Tottenham host Manchester United tomorrow night.
Paul Merson has told SkySports he believes Tottenham will beat Manchester United tomorrow evening.
The pundit explains he believes Tottenham’s defence will be too good for United, and is calling a 2-1 victory for the Red Devils.
Spurs are looking to bounce back from a FA Cup scare against Newport County where they drew 1-1.
United are expected to start Alexis Sanchez in the Premier League for the very first time, but Merson is still not feeling a win for the Red Devils.
Merson said: “This will be a difficult game for them because I just can’t see how they will outscore Spurs.
“Jose Mourinho will go to Wembley and set his side up not to get beat. With Alexis Sanchez on board that little bit of extra quality gives them a big chance but if Tottenham can get their full strength side out they’ll be very difficult to stop.”
Tottenham are entering a crucial run of fixtures, with Liverpool and Arsenal up next in the Premier League before they face Juventus in the Champions League.
Getting these off to a good start against United is vital, but Jose Mourinho’s side will be tough to beat.
United are currently in second place and Spurs in fifth, with an eight point gap currently between the two teams.
