Tottenham take on the visitors Sheffield United in the round 5 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, September 16th at Tottenham Hotspurs Stadium (London).
Tottenham are looking fairly lively so far. The Spurs began the season with rather skeptical predictions. They had to deal with the departure of their long-time leader, Harry Kane, who was not only a prolific scorer but also a playmaker, along with placing their faith in Nuno Espirito Santo, who, despite his work at Celtic, didn't have the status of a top manager, and some questionable transfer moves. While their opening match against Brentford ended in a somewhat unconvincing 2-2 draw, the Hotspurs have since won against Manchester United, and then secured maximum points against Bournemouth and Burnley (though Fulham was only beaten in a penalty shootout in the League Cup after a 1-1 draw in regular time).

Sheffield United, at the moment, appears to be one of the main contenders for relegation. The Blades have been playing under Paul Heckingbottom for the past two years. The quality of this manager, combined with the level of the players, allowed the club to return to the top division of the country, albeit on the second attempt. In 2022, the club lost in playoff matches, but in the following Championship cycle, they secured second place, earning direct promotion. However, their return to the higher level began with a series of defeats - against Crystal Palace, Nottingham Forest, and, of course, Manchester City, where they initially stood little chance. Moreover, they were eliminated from the League Cup right away, losing to Lincoln City on penalties at home. It wasn't until September that they earned their first point, drawing 2-2 at home against Everton.
Tottenham won both of their last Premier League encounters in 2021. However, in March, the teams met in the cup, and Sheffield United won 1-0. It's reasonable to expect a Tottenham victory, but surprises are always possible, especially after the international break. Let's go for a neutral total goals under 3.5.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.5 scored goals.
