Spurs v Man Utd

Barclays Premier League

Venue:
White Hart Lane

Date:
Sunday, 4 March

Kick-off:
1600 GMT



TEAM NEWS

Spurs will be without brave, lionhearted, fearless and courageous midfielder Scott Parker after he was sent off at the Emirates last Sunday. Gareth Bale has also been ruled out with a grade one hamstring tear, whatever that means.

Also missing out are Tom Huddlestone and William Gallas, while Rafael van der Vaart is a doubt. Kyle Walker is expected to be fit after pulling out of the England squad ahead of the friendly with the Netherlands.

Wayne Rooney is expected to return after a throat infection, while Chris Smalling is a doubt after a nasty clash of heads during the England match.

The superb Tom ‘Xavinesta’ Cleverley is out with an ankle injury and Antonio Valencia is unlikely to feature.


MATCH PREVIEW

Manchester United might have made hard work of beating Norwich last week, but they are impressive form in the league, with 5 wins and a draw in their last six outings. Sitting on the shoulder of neighbours City in the table, they're perfectly positioned to capitalise on any slip-ups by Roberto Mancini's men. Will that form continue or will Spurs bounce back well from defeat against bitter rivals Arsenal, and show their title challenging credentials?

United boast an excellent record against Spurs, having not been beaten by the North London men since 2001. United ran out comfortable winners in the return fixture in August, though the Spurs that played that day is a completely different Spurs we’ve seen for the majority of the season.

One things for sure, this is a huge fixture for both teams and a game that they will both be looking to win as they chase their respective aims, United to top the pile come May and Spurs hoping to distance themselves from the chasing pack.

Not sure about this one. It'll be about who leaks the fewest goals. So many things to consider, not least the curse of Brad Friedel. Bale will be playing, but I'm hoping he's not fully fit when he does. I doubt Smalling will be ready and I doubt we'll risk him if he's not 100% fit. Cleverley is also out. Parker out for them, but also heard Sandro is a doubt, which would be a result. At home they will have the fans behind them but I hope the result last week has dented their confidence.

Its a banker mate. Harry's record against Fergie is a joke.
Harry turns up, rolls onto his back Fergies gives him a little tickle then bums the arse off his team regardless of form, players or importance....its the circle of life for Harry.

3-1 United <_<
