"This is a tricky game". Mark Lawrenson states his prediction for Tottenham vs Manchester United

  Tottenham will host Manchester United in the Premier League on Saturday, October 30. Ahead of the game, BBC football expert Mark Lawrenson has stated his prediction.

Solskjaer has got to make United difficult to beat. Forget any flamboyant football for now, they just need to start being more solid. With the players United have got, they are a counter-attacking team. They need to start playing like one, and soak up the pressure and play on the break. Don't give me the spiel that just pouring forward is 'the United way' because the game has changed completely from those days. They need to build from back to front, and give themselves a proper foundation. This is a tricky game to approach if you are a manager under pressure like Solskjaer is, but Tottenham are still quite scatty themselves so would not surprise me if United went there and won.
