Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United prediction 19.12.2024 | Carabao Cup

• Competition: EFL Cup
• Date: 19th December 2024
• Kick-off: 20:00 UTC / 21:00 CET
• Venue: Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

A mouth-watering clash awaits on Thursday night at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium when Spurs and Manchester United meet in the last eight of the English League Cup.

Tottenham Hotspur prepare for Thursday's clash with confidence following their 5:0 thrashing of Southampton in the Premier League last weekend. It was their first victory since the 4-0 win over Man City at the Etihad in November and they that result ended a five match winless run.

Manchester United meanwhile came from a goal down to beat Manchester City in the Premier League last weekend. The Red Devils have now won consecutive games after going into the break a goal down and will be keen to keep their composure even if they concede first against Spurs this week.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United Betting Tips: Draw & over 2.5 goals

Spurs have been unpredictable for the large part of this season. Should they bring the version that beat Man City almost a month ago and Southampton last weekend, Thursday’s game will be a difficult one for Manchester United.

One thing I am confident about is that there will be goals in this game. The Lilly Whites are without a clean sheet in each of their last six games at this ground and all but one of those encounters produced at least three goals.

Man United are also having issues defensively, with the Red Devils failing to keep a clean sheet in all but one of their last seven fixtures. Five of the last six ended with over 2.5 goals and I expect a similar outcome on Thursday.

• Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals
• Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United prediction: 2-2
