Team Analysis
Tottenham has experienced a challenging period recently, with a streak of five matches without a win. However, they broke this trend with an impressive 5-0 victory over Southampton in their last Premier League match. This performance has renewed confidence as they aim to continue their success in the cup after previously knocking out Manchester City.

Manchester United, meanwhile, has shown signs of improvement, securing comeback victories against both Viktoria Plzeň and Manchester City. The Red Devils will be motivated heading into this match, especially considering their recent form in the League Cup, where they have demonstrated strong performances.

Head-to-Head
Historically, Tottenham has had the upper hand in their encounters with Manchester United, notably winning their last meeting with a convincing 3-0 scoreline at Old Trafford. The Red Devils have struggled against Tottenham, failing to secure a win over them since 2022, which adds pressure on United as they prepare for this challenging fixture.

Prediction
Given both teams' current form and Tottenham's home advantage, the prediction leans towards a high-scoring encounter. The expectation is for both teams to contribute to the scoreline, making a bet on over three total goals an appealing option. Additionally, considering the attacking styles of both sides and their recent results, a final score of 2-2 could be a realistic outcome, reflecting the unpredictability of this cup tie.

Pick: Over 3 goals
