Tottenham vs. Sheffield United Betting Tips: Archer to find his range in North London

Newly promoted Sheffield United are the latest team to run the gauntlet against this thrilling Tottenham team being guided by their new attack-minded head coach Ange Postecoglou.
Without getting too far ahead of ourselves, this forward-thinking Tottenham team could be a real problem for the division. They aren't expected to challenge for the PL's top honour right away, but without the hinderance of a congested calendar involving European football or even the League Cup in his inaugural outing, Ange Postecoglou can almost entirely focus his efforts on delivering a satisfying league campaign for Spurs.
Meanwhile, Paul Heckingbottom is right up against it to deliver safety for a Sheffield United team who are expected to plummet back down to the Championship at the first time of asking. Much had been discussed about The Blades' lack of summer investment, but now that the window has closed, their finished business toes the line between Premier League safety and Championship promotion rather nicely.
Following three wins and one draw from four, Spurs are firmly priced as favourites for Saturday's game at 3/10. The travelling Sheffield United are huge outsiders and backers will be rewarded with odds of 10/1 should they pull off a shock win in the capital, while the draw represents a 16.1% probability at odds of 26/5.
Tottenham vs Sheffield United Tips
Not many would have expected Tottenham to smooth the landing under Big Ange so rapidly. They currently sit in second after four games, acquiring 10 points from a possible 12, with a draw away to Brentford, back-to-back wins over Man Utd and Bournemouth before dismantling Burnley 5-2 before the international break.
Given the way Spurs are approaching games under the Australian, The Lilywhites could be in for more basketball scorelines this year with their attack-first-defend-later mentality.
Fellow newbies Burnley saw how devastating Spurs could be - even without the home advantage - as Son Heung-min hit a hat-trick and Maddison continued his fantastic start with another goal.
Over 2.5 goals has landed in two of their four Premier League games, missing out by just one goal in their wins over United and Bournemouth.
Pulling from last season, The Blades lost almost double the amount of away games (7) as they did home fixtures (4) in the Championship, lending considerable support to the adage that home form is vital in any promoted side's survival bid.
After impressing on his debut outing, Cameron Archer has taken our fancy to make it two goals from two games in red and white.
In addition to scoring a lovely curled effort, he also hit another shot off the post which deflected in off the back of goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, and helped secure Sheffield United's first point back in the Premier League.
This campaign marks a big chapter in the 21-year-old's career, who netted 11 goals in 22 appearances for Boro in the second tier last term, and is now looking to establish himself at Premier League level.
It might look like a tall order for him to make a significant impression away at Tottenham, but if The Blades play to his strengths then those sharp predatory instincts in and around the 18-yard box can penetrate the Spurs backline.
Despite some strengthening the home side's defence still looks far from assured. Based on the fact that Tottenham have shipped two goals on two occasions already this season, Postecoglou is aware of these frailties himself and has chosen to employ the tactic of outscoring their opponents no matter the underlying costs of goals conceded or goal difference for the season.
