Carabao Cup Prediction
A place in the semi-finals of the EFL Cup, the English League Cup, will be up for grabs on Thursday evening when Tottenham Hotspur welcome Manchester United. The match is scheduled at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, in North London, starting from 9pm GMT on Thursday 19 December 2024. Both teams come into this match having achieved maximum points in the Premier League last weekend: Spurs have scored five goals away at Southampton (0-5) and the Red Devils won the Manchester derby (1-2).
The success over the Saints allowed Tottenham to catch their breath. Ange Postecoglou was under pressure after just one win in eight matches in all competitions, compared to 3 draws and 4 defeats: at the St Mary’s Stadium Spurs won with a brace from James Maddison and goals from Son Heung-min, Dejan Kulusevski and Pape Matar Sarr.
After suffering two consecutive Premier League defeats against Arsenal and Nottingham Forest, Manchester United bounced back and under new manager Ruben Amorim and won their last two away matches with a score of 2-1 against Viktoria Plzen and city rivals Manchester City: Bruno Fernandes and Amad Diallo scored the final goals that gave the victory on the Citizens’ pitch.
Only Chelsea with 37 goals have scored more goals than Tottenham (on 36) this season, and the north Londoners are currently in 10th place in the Premier League after 16 games, although they are only five points behind fourth.
Tottenham secured a 2-1 win over Manchester City in the fourth round of the EFL Cup at the end of October and to get the better of Manchester United they will need to end their run of four home games without a win: 2 draws and 2 defeats.
Tottenham haven’t won at home in 4 games. United have not beaten Tottenham in 4 games.
Although Manchester United are in 13th place in the Premier League table, there are only six points separating them from the top four positions that qualify for access to the next Champions League.
The Red Devils have failed to beat in any of their last four meetings, Spurs most recently suffering a humiliating 3-0 home defeat in the Premier League in September under former manager Erik ten Hag.
At Tottenham, Rodrigo Bentancur will serve the sixth of a seven-match ban after the FA rejected the club’s appeal on Tuesday, while Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, Richarlison, Ben Davies, Wilson Odobert, Guglielmo Vicario and Mikey Moore all remain in action. infirmary.
Destiny Udogie is a doubt with a thigh problem suffered against Southampton. Djed Spence impressed against Saints but the right-back could be forced to play on the opposite side of defense if Udogie is not available. Yves Bissouma is back available after a one-match suspension.
Appeal rejected for Bentancur in Tottenham. Manchester United almost certainly without Mount.
As for Manchester United, there are doubts about the conditions of Mason Mount and Noussair Mazraoui who were forced off on Sunday against Manchester City due to physical problems: while Mount could remain out, Mazraoui will be assessed in the morning’s finishing session.
Luke Shaw is still knocked out, while defender Jonny Evans has missed Manchester United’s last six games with an unspecified problem and remains in doubt. Amorim must decide whether to recall Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho after both were ruled out last weekend.
Tottenham achieved an easy victory in their last match against Manchester United two and a half months ago, but given the unpredictability and inconstancy of Postecoglou’s team, it is difficult to imagine that Spurs could experience another equally dominant evening in League Cup even if the balance remains on their side thanks to the home advantage.
Manchester United have been far from in form in recent weeks, despite their last two wins, but that doesn’t mean a challenge from inside or outside can’t fire up the Red Devils’ spirits. That’s why the idea is for a combo that also leaves room for guests. Pronostico Tottenham Hotspur Manchester United: Doppia Chance 1X + Over 1.5.
