubtedly start with new Old Trafford hero, Javier ‘Chicharito’ Hernandez up front in partnership with Dimitar Berbatov. The Mexican international, who only joined the club this season has netted six times in five games as well as making significant contributions to the overall performance of the team. His two goals against Stoke City last week confirmed his form which makes him a sound bet at 9/2 to be First Goalscorer in this match.
Berbatov, in fact has not scored in the Premier League since his hat trick against Liverpool over a month ago, but he is still favourite in the First Goalscorer market for this match at 4/1 and he undoubtedly would love to score against his former club. Possibly another good goalscorer bet would be to back Nani to score during the 90 minutes. The Portuguese winger has also been in fine form with four goals so far this season and is a 15/8 chance with Paddy Power to score in this game.
Van Der Vaart in fact is top scorer for Spurs in the Premier League with four goals and he has been recorded by league statisticians as the player who has made the most efforts on goal. He appears to be able to feed off Peter Crouch extremely well, which is why manager, Harry Redknapp will play the lanky striker in this match in preference to Roman Pavlyuchenko, despite the fact that Crouch has yet to score in the league this season. Van der Vaart in fact is 8/1 to score the first goal, with Crouch just behind at 9s, but they are both 11/4 with Paddy power to score during the match at anytime.
As far as recent history between the two teams is concerned United have a huge advantage, winning seven of the last ten league matches and drawing the other three. The Red Devils achieved an emphatic double over Spurs last season winning both league fixtures 3-1 they also beat them by 2-0 in the League Cup 5th round, last December. Just to underline their supremacy, they also won this fixture two seasons ago by 5-2 and in that same season they beat Spurs on penalties to win the League Cup, which came a few weeks after they had already dumped them from the FA Cup. Based on the above therefore it is quite difficult to make a case for a Tottenham win and a 2 or 3 goal win for United looks the best prediction. paddy power offer odds of 7/1 for a 2-0 United win and go 10/1 for a repeat of last season’s scores of 3-1.
