Spurs Tipped to Hand Man Utd Their Worst Start in 40 Years

Lewis Jones, the tipster behind the Jones Knows column, has made a bold call for this Premier League weekend: Tottenham Hotspur, he says, will push Manchester United into their worst start to a league campaign in 40 years.

The prediction puts the spotlight on how much a single result can matter this early in the season. Dropped points now make the climb back up the table steeper, and a defeat against a direct rival would turn a difficult opening into a genuine test of confidence for the club and its supporters.

The column is built around analysis and betting insight, so the pick is best read as a view on form and momentum rather than a sure thing. Premier League fixtures are notoriously hard to call, and a late goal or an early red card can overturn the most confident forecast. Anyone weighing the tip should check the latest team news, injury updates and the current odds before the weekend's kick-offs.
