Manchester United will take on the “stubborn” Tottenham Hotspurs today at Old Trafford. Will Manchester United get a win tonight?
Form Guide: Spurs are one place and one point above United in the form table, based on the last six results in the Barclays Premier League. Harry Redknapp’s side have gleaned 13 points in that time, despite scoring only seven goals – best explained by 1-0 home wins over Chelsea, West Ham and Newcastle. They've scored in every league away match since Wigan on 11 January; most recently 1-1 at Sunderland and 1-2 (loss) at Blackburn. (Source : Manchester United official website)
Injury list:
Manchester United : Gary Neville, John O'Shea(could be fit in time), Owen Hargreaves
Tottenham Hotspurs : (Jermaine Jenas , Roman Pavlyuchenko)(Both have a chance to play tonight), Michael Dawson (confirmed that he will miss the match), Ledley King(have a chance to play)
From my point of view, the partnership of Ferdinand and Vidic will keep a clean sheet for Manchester United, ending Tottenham's "scoring away from home" streak. As for Manchester United, they drew 0-0 with Tottenham Hotspurs twice and won them narrowly in the FA cup, its time for them to win this game in style. Furthermore, Carlos Tevez and Dimitar Berbatov did not play at mid-week (against Portsmouth), im sure that they have enough rest and preparation for this game. Ryan Giggs is also expected to make his 800th appearance tonight. Michael Carrick also had enough rest as he came up from the bench in mid-week and played for 20minutes only.
It is also a must-win game for Manchester United if they want to retain the Premier League throphy for the third season running...
Referee : Howard Webb
Prediction for tonight : Manchester United 3-0 Tottenham Hotspurs
