Peter Crouch Predicts Man United Win Over Spurs, Tips Thriller Between Liverpool and Man City

Former England international Peter Crouch has shared his predictions ahead of two blockbuster Premier League fixtures this weekend, backing Manchester United to defeat Tottenham Hotspur while expecting a high-scoring draw between Liverpool and Manchester City.

Manchester United will host Spurs at Old Trafford on Saturday, while Liverpool welcome Pep Guardiola’s side to Anfield on Sunday in what promises to be one of the most anticipated clashes of the season.

Speaking on the Peter Crouch Podcast, the former striker expressed confidence in United’s current momentum, suggesting that the team’s recent improvement could be the deciding factor.

“Michael Carrick has got the bounce at the moment, and that is why I think it will be a Manchester United win, personally. I am going to go with 2-0 to United,” Crouch said.

Turning his attention to the heavyweight encounter between Liverpool and Manchester City, Crouch predicted an entertaining contest filled with goals.

“This is always a tough one, isn’t it? I would like to go for 2-2 because it is working for me, and I can just see it. I am going to go with Hugo Ekitike to score first,” he added.

Both fixtures carry significant implications in the Premier League race, with teams battling for points at a crucial stage of the campaign.

Opinion: Big Predictions Reflect Just How Unpredictable the Premier League Has Become

Crouch’s predictions highlight the fascinating uncertainty surrounding this season. Manchester United’s resurgence — often described as a “new-manager bounce” — has given fans renewed belief, but Tottenham’s attacking style means the match could easily swing either way.

Meanwhile, Liverpool versus Manchester City feels like a clash that rarely disappoints. Calling a 2-2 draw seems realistic, especially given both teams’ attacking depth and recent form. What makes this matchup intriguing is the psychological edge — Liverpool’s Anfield atmosphere against City’s relentless tactical control.

Ultimately, predictions add excitement, but the Premier League has a habit of rewriting scripts. If anything, Crouch’s choices underline just how tight and competitive the title race and top-four battle have become, where even experts can only guess what drama the weekend might deliver.
