The side had 20 shot attempts and 2.56 xG, per FotMob.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tottenham bagged four goals on a measly 0.67 xG which is impressive, but I expect more chances this go around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first meeting between these two clubs finished 3-0 to the side on Man U but I am confident Spurs can score at least a goal on Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tottenham has the sixth-most xG (40.4) and scores the third-most goals per match (2.0).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Manchester United can get in high-danger spots, too. The Red Devils have 34.2 xG this season. It&#8217;s worth taking a shot at another offensive explosion at this juicy price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key stat:<\/strong> Tottenham allows 1.5 goals against per match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quick pick<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Nottingham Forest over 1.5 goals <\/strong><strong style=\"font-weight: bold;\">(+200<strong>)<\/strong><\/strong><b>:<\/b> Nottingham Forest has been a huge surprise this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It currently sits third on the Premier League table with a 14-5-5 record. The side&#8217;s relied on strong defence over offence this season but recent results can&#8217;t be ignored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In its last EPL match, Forest steamrolled Brighton 7-0. The game before was a 5-0 defeat but the Tricky Trees scored in six of the eight league fixtures before that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The side also managed to score against Liverpool in a 1-1 draw on Jan. 14.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Playing a tough Fulham side on the road is a tall task but I think these odds are worth the risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Picks made at 2:22 p.m. on 02\/12\/25.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Premier League is back in action this weekend and I have two picks for you.
