‘I wouldn’t be surprised’: Ray Parlour shares his prediction for Tottenham vs Manchester United tonight

Ray Parlour has made his prediction ahead of Tottenham Hotspur’s trip to Manchester United.

Parlous was speaking on TalkSPORT ahead of the clash between two of the Premier League’s top six.

Spurs make the trip to Old Trafford tonight, and are already seven points clear of Erik ten Hag’s side.

Their only league defeat came against bitter rivals Arsenal, and despite not always being at their best, results have been positives.

The form of forward Harry Kane has been so important to Tottenham’s start, having scored nine goals in 10 appearances.

Conte has insisted that Kane is focused on playing every match for Spurs ahead of the World Cup.

It’s a relentless schedule, and England fans might be hoping he gets a rest before heading to Qatar.

Parlour has made his Tottenham prediction ahead of their trip to United with Kane’s form in mind.

Parlour makes Tottenham v Man United prediction

Former Arsenal legend Parlour couldn’t decide between the two sides heading into this evening’s match.

“I think this will be a tight game,” Parlour said.

“As much as people say that they’re not playing great football, and it’s not great to watch, they’re getting results.

“At the end of the season, no one says, ‘they weren’t great to watch but they’ve won the league’.”

“You could argue Arsenal did that back in the day when they won 1-0 every week.

“But they got the job done, and it’s all about winning the trophy at the end of the day.

“I think Conte won’t change his style, but when you’ve got Son and Kane and Kane is on fire at the moment, he’s scoring goals every week.

“I’ve sat on the fence on this one, I’ve gone for a draw.

“If Manchester United won this one I wouldn’t be surprised, if Spurs won I wouldn’t be surprised.”

Tottenham front three spot up for grabs

Manchester United won this fixture last season 3-2 thanks to a Cristiano Ronaldo hat-trick.

However, Spurs will be hoping for a repeat of the match the season before, when they shocked Old Trafford with a 6-1 victory.

It’s normally a very exciting game between the two sides, and all eyes will be on Conte’s line-up.

With Richarlison and Dejan Kulusevski both unavailable, Conte has a big decision to make.

The Italian has suggested that there’s a possibility one Spurs player could make his first appearance on the wing this season tonight.

Parlour’s Tottenham prediction suggests he thinks it could be a very tight game.

It might take a moment of brilliance from an individual to decide the encounter.
