Action on Super Sunday will continue with Tottenham Hotspur hosting league leaders Manchester United at White Hart Lane on January 20, 2013. Manchester United will get a chance a redemption at 1600 GMT.
Spurs beat Manchester United earlier in the season 3-2 which happened to be the Spurs first victory at Old Trafford since 1989.
Andre Villas Boas and his men will be looking to do he double over Manchester United, something not a lot of teams have managed to do in the recent seasons.
United enter this game four points ahead of Manchester City, a loss would the Red Devils not hurt much. For the Spurs third place is there for the taking as they have won nine of their last 11 games in all competitions scoring 12 in their last five games.
Gareth Bale will be the one to watch for Sir Alex Ferguson’s men as he can on his own take his team over the line. While Wayne Rooney and Robin Van Persie together can create havoc in front of Hugo Loris’s goal.
Emmanuel Adebayor and Jermaine Defoe have a rather contrasting on pitch relationship compared to Rooney and RVP and that could just about prove to be the difference between the two side.
The fixture between these teams more often than not produces loads of goals and we can expect a similar affair. This game promises to be a cliff-hanger and will be a fast game given their respective line-ups.
Tottenham Hotspurs will see club captain William Gallas and Younes Kaboul both miss out on this game due to injury. While for the Red Devils Darren Fletcher, Nemanja Vidic, Ashley Young and Johnny Evans all are probably not in contention to start due to injury.
Prediction: Manchester United 3-1 Tottenham Hotspur after the game will be fought mostly in mid-field.
