Sky Sports pundit Paul Merson tips an easy victory for the home side.

Sky Sports pundit, Paul Merson, predicts a comfortable 3-0 win for Tottenham Hotspur when they face Manchester United in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.
Chelsea may well win the Premier League by the time Spurs take the field, but this fixture holds a special significance for the north London club.
This will be Tottenham’s last ever game at White Hart Lane, and Merson is expecting a “special atmosphere” at the iconic ground on Sunday.

Spurs suffered a massive blow in the title race when they lost 1-0 away to West Ham last weekend. However, they still remain the only side in the Premier League who have not lost a single game at home this season.
Merson expects them to continue their impressive home form and seal full three points against Jose Mourinho’s side.
United, on the other hand, seem to have given up on their hopes of a top four finish this season. However, the Red Devils are looking to enter the Champions League next season by winning the Europa League this term.
Mourinho’s side has failed to score against the top six Premier League teams away from home this season, and Merson does not see them scoring against Spurs either.
“I don’t see anything but a Spurs win here. It’s the same situation as last week with Manchester United having a big game on the Thursday night, and they could get turned over here,” said Merson to Sky Sports.
“But this game is all about Tottenham for me, it’s the last game at White Hart Lane and it should be a special atmosphere.”
