Dimitar Berbatov makes Manchester United vs Tottenham score prediction

Dimitar Berbatov is predicting a tight game between Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League's late kick-off this evening.

Both of his old sides are vying for a place in the Champions League next season. United currently sit fifth just a point outside of the Champions League places.

Spurs meanwhile are two points and two further places behind the Reds in seventh. But, Antonio Conte's Tottenham have a couple of games in hand on their hosts.

Looking ahead to the teatime kick-off, Berbatov told the Metro that tonight's game will be close. "Based on recent performances, both teams have had their ups and downs," he explained.

"Spurs beat City, lost against Burnley then had another good win against Everton. United are coming into this off the back of a disappointing result and performance against City.

"It’s a must-win for both sides in the race for a top-four spot. I can’t see a winner though."

Berbatov predicts that Manchester United and Tottenham will play out an entertaining 2-2 draw at Old Trafford. Early team news suggests that Dean Henderson will start for the Reds today as David de Gea is ill.

At White Hart Lane, Berbatov enjoyed an impressive career scoring 46 goals in 102 appearances. This form led to him moving to Old Trafford where he carried on his goalscoring trend with 56 goals in 149 appearances.
