The weekend's action concludes with a meeting between the season's two under-performers, Tottenham and Manchester United.

Our tipster Brad Walker (@brad_TWalker) previews a meeting between two sides who are in dire need of three points. 

What else is there to be said regarding Tottenham and Ange Postecoglou? The Australian's job appears to be hanging by a thread following their elimination from both domestic cups in recent weeks. 

Winning the Europa League is now his only saving grace in the Spurs dugout after a miserable campaign marred by injuries. 

Visiting Manchester United are harldy high-flying, mind. 

Ruben Amorim's men may have won four of their last five in all competitions, but remain a wholly unconvincing outfit. 

The Red Devils edged past Leicester in the FA Cup a week ago courtesy of an offside Harry Maguire winner, leaving them with a shout of winning the competition for a second consecutive season. 

Amorim should of course be afforded time to leave his mark on the club, but with United meandering 13th in the table, it remains an interesting watch to see how bad things could get for them between now and May.

Stay away from the winners line

Both of these sides have been incredibly unpredictable this season, heeding a cautious approach when it comes to backing a result. 

In reality, both teams have been bang average for large spells of the campaign so far, evidenced in the paltry amount of clean sheets returned. 

Between them, Spurs and United have mustered a mere 12 clean sheets across their combined 48 league matches this season. 

The hosts also edged a thrilling 4-3 win in the Carabao Cup in December, continuing a theme of high-scoring encounters at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. 

Spurs' home fixtures have averaged a whopping 4.17 goals in total this term. In fact, 58% of these games have seen over 3.5 scored. 

I'm expecting a similar encounter this time around. Ultimately, any result seems plausible on Sunday afternoon, but whichever way the game falls, goals seem an inevitability. 

With this in mind, getting over 3.5 scored at an odds-against 6/5 is certainly worth jumping on.
