Chris Sutton has predicted on BBC Sport that Antonio Conte’s Tottenham Hotspur will win against Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United away from home at Old Trafford in the Premier League this week, and has backed Harry Kane to score for Spurs.
Manchester United will lock horns with Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford in the Premier League on Wednesday evening.
Former Chelsea striker and BBC Sport pundit Sutton has backed Spurs to win the match 3-1.
The pundit has added that England international striker Kane will score for Tottenham against Manchester United.
Sutton believes that the £200,000-a-week (Spotrac) striker will win a penalty and score it himself against the Red Devils.
Kane won a penalty against Everton this past weekend and himself took it.
And the England international striker.
Tottenham won the Premier League match against Everton 2-0 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Chris Sutton tips Harry Kane to score for Tottenham v Manchester United
Sutton wrote: “Manchester United rode their luck against Newcastle, but I think it will be a different story against Spurs.
“If Harry Kane gets any chances, then he is in the kind of form to take them.
“At the other end, United were slightly toothless against the Magpies. They missed Christian Eriksen, who was out with illness and is still a doubt for this game, and they will need his craft to cause his former club any problems.
“Even if Eriksen plays, however, I’m going for an Antonio Conte counter-attacking win for Tottenham, with Kane kicking things off by winning another penalty and slotting this one away too.”
In good form
The 29-year-old has been in good form for Tottenham so far this season and is scoring goals regularly.
Kane has found the back of the net nine times in 10 Premier League matches.
The striker has also given one assist in those matches.
The Englishman has scored one goal and provided one assist in four UEFA Champions League matches for Tottenham so far this campaign.
