Manchester United (from): Van der Sar, Kuszczak, Foster Neville, O'Shea, Rafael, De Laet, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evans, Evra Carrick, Hargreaves, Scholes, Fletcher, Park, Gibson, Obertan, Valencia, Giggs, Nani, Berbatov, Rooney, Macheda, Diouf Injured: Anderson (knee), Hargreaves (calf), Owen (hamstring) Tottenham Hotspur (from): Gomes, Dawson. Assou-Ekotto, Bale, Kaboul, Bassong, Huddlestone, Bentley, Modric, Pavlyuchenko, Crouch, Defoe, Gudjohnsen, Alnwick, Rose, Livermore, Walker, Lennon, Townsend Doubtful: Jenas (groin), King (knee) Injured: Corluka & Kranjcar (both ankle), Cudicini (broken wrists), Woodgate (groin) MATCH PREVIEW - Spurs have won only five of their 63 league matches against Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal since the turn of the Millennium. - Two of those victories have come in the last 10 days, and a hat-trick at the expense of Manchester United would be quite some feat - especially when you consider it is a barely believable 66 matches since Spurs won away at one of the Big Four. - They last triumphed at Old Trafford 21 years ago, but this match looks a close one to call. Spurs are made of sterner stuff than last season when they let slip a 2-0 half-time lead in this fixture and eventually lost 5-2. - Sir Alex Ferguson will be hoping the 93rd-minute winner by Paul Scholes against Manchester City last week, which kept alive their hopes of a fourth successive title, will give his side the momentum to see off Spurs and leapfrog Chelsea at the top of the table. - Win or lose, Tottenham will be looking for a favour on Saturday from the unlikeliest of sources. They will be hoping bitter rivals Arsenal can beat Manchester City as the race for the fourth Champions League spot nears its climax.
