Tottenham will be looking to continue their unbeaten start to the Premier League season when they welcome Sheffield United.

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.

Key stats

- Sheffield United knocked Spurs out of the FA Cup last time they met in March

- Tottenham won their last meeting in the league - 4-0 (May 2021)

- Spurs are second best goalscorers in the division and rank third on big chances created

- Sheffield United haven't won in five attempts this season

- Spurs have kept the most clean sheets in the Premier League this season

Both teams will have to contend with sizable injury lists at the weekend.

Tottenham are without Rodrigo Bentancur, Bryan Gil, Giovani Lo Celso, Ryan Sessegnon and Alfie Whiteman.

Sheffield United, on the other hand, are missing George Baldock, Rhian Brewster, John Egan, John Fleck, Daniel Jebbison, Max Lowe, Rhys Norrington Davies and Ben Osborn.
