Sunday’s Premier League Tips: Early goals expected in Spurs' clash with West Ham

17 February 2023

Manchester United and Tottenham are in action in Sunday’s Premier League double-header, and football tipster Peter Galindo has previewed both of their games and provided his best bets.

Manchester United v Leicester City

Kick-off: 2pm Sunday

There is no stopping Manchester United these days, at least domestically. Erik ten Hag’s men have lost just one (3-2 against Arsenal) of their last 10 Premier League matches, despite star midfielder Casemiro’s suspension and numerous injuries.

The Red Devils will face a Leicester City side who they have typically performed well against in recent times. United are undefeated in 12 of their last 13 home matches against The Foxes in all competitions, and also remain unbeaten at Old Trafford since their opening loss to Brighton.

Erik ten Hag: has changed the fortunes of Manchester United this season

Safe to say, then, that Man United should take home all three points in this match-up. However, there should be plenty of entertainment as there have been over 2.5 goals scored in Leicester's last three league games.

Prediction: Man United to win and Both teams to score @ 3.2

Tottenham v West Ham United

Kick-off: 4.30pm Sunday

Trying to predict Tottenham is an impossible task these days. There are inconsistencies everywhere, from winning three of their last seven to picking up as many defeats (three) as victories in their previous six home matches.

On the bright side for Spurs, centre back Cristian Romero returns following a ban and should reclaim his place in defence. Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg missed the loss at AC Milan due to suspension and is set to start, but Hugo Lloris remains sidelined and key midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur has been ruled out until next season.

West Ham are also experiencing a minor injury crisis. Defender Nayef Aguerd and midfielder Lucas Paqueta were both forced off in last Saturday’s draw with Chelsea, although the former has a small chance of being available. Maxwel Cornet, Kurt Zouma and Alphonse Areola remain injured.

West Ham’s last four games have produced under 2.5 goals and Tottenham have seen over 2.5 goals in their last three home matches against West Ham in all competitions. Given the key injuries and Spurs’ propensity to concede in the first half, there should be goals early.

Prediction: First half the highest scoring @ 3.1
