SPURS v UNITED
February 2nd 2007 17:59
Tottenham Hotspur v Manchester United, Sunday, 4pm, live on Sky Sports
Manchester United have won an incredible 21 out of 29 Premier League meetings with Tottenham Hotspur and - while their record is undeniably better at Old Trafford - they will still fancy their chances on this occasion, having won on nine of 14 trips to White Hart Lane. In-form Wayne Rooney scored a brace in the corresponding fixture last season, although Spurs' Jermaine Jenas - recently recovered from injury - struck in both of that campaign's league encounters between the sides. United will be looking to maintain their impressive form and their lead at the top of the Barclays Premiership table, while Spurs must seek to transfer their cup form - Wednesday's Carling Cup exit to Arsenal was their first defeat in a cup tie all season, and even that came in extra time - into the league to end a four-match winless run.
