Fixture Focus–Spurs (EPL, 30 October 2010)

 Manchester United vs Tottenham Hotspur       

Could this be the year we finally get a win at Old Trafford?

An away tie with Manchester United is never easy and when you add the fact that we have not won there since 1989 (although Pedro Mendes clearly scored there on 4 January 2005 but we had blind officials then), it just makes it mentally even tougher.  Yes, this Spurs team may just be the ones to do it!

The lack of depth in our squad is a big concern for Redknapp as he has one eye on the Champions League tie against Inter Milan on Tuesday next week.  We still do not have our starting central defenders back and Defoe is still on the injured list.  There is even talk that we may have Bale start on the bench as we aim to conserve him for the Champions League tie.  But Premier League position is even more important in my opinion so given the exertions that may face the squad, a draw at Old Trafford would be gravy.  Winning will be super awesome and we will be looking to playmaker van der Vaart to show his quality again! 

COYS!!!
