Tottenham vs Man Utd prediction (1x2)

Utd will hope to maintain their good run of form when they visit white hart lane to play spurs in the English premier league. The red devils are in a good form as it is with 4 wins in their last 5. Yea, most of them have come at the old trafford but for certain Utd always up their game against the big sides in the league and can boast of a 3-2-1 record against top 5 teams in the league with their only loss being a 3-0 loss to the gunners at the early stages of the season. For this match, a positive news from Man utd manger is that capatin Wayne rooney is closer to a return although he insists he would play an under 21 match to help regain his match fitness. Young and Jones are back and very much in contention for a start here. Spurs certainly were in top gear last 2 months but they seem to have dropped off the pace abit in recent weeks. They have the league to play for as it is as they have been knocked out of both Fa cup and Europa league and for me, they are the closest to the title incase Liecester slips up at the later stages. They are also a strong home side with a 9-5-2 record at the white hart lane tasting defeat on just 2 occassions all season. Their home form is also great as they are unbeaten in their last 5 home games wining 4 of those. For this match, manager Mauricio pochetino has only Nabil bentaleb as unavailable through injury while he has a full first team starters available for this one. With the way utd have performed against top sides in the league, they shouldn't be written off as the odds suggest. In as much as I expect utd to claim for all 3 points in an attempt to match Man city's result yesterday, I don't think they will have it all easy against spurs so I see these two forcing each other to stalemate here
