We envisage that Sheffield United will manage to put one past this Tottenham Hotspur outfit, however a single goal is unlikely to be enough to give them the result that they want.

Therefore, we’re predicting a close game with a 1-2 win for Tottenham Hotspur at full-time. There shouldn’t be much in it, either way.
