Tottenham vs Sheffield United tips: Ange-ball and James Maddison can inspire another Spurs win
- Robbie Savage
- 15 September 2023
Robbie Savage is a big fan of James Maddison and thinks the England international will play a big part in a Tottenham victory over Sheffield United.
Let's not forget in the FA Cup Sheffield United beat Spurs 1-0. But Angeball is doing really really well with Richarlison, Kulusevski and Son.
Maddison is in fine form for Spurs playing on that left hand side of the midfield three, but I think that suits him.
In his time at Leicester he played on the right and drifted in. Big Ange has just changed slightly with Maddison on the left hand side. I think he's in fine form.
I'm going to go with a Spurs win. Let's not forget they beat Sheffield United 4-0 back in the Premier League in May 2021.
I think they'll win this game and win this game to nil. Maddison to score in a 2-0 Spurs win.
Robbie’s tip: Tottenham 2-0 Sheffield United

Other suggested bets
Tottenham have enjoyed a near-perfect start to their campaign after racking up three wins from their opening four Premier League games.
Spurs boast the second-best attack currently in the division with 11 goals to their name, conceding just four along the way.
Sheffield United have just one point to their name following a 2-2 draw with fellow strugglers Everton just before the international break.
Paul Heckingbottom’s side have scored just four goals this season, with just the Toffees, Luton and Burnley managing fewer.
With that in mind, we’re backing Tottenham to bank their third clean sheet.
