Shearer predicts draw as United and Spurs struggle
Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 9 Oct, 07:37 · Archive
Alan Shearer has predicted a draw between Manchester United and Tottenham in Saturday's Old Trafford match, describing it as 'the biggest game' of the weekend's Premier League action.
Both clubs have endured disappointing starts to the season. Manchester United, managed by Michael Carrick, languish in 12th place with five points from their opening fixtures. Tottenham, under Roberto De Zerbi, sit bottom of the table with two draws and three losses, having scored only two goals so far.
United's form has dipped dramatically since Carrick's permanent appointment in summer, despite his impressive third-place finish and Champions League qualification last season. Spurs face mounting pressure after clinging to their Premier League status last season and failing to record a victory so far.
Tottenham showed some promise in a late fightback against Aston Villa before the international break, but ultimately lost. Another defeat will increase concern in north London, whilst United face a daunting run of fixtures including away trips to Atletico Madrid, Leeds and Como.
