Tottenham vs Manchester United Bet Builder Tips
Under Ange Postecoglou Spurs will play a much more attacking brand of football and this was evident in their opener against Brentford last weekend. Summer signing James Maddison grabbed two assists in that game against The Bees and we are backing him to follow up with another against Man United on Saturday.
Despite being relegated with Leicester last season, Maddison still managed to register an impressive nine assists. Only six players in the division bettered that tally last season and it would be no surprise to see him right up there this season in the assist ranks, especially with Kevin De Bruyne being out injured for the next few weeks.
Maddison also ranked towards the top of the charts last season when it came to picking up yellow cards. In total, he was shown 10 yellows in just 30 appearances, with again, only six players in the division collecting more of the course of the campaign.
Referees have been told to clamp down on dissent and time-wasting this term, with high card counts expected. The former Leicester City man kicked-off the campaign with a card against Brentford last Sunday.
Looking back at Maddison’s match data from last season, this bet for him to assist and be carded in the same game landed on five occasions. It also clicked on the first day of the campaign against Brentford, meaning since the start of May it has landed in three of his last five Premier League starts.
Combining the 26-year-old to assist and be carded against Manchester United pays 14/1 with Paddy Power.
