Tottenham-Manchester United is a match valid for the League Cup quarterfinals and is played on Thursday at 9 p.m.: odds and prediction.
The most anticipated quarterfinal is undoubtedly the one between Tottenham and Manchester United, both in the hunt for a pass to the semifinals of a competition that could give meaning to the season of the two teams, respectively tenth and thirteenth in the standings. Much will depend, as is often the case in the Carabao Cup, on the formation choices (and turnover) of the two coaches, but the Red Devils, fresh from their victory in the Manchester derby with City, are certainly coming into the fixture better.
A heart-stopping success that literally drove United fans crazy and further drowned Pep Guardiola’s men, unable to come out of a very black period. Trailing by one goal until 2′ from the end, the lineup led by former Sporting coach Ruben Amorim turned everything around within minutes thanks to a penalty converted by captain Bruno Fernandes and Diallo’s decisive goal. Second win in a row for a Manchester United side eager to climb back up the standings – in the end seventh place is only two lengths away – and put behind them an extremely disappointing first part of the season, which forced the club to change coach and shell out the clause money to free Amorim, until November on the Portuguese club’s bench.
In September it was Spurs domination
Spurs, on the other hand, broke a long fast of victories last Sunday by scrambling 5-0 against bottom-of-the-table Southampton in a one-sided game that was addressed from the first minutes.
Ange Postecoglou’s team, like United, has not shone so far in terms of continuity, but if on the day they have shown that they can beat or at least challenge anyone. Tottenham and Manchester United have faced each other before this season: last September at Old Trafford it ended 3-0 to the Londoners, although the match was heavily affected by Bruno Fernandes’ sending off late in the first half. Postecoglou in the League Cup, in addition to the injured Vicario, Romero, Richarlison and Davies, will have to do without the disqualified Bissouma. Amorim will also rotate several men: the only one unavailable at United is Shaw.

The Prediction
Three-way match between two strong but very uneven teams. In the case of Manchester United, then, there is the unknown of the new coach, who still needs time (and matches) to convey his dictates of the game, despite some changes having already been glimpsed. Our advice is on goals, since in the last four previous matches the number of total goals has always been more than two.
