The two sides
Manchester United carry a model rating of 7.11 against 6.71 for Tottenham. The scale is anchored so that an average side in one of Europe's big five leagues sits at 6.85, and it is adjusted for the strength of each team's league, so the two numbers are comparable even across borders.
The model expects goals
Under the hood the model expects 2.39 goals for Manchester United and 0.93 for Tottenham. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.
Manchester United rate 1.44 in attack and 0.87 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Tottenham rate 0.77 and 1.04.
How this was produced
Publicly tracked record so far: 1326 correct results out of 2837 settled predictions (47%), with 271 exact scorelines (10%). That log is updated automatically after every match and is never edited.
Full method: how the model works.
From the first whistle this page keeps going: the win probabilities at the top are recalculated as the match plays out, reading the score, the clock and any sendings-off. The same model, asked how many goals are left rather than how many there will be.
Team comparison
Bars show each side's share of the two-team total, based on the model's attack/defence ratings and expected goals for this fixture.
Why the model favours this side

Manchester United's attack/defence rating is 1.44/0.87 versus the league average (1.00 = average), compared with 0.77/1.04 for Tottenham.
