Fixture Focus - Spurs (20 Jan 2013)

Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United

Just a few months ago, under the management of AVB, we had secured our first win in 23 years over the Red Devils at Old Trafford.

And now, we shall see if we could have a double over them, the last of which was back in the 1989/1990 season.

There will be an absence of some first team players, first of which will be Sandro, who is out for the whole season due to a knee ligament injury, which means Parker would make his first appearance in the lineup for the season. Adebayor is performing his duty for his country in the African Cup of Nations, so we could see Dempsey coming up to partner Defoe. Gallas is out, and so likely Dawson will step in.

Manchester United will be without Evans and possibly Vidic, whom the latter is facing a late fitness test. Though Van Persie is due to start alone, but if their Manchester neighbours gained points on Saturday's game, we may see Rooney coming up against us to maintain the 7-point lead.

Expect an explosive match, and this time I hope there will be no Manchester United come back.

COYS!!!!!
