Bryan Mbeumo over 3.5 shots<\/strong><\/td>11\/10 (Spreadex<\/a>)<\/td>Bryan Mbeumo has played every minute of Manchester United’s five Premier League games this season and has had four or more shots in three of them. He has averaged 3.8 shots a game, hit the target in every match and scored twice, against Ipswich and at Everton. Winless Tottenham allowed 26 shots in the 3-0 defeat at Brentford, so Mbeumo should get plenty of chances at Old Trafford. He has cleared the line in three of five, and 11\/10 makes him the pick of the player markets.<\/td><\/tr>
Draw half-time \/ Manchester United full-time<\/strong><\/td>4\/1 (Spreadex<\/a>)<\/td>Squawka’s research shows that, over the last three seasons, half of Premier League games in the first gameweek back after the September international break were 0-0 at half-time (15 of 30), double the usual rate, with first-half goals dropping to 0.67 a game. United were goalless at the interval in their last three league games, and seven of their eight goals came after the break. Spurs have no first-half goal all season. That pattern points to a quiet first half and a United win, which pays 4\/1.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

How Manchester United go into the game<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Manchester United sit 12th with one win in five, drawing 1-1 at Fulham last time out after a 1-0 home defeat by Manchester City and a 2-2 draw at Everton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Michael Carrick’s side have scored eight goals, with Bruno Fernandes leading the way on three.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

How Tottenham go into the game<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tottenham are bottom of the table and still without a win, beaten 3-2 at home by Aston Villa last time out and 3-0 at Brentford.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roberto De Zerbi’s side have scored just two goals all season and look badly short of confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
