On paper, I think this could be United's touchest match... Spurs are really on a high and would love nothing more than to end United's unbeaten run...
Spurs are usually very hard to beat at home... Even Chelsea and Arsenal suffer defeats there I think... So United could actually lose this one too... And without Park, who Fergie usually turns to in this kind of fixtures... United will be short of players willing to run and run for the whole match...
Just a pity Park is not available for this... cos the guy normally comes up with winners or important goals during this type of games...
Honestly, I would be very pleased if United gets a draw at White Heart Lane... Cos one point is better than nothing right... lol.

Squad sheets: Tottenham Hotspur v Manchester United
It is a long time since this fixture had an aura of rivalry about it. Tottenham last beat Manchester United in May 2001 and have lost 15 of 19 subsequent meetings with Sir Alex Ferguson's side. Harry Redknapp's men have taken great strides to reach the last 16 of the Champions League, but this squad could do better on the domestic front. Although the visitors are unbeaten in the Premier League, their away form has still been rather drab and Tottenham should have a real prospect of distressing United for a change. Kevin McCarra
