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.

matches.
